PHARR — Leoncio Garcia Sr., 92, passed away Friday, July 7, 2023, at his residence in Pharr.
EDINBURG — Dionicio “Nicho” Ozuna, 71, passed away Thursday, July 6, 2023, surrounded by his family in the comfort of his home. He was born October 9, 1951, in Gustavo Diaz Ordaz, Tamaulipas, Mexico. In 1966, Nicho’s father made the decision to migrate the family to the United States and settled in the small town of Lasara, TX. In 1968, the Ozunas relocated to Edinburg, TX where they still live to this day. From 1967 to 1976, Nicho along with his parents, sisters, tios, tias and primos migrated to the fields of California to work as migrant farm workers. This is where Nicho learned the trade of harvesting crops that led him to start his own watermelon harvesting business alongside his father. The true source of joy for Nicho was spending time with his grandkids and family. His love and joking sense of humor will be greatly missed but will forever remain in the hearts of his family and friends.
