Eutiquio Perez

On Saturday, September 12, 2015, The Lord called his servant Eutiquio "Tico" Chavez Perez, age 77, to rest at University Of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston. He was born in Donna, Texas on March 14, 1938. He was retired from Texas Department of Transportation where he worked as a welding supervisor for the ferry landing in Galveston, Texas.

Eutiquio "Tico"was a loving son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, friend, companion, etc. Tico enjoyed numerous actives such as fishing, hunting, baseball, softball, and he taught his family his love for these activities. Many who know his family can see it in the talents and accomplishments of his children and grandchildren. In his earlier years, Tico was a fan of the Dallas Cowboys and later the Houston Texans.

Tico began his trade as a welder while working at Kiddyland on Stewart Beach and he enhanced it by attending night school. This education allowed him to acquire employment with Todd's Shipyard and later Texas Department of Transportation. During this transition he also worked for Roulet's Liquor in Galveston to support his family. In support of his brothers, he donated time to the VFW. He was a generous man with his time and talents. Anyone could call him at any time of the day and he would drop everything to help. He was a very giving and caring man. Tico was devoted to his family. His brothers and sisters always said he is a great brother and were proud to have him as a brother. Anyone who knew him would also say the same as a friend. Tico was a rich man, not in wealth but in love by his family and his numerous friends young and old. Tico will be greatly missed by all.
