Reynaldo Ruiz Montes
Reynaldo Ruiz Montes, 71, a resident of Pearland, TX, went to be with his Savior in Heaven on June 23, 2021 in Houston, TX. Reynaldo was born in Brownsville, TX on September 14, 1949, he was of the Baptist faith and his favorite scripture was Psalm 23.
Reynaldo was a true patriot of Texas and a devout Astros fan. His hobbies were fishing, spending time with his grandkids, listening to oldies, and taking long drives with his wife. He loved to make those around him laugh and made friends with complete strangers. He had his own nicknames for just about everyone.
He loved his family deeply and cherished the love they all had for him. He was immensely proud of his daughters and son in law. His grandchildren meant the world to him and prayed that they would know Jesus as he did.
At the end of his life, Rey’s wishes were for his family to have no more tears or sadness for him, only to remember him like he was, full of life, jokes, and stories. Most of all, he wanted them to have joy and laughter in their hearts. He used to say, Texas was the promised land, so we all hope God can rename Heaven, “Texas,” just for him.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Jesusa and Juan Montes, his brother Charles Montes, John Montes, sister Alma Ochoa, and his beloved Chloe (Chamaka)
Reynaldo leaves behind his loving wife of 52 years, Janie Montes; daughters: Stephanie Montes, Daisy Ann Montes Luera, and Liaza Montes Flores, husband Adam; grandchildren: (Animal), Jesse Ray Rubalcava, wife Ji, (Pappo Sappo), Katy Renee Williamson, husband (Moonshiner), Bryce, (Guerriche), Derrick Matthew Rubalcava, (Pumpkin), Joshua Angel Garcia, fiancé Ana Esquivel and son (Cowboy), Jesiah, (Oy), Matthew Anthony Luera, (Guerriche), John Michael Luera,

To the family of Ray Montez I am truly sorry I couldn’t be there for you all as being also a part of your family but my condolences to all of you love you dearly Jesse and Martha Cavazos
My deepest heart felt condolences to my Aunt Janie. My Mother Cindy is praying For all of you and she’s sending you all so much love during this painful time. My deepest of sympathies to My cousins’ Stephanie,Daisy and Liaza, all the Grandchildren, Uncle Tino, Aunt Linda, and everyone out there that loved My Uncle Ray. He sounded like he was truly a “one of a kind” Human being. I wish I got to know him better in my adult life. Im so thankful that my Aunt Janie shared so many great moments/photos of their lives and how they seemed to live it to the fullest. Their love for each-other definitely could be seen just by the way they looked at each other. A love everlasting. My favorite picture that my Aunt shared was of Uncle Ray riding a bicycle! This was just a year or two ago.
I can see Grandma Susie, My Dad, Uncle Charlie and Brian,Aunt Alma, and Chamaka excitingly waiting to hug and take him home to our lord Jesus💙 I believe he’ll be watching over his beautiful family and leaving heart shaped rocks or pennies to remind them He’s always with them. Maybe even riding that bicycle in Heaven, enjoying life everlasting.
Rey was always living to make people smile or laugh. All of my interactions with him had me laughing. My daughter ( his great granddaughter) loved joke arguing with him and told me she called him ” funny old pawpaw”
Janie and Rey raised some of the best kids. Liaza is a huge blessing in my life. Her and her sisters loved their dad. Janie, Daisy, Stephanie, Liaza amd Adam you’re all in my prayers. I know he is looking down on yall and smiling! Probably making everyone laugh too. Love you all !
