Angel Valdez was born in Abilene, Texas, to Leon and Silvina Valdez on July 30, 1962. He lived his life in Abilene, where he raised his family and dedicated his career to working at Kmart for more than 35 years. He was a loving and devoted father and grandfather. Angel was the kind of person who could always be relied upon. He was there for us through every moment, no matter how big or small. Whether we needed a listening ear, guidance, or simply someone to lean on, he was unwavering in his support. His dependability was a constant source of strength, and we knew we could always count on him. He made us feel safe, loved, and understood, and that is something we will carry with us forever.

Though he is no longer with us, Angel leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and kindness that will continue to inspire all who knew him. His unwavering support, wisdom, and laughter will forever be cherished. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten. His soul has returned to God, and his memory and life live on in and with us.
