September 12, 1961 — May 3, 2026
It is with heavy hearts and profound gratitude for a life well-lived that we announce the passing of Miguel Esparza Esqueda, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. Miguel departed this world on May 3, 2026, at the age of 64, surrounded by the love and warmth of his devoted family.
Born on September 12, 1961, in the vibrant city of Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, Miguel was the cherished son of Alberto and Hermilla Esparza. His upbringing in a lively and close-knit family fostered a deep appreciation for the values of dedication, loyalty, and family bonds—principles that would guide him throughout his life.
In 1979, Miguel's journey led him to El Paso, Texas, where he married the love of his life, Rosemary Franco. Their union, spanning an incredible 47 years, was a testament to unwavering support and shared dreams. Together, they built a life filled with laughter, love, and the joy of raising three wonderful children: Miguel Jr., Melanie, and Daniel.
Miguel's professional life was marked by an unwavering work ethic, a quality that was evident in his long tenure at Wal-Mart. His colleagues knew him as a reliable and dedicated worker, whose commitment to his job was only surpassed by his devotion to his family. He understood the importance of hard work and its role in providing for and nurturing those he loved most.
For Miguel, family was the cornerstone of his existence. He delighted in every moment spent with his four grandchildren, whose laughter and innocence brought boundless joy to his heart. His love for food was more than just a passion; it was a means of bringing his family together, creating cherished memories around the table that will forever be remembered.
Miguel was predeceased by his father, Alberto, and four brothers, leaving behind a legacy of resilience and unity. His memory will continue to be cherished by his beloved wife, Rosemary, his children, Miguel Jr., Melanie, and Daniel, and his grandchildren, who will carry forward his spirit. He also leaves behind a loving network of brothers and sisters, nieces, nephews, and countless friends who were touched by his kindness and generosity.
In this time of reflection and remembrance, the Esparza Esqueda family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Baylor Hospital in Dallas, Texas, for their compassionate care and support during Miguel's final days. A special thank you is extended to the nurses who provided comfort and kindness.
Miguel's life was a tapestry of love, perseverance, and the simple joys that define a life well-lived. His legacy will endure in the hearts of those who knew him, a testament to a man who lived with integrity and a deep affection for those he loved.
A celebration of Miguel's life will be held at a date to be determined, where family and friends will gather to honor a remarkable man who touched the lives of so many. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to a charity of your choice in Miguel's memory.
Miguel Esparza Esqueda will be dearly missed, but his spirit will forever remain a guiding light for those he leaves behind.
