Felix Almarz was born on November 21, 1940 in Rio Grande, Zacatecas, Mexico to Juan Almarz & Maria Santacruz. He had lived in Madisonville since 1988 and made his living as a farm hand. Felix enjoyed his work because it allowed him to be outdoors. This is where Felix was happiest and would have rather been outside than inside any day. Felix was Catholic in faith. He passed away on February 22, 2017 in Madisonville following a lengthy illness. Felix was preceded in death by both of his parents and his daughter, Silvina Almarz.
