A celebration of life will be held at 1:00PM, Monday, April 1, 2013 at St. Anns Catholic Church. Interment will follow at Serenity Memorial Gardens.Sipriano was born on May 18, 1950 to Dolores and Jesusita Quintana in Van Horn, Texas. We will forever remember his generosity, his loving ways, and his compassion he had for others. He was a man that taught us the meaning of strength. He also taught us to never give up and always to look at the positive side in every situation. He was a man that very rarely showed his pain and never complained, but instead worried about everyone elses well being. Giving up would have been the easiest thing to do, but no one understood how he held it together so well and always put up a reliant fight. That showed us courage and strength!The family would like to thank Dr. Larry Oliver, Dr. Russell Sawyer and all of the nurses that took such great care of Sipriano throughout his fight and all his family and friends that helped motivate Sipriano to fight and stay strong. Survivors include wife, Maria Quintana; two sons, Abel and wife Ginelle Quintana, and Tony Quintana; two daughters, Velinda Castillo and husband Robert Castillo, and Veronica Garcia and husband Juan Garcia; grandchildren, Jasmine Garcia, Victoria Garcia, Abbigael Martinez, Luis Quintana, Valerie Quintana, Samantha Martinez, and Isabella Garcia; two sisters, Isabel Olivas and Emma Rodriguez; and a brother, Dolores Quintana.Sipriano was welcomed into heaven by his mother, Jesusita Quintana, father, Dolores Quintana, and brother, Facundo Quintana.Arrangements are under the direction of Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home & Crematory of Midland.
