Con gran pesar y aprecio por una vida bien vivida, compartimos el fallecimiento de Buenaventura Luna, quien nacio en el 14 de julio de 1956, en el vibrante estado de Guanajuato, México, y finalizó el 10 de febrero de 2025. La vida de Buenaventura se caracterizó por la resiliencia, la determinación y un amor duradero por su familia, que estableció su hogar en Pflugerville, Texas.

Como dijo una vez el poeta Federico García Lorca: 'El verdadero amor no es el que se habla, sino el que se muestra'. Ésta era la esencia del espíritu de Buenaventura: su amor por su familia se reflejaba en cada una de sus acciones, convirtiéndolo en una fuente constante de luz y fortaleza para sus seres queridos.Buenaventura era un hombre de familia dedicado y un amigo leal. Su espíritu alegre y su optimismo inquebrantable, incluso ante la adversidad, fueron sus señas de identidad.

Le sobreviven su amada esposa, Elsie Durán, y sus hermanos, Sabas Delgado, Cleotilde Luna, Herminia Luna, Bernardo Luna, Sabas Luna y Manuel Luna. Él fue un pilar de fortaleza para ellos y su memoria será para siempre un faro de amor y guía.

El servicio de visita en honor a la vida de Buenaventura se llevará a cabo el jueves 20 de febrero de 2025 a las 5:00 pm CST en Mission Funeral Home Heritage Chapel (East Side), ubicada en 1615 East Cesar Chavez Street, Austin, Texas, 78702. El rezo del Santo Rosario seguirá a las 7:00 pm CST en el mismo lugar. El servicio de liturgia funeraria se llevará a cabo el viernes 21 de febrero de 2025 a las 11:00 a. m. CST en Mission Funeral Home Heritage Chapel. Después del servicio, el entierro se llevará a cabo en el cementerio Capital Memorial Park, 14501 N. IH-35, Pflugerville, Texas, 78660, a las 12:30 p.m. CST.

Buenaventura was born on July 14th, 1956 and passed away on February 10th, 2025 at the age of 68

Take the guess work out of your wishes for your loved ones. Let them know while you're still alive what you want to happen after you've died.

Have you made your final wishes known?

08/22/2024

The process of making funeral arrangements can be quite stressful for the loved ones of the deceased. Often, families are not aware of the final wishes of their loved one, and the cost of a funeral can add to the financial burden of the bereaved family. Pre-planning for a funeral can help relieve some of the emotional stress of the family and can also eliminate the financial burden of purchasing funeral services and goods.
