Tomas Becerra

Tomas was born on May 22, 1925 to Pascual Becerra and Monica Arias in Mixtlan, Jalisco, Mexico, and is survived by his wife of 68 years, Concha Becerra, daughter Alma Zaragoza (Daniel), and four sons, Javier (Esperanza), Gerardo, Pascual (Eleanora), and Sergio (Sarah), a brother, Luis Becerra, 8 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren.

In 1942, when Tomas was a young man, he relocated to Mexicali, Baja California, where he met, fell in love, and married Concha Hernandez. Once they started a family of their own, Tomas moved the family to Delano, CA where they have resided ever since. He was a hardworking, humble, and honorable man who provided for his family. He worked for Gibson’s Concrete Irrigation Systems as a crane operator for 30 years, until his retirement in 1992.

Tomas was known as a family man with strong values that centered around his faith. He was a husband, father, provider, protector and showed his all-encompassing love for his family every step of the way. His love for his family only grew once he welcomed his grandchildren to the world. He never missed a hug, a smile, a memory or important event. He was a hero to us all and he took that role very seriously. Tomas and his wife enjoyed traveling and socializing with friends at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church where they were both members of the "Los Adoradores” group for 20 years. His family is at peace knowing that their husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather has passed peacefully into God’s graces.

Heaven has gained another Angel and we are so grateful to have loved Tomas for the time he was here next to us.

Until we meet again.
