Rudolfo Paniagua

Mr. Rudolfo “Rudy” Ricardo Paniagua, 72, of Benbrook, Texas, entered the presence of the Lord on the morning of December 10, 2020.

A Memorial Service to celebrate his life will be held at the Holy Family Catholic Church at 6150 Pershing Avenue in Fort Worth on January 9, 2020 at 10:00 am. For those who wish to attend but cannot, there will be a live stream on the church website.

Rudy was born on May 10, 1948 in Corpus Christi. He lived a life that he himself described as “good and full.” For years, he worked tirelessly to provide for the needs of his family and friends. Overtime, his desire to support those around him led him to obtain titles that included construction supervisor, HVAC technician, and licensed real estate agent. A clown at heart, he was able to find a reason to smile or make someone smile each day. His outgoing personality, joking demeanor and extreme generosity are the qualities those close to him will undoubtedly miss the most.

Rudy was preceded in death by his father, Jose Paniagua, his mother, Herlinda Ibanez Paniagua, and his sister, Margo Lerma.

He is survived by his wife, Guadalupe Paniagua (Rodriguez) of Benbrook; sons, Rudy Paniagua Jr. and wife, Kathy of Haslet and Randy Paniagua of Fort Worth; grandsons, Jacob Paniagua of Allen, and Brandon Paniagua and wife, Destiny of Broken Arrow, Okla.; great-grandchildren, Gracee Paniagua, Dawson Paniagua, and Rilee Paniagua of Broken Arrow, Okla; sister, Belinda Puente of California; brothers, Ross Paniagua and wife, Beatrice of Houston and Joe Paniagua and wife, Elsa of Fort Worth; along with numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family.
