Jacinto Espinoza

Jacinto Espinoza was born on December 26, 1951 in Matamoros, Mexico and passed away on January 12, 2026 in Brownsville, Texas, at the age of 74. He was the eldest of 7. He was a graduate of Sharyland Highschool Class of 1976. Although he considered Mission his hometown he lived in Brownsville for most of his life after moving there to help Manage El Globo Supermarket. He retired in 2017 after having worked for El Globo for more than 35 years.

Jacinto lived a grounded and meaningful life. He was known for his strong sense of responsibility and dedication to his family, and for being organized and dependable, someone who took pride in how he cared for his home and his time. He stayed active in his own way, spending much of his time at home and with family, and he especially enjoyed being with his grandchildren, who brought him a great deal of happiness.

He had a creative side and enjoyed drawing, often sketching scenes from everyday life and the world around him. He dreamt of being either a pilot or an architect, but put his focus on his family. He also enjoyed drawing for his grandchildren, something that brought him joy and allowed him to share his creativity with them. It was something he truly enjoyed and made time for, finding satisfaction in the process and in seeing his ideas take shape.

He is survived by his daughter, Claudia Medina, son in law, Armando Medina, as well as his beloved grandchildren Anthony, Marco and Cianna. He is also survived by his siblings Mary and Romeo Garza, Jose Espinoza, Mary and Albert Lopez, Agustin Lopez Jr, John Lopez, Rosie and Fred Reyes, 5 nephews, 11 nieces, 21 great nephews and 20 great nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents Agustin and Isidra Lopez.

He was a wonderful son, and his kindness always shone through in the way he cared for his younger siblings and nieces/nephews. We will miss him more than words can say.

A gathering to honor Jacinto’s life will be held at Ric Brown Family Funeral Home at 621 E Griffin Parkway Mission, Texas 78574 on Friday, January 16th at 1pm immediately followed by a Burial at Garden of the Angels Cemetery in Palmview, Texas.
