Today is his 4th year of his passing and still missing him like the first day.  Beautiful memories will keep him alive and still in my heart.

We too miss our dear Compadre.  Visited the cemetery  today and remembered all our good times.  The flowers looked beautiful and we saw your dirt in a jar.  We know that our heavenly Father will open the gates for us and he will be waiting.   Love you Compadre

My grandkids taking a momento from the mountains of Colorado with lots of love. 
Love you ♥️

Today marks the first anniversary of his passing. 
The pain is still deep in my heart.  It never goes away.  There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of my honey or mention him. 
We just came from Colorado and he was with us  I took his 2 favorite blankets and we all shared them, I took his cane and that help Frank and me walking up the hills.  He was there with us all the way.  
This year has been the hardest without him. 
I will forever love him and respect his memory.     
I feel that you are still here with us.  
You’re resting for that glorious day when we awake and be with the Lord. 🙏

My dad loved going hunting. This was one of his last hunting trips. I’m so glad my boys were able to spend that with him. C. J. Took his bronco that looks just like dad’s old truck. I’m sure dad felt like he was in hugs old truck with his grandkids. What a wonderful day he had. 🥰 of course nothing like a Whataburger after a long day of hunting. 😋

In one of his files I found this book mark and he lived by it, my smart, quite, and most adorable husband. One of his most caring things that I noticed is that he would want to always help out street vendors. He would always say “ they are trying to make an honest living “ .  Honesty was  high up in his Priorities list 🤗
He would also say “never make a joke at the expense of others”❤️

My hard working husband would bring stacks of files to work on from home on Saturday and Sundays . Files had to be carried,  no computers on those days, lots  of dedication. Hard work pays off his office was for many months the #1 
❤️ You honey for all those years dedicated to your job and family. Only the best! He didn’t have a father to teach him or a role model, he only had his mom that taught him good work ethnics.  😘 love you forever 😢

Will always treasure the long conversation we had on the phone just like all the laughs we had when we would see each other also thanks for all the good advise I needed which it will always help me and thanks he was always there for me R.I.P.   Primo

 My friendship spans 60+years with Conrado’s family and there are many memories. The more recent and most pleasant memory is that of his 70th birthday party. I believe he really enjoyed the occasion. That in itself should be a consolation to all who made it possible.
Take care.🙏

Dad would always tell me. “Enjoy the boys while they’re young cause they’ll be grown and gone before you know it.” That’s also true about loosing my dad.  I sure am glad we have so many wonderful memories with my dad cause he was gone too soon. I miss you everyday and will miss you for the rest of my days.💔

Dora!  Hay hermana Lela , nuestro más sentido pésame  a ti y toda tu familia  por la pérdida de tu querido esposo! Dios te ilumine y de resignación y que su alma  descanse en el reino De Dios.  

Love and supported all his activities!

I love you Dad I think of you every day. Even if you're gone from are everyday life your words of wisdom all the times I felled you were always there to pick me back up. You always told me "Never give up don't throw in the towel". So that's what I'll do for you. I love you Dad! I'm going to miss you!😢

Just sharing his famous pumpkin pie recipe. Made with love  for many years with grandkids!

His office baseball team! Another of his past times. He would take them fishing, hunting, Julio can tell a big story on that hunting trip. Lol 😆 his office was his family. That’s why he was loved ❤️

Dora, I was saddened when I saw Conrad's obituary today. From the Alvarez family our sincere condolences to you and your family. I know grief can be so hard to text people our condolences. Keeping you all in my prayers. Joel and Nicholas are heartbroken !! I hope we can visit face to face real soon. This virus is tearing us apart... its horrible. It feels so awkward having to text people our condolences. Keeping you all in my prayers!

Even in the super cold he would not want to miss Manuel’s game. ⚾️⚾️

He is resting for a little while, and waiting for resurrection day!  Thank you Jesus 🙏

Getting ready to start baking his favorite pumpkin pies

Mr. Peña was more than a boss.  He was a good friend, a mentor and counselor.  I will forever remember his words. His words have been an inspiration through out my career. He impacted my life so much, like he was an icon to many others.  He will be in our hearts forever.  I’m sorry I wasn’t able to attend his service was in quarantine and did not want to risk anyone. Praying for you and your family.
Our deepest condolences 

Compadre Jesse Hernandez shared a memory 

*Sharing a Laugh, and some advice* 

The photo below was taken outside of my house prior to me leaving for a school dance. The Suit I am wearing in the photo is actually my grandfather's. This photo I feel captures, in its entirety, the relationship I share with my Grandpa. He is a man who supported me and my brothers through every event and milestone in our lives. He not only provided us with the literal tools for these events but also the simplest forms of advice in the most humorous of ways.  I will miss being able to share life with my Grandpa in the physical form and all the traditions we used to partake-in together as a family. I go forward into my life knowing the part he plays in it and how he continues to live on in my life and the lives of my family. 

Beautiful Mass at Sacred Heart, where he serve as an alter boy for 10 years and did his first communion. He graduated from the catholic school and move to McAllen High school from where he gratuated in 1969

Thank you to the pallbearers for all you did to honor the memories of your grandpa and uncle. 
Conrad, Rad Lee, and Sammy all to the left Frankie, CJ (Conrad), and Paul, all to the right. You know how much your grandpa love you and enjoyed baking with you all. There was so much love shared and a lot of memories made. ❤️🍪🥮🍜

My condolences to the Pena, Velasco Family. God Bless You and be with you through these difficult times.

As a young married couple Conrado liked to take Dora for car rides sometimes going for an ice cream but mostly a ride and the radio station on. Many times I got to join them along with baby Melissa. I cherish those days of family time.  And as the years passed he got  to see his grand kids  be born and grow and he always maintained that family Unity along with Dora.  May God give strength, peace and comfort to the family at this time and in the days and years that follow. God bless.  Maricela Flores

Wishing the worlds best godfather eternal rest and peace. As their goddaughter I have many fond memories growing up with my padrinos Conrad and Dora.  Conrado will be so missed he was an amazing man who brought so much joy into all our lives. 

Blessings and love each and every day for the Pena Family! Our dear friend is now resting in heaven and watching over us all! Our condolences! 

❤️ Mr. & Mrs. Pete & Diana Suarez Davila 

I remember Tio Conrado loved to go hunting, when I was a kid the #1 rule while hunting was to be very quiet. Especially when you're hunting deer. This one time we had to wake up around 4am to go deer hunting. My cousin Conrad was old enough to use his own blind at the ranch so we dropped him off before we headed out to ours. Tio and I shared a blind that was down the road. So we slowly drove to the deer blind trying not to make a sound. When we got to our blind I remember Tio quietly and carefully climbing up the ladder to the deer blind. That day I remember being really excited because I wanted to shoot my first deer. When we finally got into the blind I couldn't take my eyes off the tiny window looking for a deer. I wasn't looking out the window that long when I heard a loud noise! When I turned around it was Tio snoring.  I didn't want to wake him up because he looked comfortable. As soon as he woke up he looked out all the windows. Took a moment and said.. I don't think any deer are  coming out today, so you can shoot a rabbit now. We didn't leave with a deer that day, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Thanks for all of the great memories and being the coolest Uncle ever!! I love you. 
RIP Tio 🙏❤

My deepest condolences to the Pena Family, I am sad to hear about Conrado I only have Great memories of him and what a wonderful man he was!! My Dad loved him like a son and they had this amazing bond together!! Dora you lost the love of your life but gained a huge Angel, I send you a big huge hug and want you to know your in my prayers!!
I share this picture of  that special friendship!! Miss them!!

2 años y 6 meses (aprox.) fué muy poco tiempo para convivir y conocer a mi suegro. Don Conrado, es como yo le solía llamar, fué una gran persona a la cual le tenía amor, cariño y respeto; no solo me acepto a mi como otra hija más si no que también recibió a mi hijo Manuel como un nieto más. Cuando Manuel empezó a jugar baseball, Don Conrado y mi suegra Dora siempre estuvieron ahi para apoyarlo, aunque Manuel se pasara la mayor parte del tiempo en la banca. Mi suegro estuvo presente en cada juego de mi hijo sin importar que tan frio estuviera el clima para el, lo cual significó mucho para mi. Don Conrado una persona muy callada, pero sus acciones hablaban mas que las palabras, siempre tenía una sonrisa para nosotros. Mi suegro fué un gran ser humano al cual tuve mucha suerte de conocer y me siento bendecida que junto con mi hijo podamos formar parte de una gran familia.

My deepest condolences  to the Pena Family. One of the memories I have of Conrado was the special bond that he and my dad had, they always went hunting together and they would always have family BBQ's And to My cousin Dora sometimes the hardest times in our life's are what pushes us further, Conrado left lots of memories hopes and dreams and the love for his family. Wish I was there with the family, Dad would have liked that. Love, Mary Chavez 


We will always remember Mr. Peña attending all of Paul's extracurricular activities: band performances,  wrestling matches and of course,  Rowe football games.  Mr. & Mrs. Peña were there to cheer and encourage Paul.  They encouraged and supported all of their grandchildren in all of their activities.  It was evident, HE truly loved spending time with all of his grandchildren. We will miss seeing him at the Velascos' house and cheering on the Rowe football team.
RIP Mr. Peña
Enrique and Nora Treviño

What do you say about a Man(Gentleman) that is no longer with us, but that I had the privilege of knowing....What a kind Man.  Mr. Pena and my Father worked together for so many years at Allied Finance, he truly was an exceptional example of a Boss.Mr. Pena was kind enough to finance MY very 1st vehicle, an 85 Honda, and for that I was so grateful.  I also came to see him later in life and saw how much FAMILY meant to him♥️I know by his acts of love how dear his Wife,Daughter/Son, Son-in-law and Grandchildren were to his heart. God Bless the Family of Conrado Pena🙏

Rest in peace, Conrad. You were a wonderful person. May God bless your family during this time of need.

Your Friends,
Rafael and Melinda Cortez

I have to go all the way back when I was a little girl. Tio Conrado would go eat at his mom’s house and I would be there, so would ask him “Have you already washed your hands?” and sometimes before I would ask him he would already tell me “Yes, I already washed my hands.” but in Spanish. As he was eating, I would go and hide his keys so he wouldn’t leave. He would go all the way outside to his car before he realized that he didn’t have his keys. He had to come inside the house and ask me for the keys because he had to go back to work and I would just laugh and laugh. Finally, when I gave him the keys he would say “Give me a sugar.” Growing up, Tio would always sing the Pink Panther song when he would see me. Lol I know he always got a kick of doing that because I had skinny legs like the pink panther. I remember that Tio would make like duck sounds to scare my kitties and then would laugh. Thank you for all fun memories and being the Best Uncle! 


Enjoyed spending time with grandkids ❤️

Dora.. Escuche la muy triste noticia de Conrado QEPD.
Deberas que lo siento muchísimo.
Les envío mis condolencias de mi y de mi familia.
Están en mis oraciones. 
Les mando un abrazote.

ConradoDora, our condolences to you and the family. Abel & Janie Riojas

This breaks my heart....I have great memories from when his family came here in the summer.  We had such great fun. He was so bashful..

My kids biggest fan!!❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

June 8, 2020 marks the saddest day of my life. I lost my hero, the  man I look up to, the man I followed around as a young girl and wanted to do everything he did. God blessed me with my wonderful father Conrado Peña who was such a hard working and loving family man. Everything he did he did for his family. He always put us first. He was always supportive and my biggest fan. My dad loved his grandchildren and spoiled them with love. He loved my husband Frank J Velasco like a son. We love you dad. I thank God for all the wonderful memories we made with you. We will miss you always and carry you in our hearts forever. ❤️

We will miss you Conrado!You always showed us a good time when we came to visit you guys on Vacation and made us feel right at home!You were such a gracious man,and a great cousin!
  Keeping your family in our prayers!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Will miss you my friend and classmate. May our Lord greet you with these words "well done my faithful servant"

First date July 1969, May 21, 1971 wedding, May 1996, our 25th wedding anniversary and May 21 2020 our 49th and planning our 50th wedding anniversary. But our Lord had a different plan. He blessed me with 49 years with the most caring husband, and the best provider, hardworking ( never wanted to stop ) even in our off days he would follow customers to collect his payments. We had fun those early years. The best dad and grandad, a loyal friend, with a very generous heart.  Up until now he would call me “babe”. I love you babe. 
I promise you, that wedding band you gave me, I’ll keep in on until the Lord calls me, ❤️😢🙏🏻

Comadre.  Our compadre was a quiet and gentleman. You both have been wonderful and true friends.  We will miss Compadre Conrad but he will live forever in our memories, such as going to park. coming over for bbq and bingo, taking rides around town and meeting up for dinner, weddings, baptisms, and so much that we have done together in the last 41 years.  He was a man of character and strong beliefs.  May he be flying with our Lord with no pain or sorrow.

My sincere condolences to the extended family. I was so sad to hear the news of Mr. Pena’s passing. Me apena was an amazing man. Those who knew him were blessed.

We shared so many memories. We were able to go Dallas Cowboys games. We were #1 but it was because he believed in us. You were proud of us and our achievements.

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Pena. My deepest sympathy are with you in this difficult time. 
Mr. Conrado Pena was such a wonderful person to work for and someone I truly admired as my  Managers for Allied Financial Setvices. He was always there to give a helping hand to all his staff.  He made sure we knew we were appreciated and we are truly going to miss him. 

I remember when I worked for him and time that I was pregnant, he always made sure I never missed my Dr. Appointments and when I was hungry would send Sandy, Hector, Ruth everyone in the office to bring me food.  Yes, there was times that things would go wrong in the office, but instead of getting mad at us he would make sure everyone understood.  I worked for him many years ago, but he taught me so much in the early days and I will never forget him! Melissa Pena Velasco Dora Conrado
So blessed for the friendship! We love you Mrs. Pena and Melissa! What an awesome grandfather to the boys!

Dearest Compadre Conrad,               Thank you for the last 40 plus years of a lifelong friendship.  Jesse and I considered you a man with integrity and quiet sense of humor.  You brought out the best in people.  My family  loved you and enjoyed your company at our gatherings.   You will continue to live in our hearts and memories.                            Love,        Compadres Jesse  & Sylvia.

It was an honor to have known such a great Man, the kids Rad Lee, Paige AnaLee and Ezra Salvador and I will truly miss their Grampa. 
I will miss him jamming out singing along  country music and the way you two would flirt with each other calling each other "Honey, Sugar, Sugar" 🎶🎵❤
 May God embrace all of you in comfort during this difficult time. I want you to know that I will be praying for strength, peace, and comfort for you and your family.
God Bless you all in Christ.
" Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way."
2 Thess 3:16 

Compadre Jesse shared a memory of their last hunting outing 

To live in the hearts of those we love is never to die, forever in our lifes and mind. We love you always ❤️

One of his greatest sayings was “it’s better to be  thought as a fool then be known as one so don’t say more then what you have to” . He was so quiet and never would say nothing out of context and before he spoke I’m sure he put a thought  to what he wanted to say. 
Silence is a firtue..  Love you honey, for 52 years I’ve learned so much from you and for that I’m a better person. I know that everything that I do you will forever be present and I won’t be alone because you gave me 2 wonderful children that make me so proud and now our 7 grandkids that I adore. Our extended family Frank (son in law) that we love him like a son and now Mayela with her son Manuel like our grandkid.  
Angela that was in our life for 11 years and still consider her my family. 
Judy  that was Conrad’s first wife that gave us Zoe our first granddaughter.  So proud of her and miss her so much, “I love you” babe.  

I worked with Mr. Pena at  Allied Finance for 9 years, he was a great boss.  One memory that stayed with me is when he hired me,  he said that up to then everyone he had hired from Starr County were hard workers and that he knew I wouldn’t disappoint him. So sorry for your loss Mrs. Pena, May God be with you and your family in this difficult time.  Rest In Peace, Mr. Pena, you will be missed by all who had the privilege to  cross your path in life.

I met Conrado when I was only 15 years old at my cousin’s wedding September of 1968 he was the best man and I was the maid of honor.  I thought he was so super nice and such a gentle man, he was the type person to open the door and pull out the chair.  The wedding  was over and I didn’t see him for 9 months, he said he would always called but I was never home. 
July 1969 I needed an escort for a quince, and guess what? I thought of Conrado, I proceeded to call him and he didn’t want to be my escort, he was very restful of me not ever answering his calls. Thanks to his mom she told him “pobresita dile que si” . From that day July 1969 we never separated and started a beautiful movie like romance, the love of my life. He was so caring and mostly very giving he would shower me with gifts. 
May 21 1971 we got married, and 9 months later we had a beautiful baby girl name her Melissa. Conrado would take her fishing and hunting and played ball and basketball. He was a super good dad. 1977 we had a strong healthy baby boy and that completed our family. 
Conrado was going to Pan American, 2 years into his superior education he had to stop to find work and support a family, from that day October of 1971 he became a workaholic working for Allied Finance as a service representative. Couple a years later he jumped to the position of manger and he escalated his promotions to Vice President of the same company. He earned so many awards and recognition and won trips to Hawaii, Las Vegas and travel to so many places in the United States for meeting and trainings . He was very well like by his staff and bosses that when he left the company for a couple of years, he was rehired and restated with better pay and all his full benefits of pensions and so much more.  After so many countless blessings his health started failing and needed a kidney transplant, 
That forced him to retire in 2009. With greatest regret he left the company that was his home for 38 years. 

Dad had knee replacement but a big fight was scheduled for that night and Frank and my boys bought him a shirt, snuck in a tv and snacks and watched the fight with their grandpa. He loved watching a good fight with great company. 

I remember playing tennis with my dad and hitting the ball like A home run. He started taking extra tennis balls so we wouldn’t have to keep running out of the courts to get them.  With his patience and perseverance I finally got the hang of it.  Thank you dad for for showing me how to play the sport. 
Love
 Melissa Peña-Velasco

Conrado is cousin to us and we will dearly miss him.  Our prayers to you, Dora, and your family.  - Esperanza Lopez 

Dora & Families
