To me, my dad was a defender and a protector. He was a leader, a teacher, and a counselor. He loved me deeply, and he had a special way of making us feel beautiful, valued, and important. He made us laugh. His humor could lighten even the hardest moments.
My dad loved his grandchildren with his whole heart. He looked forward to seeing them and cherished every moment with them. Even when he was tired, even when his body was slowing down, he still gave pony rides, still played, still showed up. If that doesn’t tell you how great of a grandpa he was, I don’t know what will.
He was always there when we needed him. No matter what. He would call me every morning just to check on me, just to make sure I was okay and tell me he loved me and the girls. Making sure the man of the house was doing his do diligence as well as following Gods word and making sure I was being the woman God intended me to be to lead our children to Christ and make God known. That was his way — quiet, steady, and full of love.
My dad encouraged us to dream big, to chase our dreams, and to fight for the things worth fighting for. He believed we were capable of accomplishing big things, and his belief in us gave us strength.
He was a true God-fearing man. He taught us that God leads the way — or there is no way. He lived his faith, not just in words, but through how he loved, how he forgave, how he showed up for others, and how he led our family.
My dad leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, protection, laughter, and unwavering support. The kind of love that stays with you and shapes who you become.
We will miss his voice, his phone calls, his laughter, and his presence more than words can say. But we will carry him with us — in the lessons he taught, the faith he lived by, and the love he gave so freely.
I will miss the sweetest voice on earth with genuine love and care. I will miss you always answering the phone with “Hey Darlin or hi sweetheart” I will miss you being the one person who always picked up no matter how busy.
Daddy, thank you for loving me so well. Thank you for always being there. We love you, and we will miss you forever.
Mr. Romo was a man who had a smile on his face when he greeted you. He stayed ready. To share the gospel, to serve and love people. The joy Mr. Romo left you with was real. Straight from the heart of God. Mr. Romo left a legacy of faith that will continue on for generations to come. We have the blessed hope that we will see Mr. Romo again.
Much love to Fidelia and the family.
