Augustin Gaitan

Augustin Gaitan, beloved husband, father, son, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on August 23, 2023 in his hometown of Seguin, Texas. Born on April 9, 1978, Augustin lived a life filled with love, purpose, and dedication to his family and community. His departure leaves an indelible void in the hearts of all who knew him.

Augustin was a hardworking individual who dedicated himself to the success of Gaitan Paving, a family business that has been serving the Seguin area for generations. His commitment and perseverance were evident in every project he undertook. 

Beyond his professional endeavors, Augustin had a zest for life that was unwavering. He found solace in fishing trips where he could immerse himself in the serenity of nature. As an avid fan of the Dallas Cowboys, he would eagerly gather with friends and family during game days to cheer on his beloved team. When Augustin wasn't casting lines or cheering for touchdowns, he would often be heard singing his favorite tunes or indulging in evenings at home watching movies.

Augustin's greatest joy came from his role as a husband, father and grandfather. Beside him throughout life's joys and challenges was his loving wife Samantha Zamora. Their relationship was a beautiful testament to love and commitment that will continue to inspire all who knew them. Together they built a home filled with laughter, cherished memories, and unwavering love.

Augustin's children - Augustin Gaitan Jr., Bianca Gaitan, and Daniella Gaitan - were the pride and joy of his life. He watched them grow into remarkable individuals with admiration and unwavering support. He encouraged their dreams while instilling within them values of compassion, perseverance, and gratitude. His legacy lives on through their lives as well as through his grandchildren, Dani Zae Valdez and David Andrew Valdez III who he cherished since the moment they were born.

Augustin was a beloved son, cherished by his parents Amado Gaitan Sr. and Dominga Gaitan. He was blessed to have a large and loving family, including his brothers - Amado Gaitan Jr., Gilbert Gaitan, Adam Gaitan, Daniel Gaitan, and Elvis Gaitan - and sisters - Linda Gaitan, Elizabeth Carrillo, Dominga Andrade, and Susie Gaitan. Their bond was unbreakable, marked by endless love, support, and shared memories.

With Augustin's passing, we mourn the loss of a remarkable individual who touched the lives of many. He will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, and unwavering love for those around him. Augustin's memory will forever resonate in the hearts of his loved ones and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Augustin Gaitan will forever remain etched in our hearts as an extraordinary individual who exemplified dedication to family and unwavering love for all those around him. May his soul find eternal peace as we carry forward his love and spirit throughout our lives.
