March 26, 1933 ~ October 20, 2014
Salvador H. Rico, 81, of San Antonio, Texas succumbed to cancer peacefully in the loving arms of his faithful and loving wife on Monday, October 20, 2014. He was born in San Antonio, Texas to Salvador and Inez Rico; he was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Elida and his brother Manuel Rico. Salvador is survived by his wife Amelia Resendez Rico of 61 years; his sons Joseph and wife Anna, Steve and wife Charlene, and Salvador Jr; his grandchildren, Steve Jr and wife Alexis, Sierra, Edward, Marcos, Sabrina, Salvador, Jacob, and Danah; his great-grandchildren, Jesse Edward, Stevie III, Serenity, his siblings Eva, Esperanza, Consuelo, Maria, Jesus; and numerous nephews and nieces.
Salvador joined the Federal Government Logistics Command at Kelly Air Force Base where he proudly served 38 civil service years. He enjoyed Country, Tejano, and Jazz Music and watching western movies. He loved to be surrounded with family and friends, opening his home and inviting all to partake with him at his dining room table. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle and a true American patriot; he was kind, generous, and loving; a friend to so many. He will be greatly missed today, tomorrow and always. We thank God for his life and memory.

Popo- we miss you already. The house is empty without you. Sorry I wasn’t there the morning you left us but am glad Joe went in my place that morning and you were able to share your last minutes with him. God was in control of everything from day one! You can’t even imagine how God is showing His love and letting us know that we are not alone. Everything is working out according to His plan. We love you and the kids miss you to the max. I’m glad you are in a better place. Peace, love, and happiness to you always. Be happy now and enjoy HEAVEN – the place we always talked about. Your loving wife will be taken care of. See you when I get there. Don’t be afraid! Anna Carrizales Rico

Popo- I miss you very much. I hope you still hear so that I can tell you some stuff and ask you more questions. But God decided to take you today. I just wanted to show you a lot of stuff and be with you more but we were too busy at church and school. I miss you very much, I love you very much and I will take care of welita for you. I’ll see you in the morning when God comes for His people. I will either be here waiting for you or be with you rejoicing with God. I love you Popo. Don’t be afraid. I miss you alot! Jacob Rico
Popo, I miss you very much. Don’t be afraid because the Lord is always with you. I know you were not going to be afraid because I know you love us a lot and you care for us a lot and I remember all the memories of when you took good care of me when I was a little girl. I love you so much. Do not be afraid because I will pray for you and I will not be afraid either because all the memories that I have in my dreams I will always dream of you and I will never cry because you are in heaven and you will not be afraid. I know when you were alive you knew that you were going to die and you were not afraid. I miss welita too and you too. Welita will always care for you and will always think about you. I love you so much. Do not be afraid because I will always be with you in my heart. Love Danah Rico

We continue to pray for Mrs. Amelia and for Joe, Sal Jr and Steve and the rest of the family that God will give you comfort during this time. Mr. Rico was like family to us ever since my Sister married into their family. He was a special man to his family and to those who knew him. He was my nephew and nieces’ Grandpa – so he was special to all of us as well. I know that your lives will never be the same without him – but we stand on the promise that we will see him again on the other side. Please take comfort in knowing that “all is well”. We will all be here for Mrs. Amelia, for Joe, Anna, Jacob and Danah, and for the rest of the family should they need us. “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Again, please accept our most sincere condolences and sympathy. We are with you. – Becky and Lou Canillo

Pop’s! It’s been (3) years and it feels like yesterday. However we’re learning to cope and adjust – all through the Grace of GOD. Mom’s days are good & bad, but as we know it’s a temporary situation. I think of you all the time, I spend with mom, loving my wife and appreciating time with children, as you taught me. Your words thru instructions, advise, compassion and common sense are a standard in my daily life. I can only imagine the walk you experienced after you had to say good bye to your Father. Well, I’m having to undergo that walk, as I’ll always have to. Yet through God’s Blessing’s I don’t feel alone of dispared, in fact I live with peace and comfort knowing you accepted Christ as Saviour. That fact alone getz me through real tough dayz! God’s Holy plan (set before we were born) will allow us to see one another again one day. In the meantime I’ll live my life obeying God, remembering who I am, Thankful for you life and continually loving, caring and respecting my wife & children – Marcos Salvador, Jacob Joseph & Danah Raquel – as you loved my Mom, my brothers and me! Still love you very much Dad, i always will
