Pablo Avalos Sepeda

Pablo Avalos Sepeda kicked the bucket on Thursday, November 21, 2019 at 12:15 p.m. at the young age of 82, after a short nine week battle with leukemia. He was born to Senobio C. Sepeda and Paublina Avalos-Castillo on January 25, 1937 in Seguin, Texas. He went happy and surrounded by family.

Pablo lived and enjoyed life to the fullest. His first passion was singing. He recorded and toured with his band, Los Caballeros de Pablo Sepeda in the 1970s. His favorite pastimes included spending time with his family, watching westerns, going to Home Depot daily, watching football and baseball, GAMBLING, and golf. He founded Los Paisanos Golf Club in Hobbs, NM, and was an active member of the PAGA in Seguin for many years. Dad worked hard all his life, becoming a jack of all trades. He and his brother operated Seguin Roofing until his girls forced him off the ladders just recently! In 1990, he and his wife Irene opened Taco Tejano Mexican restaurant in Seguin. After 28 years in business, he fulfilled his dream of building a new restaurant for his family to continue to honor his legacy in.
