Rudy Carrillo, 72, of Beaumont, died Monday, April 11, 2005 at his home.
A native of Houston, he lived in the Beaumont area most of his life, and was owner and operator of Pancho’s Paint and Body Shop for fifty years. Rudy was a United States Army Veteran and a long time member of St. Anthony Cathedral.
Rudy was such a very special person to so many friends and family. He was very active in the Golden Gloves Boxing Association, an avid lover of the Houston Texans football team, and loved to work out. His life exemplified how much of a caring person he was to everyone he knew and met. His love for family and his pride in his nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews meant the world to him. His friends at Changing Times will always remember Rudy’s special friendship and will never be forgotten.
All the special memories will be forever cherished especially those great jokes like, his “Are You Yellow or Scared”, will always make us laugh. Nothing will ever be the same without our “Rudy Booty Tooty.” He always showed a special love for his cat Lucky-Dog.
Survivors include his brother, Randy Carrillo of West Palm Beach, Florida; sister, Lillie Gonzales and her husband Alfred of Beaumont; nieces, Debbie Holton and her husband David of Beaumont, Christina Pastrano and her husband Mike of Houston, and Morgan Carrillo of West Palm Beach, Florida; nephews, Chris Gonzales and his wife Cindy of Beaumont and Michael Gonzales and his wife Cindy of Houston; eleven great nieces and nephews.
