Quirino “Noli” Tolentino, Jr., of Midland, TX, entered eternal rest on May 3, 2026. A visitation will begin at 10am until 9pm, on May 8, 2026, at Nalley-Pickle and Welch Funeral Home and Crematory with the rosary being prayed at 7pm. Mass and internment will be at 10am on May 11, 2026 at St. Stephen’s Catholic Church in Midland.
Noli was born on February 14, 1949 in Manila, Philippines to Quirino and Guadalupe Tolentino. He grew up in Quezon City with priorities of “family first”, good education, and a well founded work ethic. Noli graduated early from college at 20 years old and worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative for 20 years. Tennis, bowling, and basketball were sports he enjoyed throughout his life. He was a devout Catholic man with a special devotion to Our Lady of Manaoag and St. Michael the Archangel. Noli was a parishioner of St. Stephen’s Catholic Church for about 30 years. He was known to be a great story-teller and was often found filled with laughter and a welcoming smile. His grandchildren were his pride and joy. In his final days, he reflected by saying, “it’s my job to spoil my grandkids”.
Noli is survived by his wife, Zenaida Tolentino, his children Kathleen Molina and her husband Pete, Kerwin Tolentino and his wife Ayanne, along with three grandchildren, Klarisa Rodriguez and her husband Arturo, Jonathan Molina, and Christian Molina and his wife Dyamond. Additionally he is survived by his siblings Amelia de Joya, Oscar Tolentino, Ceasar Tolentino and their families.
Noli is preceded in death by his parents, Quirino and Guadalupe, and his brothers Armando and Arturo Tolentino.
The family would like to express their gratitude towards their family and friends who have reached out with love and the staff at Midland Memorial Hospital. In addition, thank you to Fr. Rodney White and Fr. Kevin Lenius for their comforting presence and making the sacraments available to Noli in his final days.
Arrangements are under the direction of Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home & Crematory of Midland. Online condolences may be made at www.npwelch.com.
