Raul Becerra

Our beloved father and grandfather Raul Becerra Sr. peacefully went home to Jesus on December 16th, 2020 at the age of 92. Raul was born to Alfonso and Juanita Becerra on April 29th, 1928 in Chihuahua, Chihuahua Mexico. Raul was married to his loving wife Martha Becerra for 71 years and together immigrated to El Paso, TX in the year of 1955, where he continued his trade as a successful mechanic and along with his wife raised 7 children. His biggest pride was that of his family, he was a loving and dedicated grandfather to 18 grandchildren, 45 great grandchildren and 13 great-great grandchildren, who endearingly gave him the nicknames of Papa-ul, Pa Pa and Big Grandpa. He will be deeply missed by this beautiful legacy he created and now leaves behind. Raul joins his father Alfonso, his mother Juanita, his brother Humberto, his sister Guadalupe, his great grandchild Angel, his great-great grandchild Jasiah and most recently his beloved granddaughter in law Ashlee Becerra in Heaven. He is survived by his wife Martha, his sisters; Soledad, Lilia (Miguel Angel) and Ofelia (+Efren); and by his brother Gustavo (Patricia). He is also survived by his loving children; Alfonso (Gaby), Raul (Manuela), Maria Elena (Cruz), Hector (Angie), Jorge (Pachis), Gerardo (Margie), Carlos (Briggett) and his many grandchildren and several nieces and nephews whom he also loved dearly.
