December 9, 1946 ~ November 10, 2020
Ovidio “Tony” R. Esquivel Sr., passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 10th, surrounded by his loved ones. He was born December 9th, 1946 in Falfurrias, TX.
Ovidio is survived by his daughter, Veronica Leyva (Arturo), his son, Ovidio Esquivel Jr. (Meghan) and his grandsons, Raul, Nicky, AJ, Pablo, Anthony and great-grandson, Aiden.

Ovidio was a staunch supporter of unions and was a proud member of the I.B.E.W, The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 278, for over 45 years. As a member, he was able to travel the globe and loved being part of the brotherhood. He was a dedicated father and grandfather and nothing made him prouder than their accomplishments. As an Ore City resident, “Coach Tony” loved the Rebels and was committed to giving back to his community. He enjoyed coaching and seeing his grandsons and others strive to reach their potential on and off the field. He loved the Donut Shop conversations, his golf cart and let’s not forget, Judge Judy. He will be deeply missed by his friends, family and all who knew him and will forever live in our hearts.
