Aurelio “Shorty” Robles Aguilar

Aurelio (Shorty) Robles Aguilar, 80, de Big Lake, Texas, fue a estar con nuestro padre celestial el 15 de mayo de 2021. Nació el 21 de enero de 1941 a Ricardo Siller Aguilar y Dominga Robles Aguilar en Cristales, Coahuila, México. A principios de la década de 1970, Shorty trabajó como ranchero en Sweetwater, Texas, antes de mudar a su familia a Big Lake, Texas. En Big Lake, trabajó para Triple “G” Roustabout Services y Compadre Roustabout Services durante varios años hasta que se jubiló a principios de la década de 2000. Sin embargo, la jubilación nunca lo detuvo; a menudo lo encontraría en el parque del condado de Reagan recogiendo sus nueces o en el Kent local comprando sus rascadores de lotería. Le encantaba viajar a Las Vegas para apostar y ver a algunos de sus boxeadores favoritos como Mayweather, Canelo y Pacquiao.

A menudo pasaba tiempo viajando de regreso a su ciudad natal, La Muralla, México, para pasar tiempo con familiares y amigos. Su alegría en la vida era mantener a su familia y vivir la vida al máximo.

Le sobrevive su amada esposa de 58 años, Otilia Hernandez de Aguilar de Big Lake, Texas. Sus tres hijas, Leonor Aguilar Vargas y su esposo Ray de Midland, Blanca Aguilar de San Angelo, Irene Aguilar Ramirez y su esposo Joel, y un hijo, Aurelio Aguilar Jr., y su esposa Blanca (Tia J), todos de Midland. Ocho nietos; Alicia Vargas Márquez y su esposo Marc de Midland, Leonel Ramirez y su esposa Vanessa de Lubbock, Steven Vargas, Mavarick Ramirez, Kristen Vargas Bowers y su esposo Josh, Maritza Ramirez, Leandro Ramirez y Levan Aguilar, todos de Midland. Ocho bisnietos; Isabella Marquez, Sofia Marquez, Harper Bowers, Liliana Ramirez, Hayden Bowers, Maddox Marquez, Alex Marquez y Valentina Ramirez. Cuatro hermanos; Armando, Arnulfo, Raymundo (Pee Wee) y Ramiro Aguilar. Así como numerosos primos, sobrinas y sobrinos.

Le anteceden en la muerte sus padres Ricardo Siller Aguilar y Dominga Robles Aguilar; sus dos hermanos Ricardo y Rodrigo Aguilar; y sus tres hermanas Herlinda Ramirez, Oralia Barrera y Josefa Aguilar.

La familia desea expresar su sincero agradecimiento al personal del Midland Memorial Hospital y al personal de MCH ContinueCare en Odessa.

He loved to travel to Las Vegas to gamble and to watch some of his favorite boxers such as Mayweather, Canelo and Pacquiao. He often spent time traveling back to his hometown, La Muralla, Mexico, to spend time with family and friends. His joy in life was to provide for his family and live life to the fullest.
