Hector Sarmiento

Hector Sarmiento, of Terrell, passed away on November 2, 2023 at his home. He was born July 7, 1958 in Tecolutla, Veracruz, Mexico to Hector Sarmiento Garcia and Anna Maria Sosa and he was joyfully welcomed into Heaven by his Lord and Savior as well as his mother. He married the love of his life, Lola, in 1978 and together, they built a wonderful family throughout their over 4 decades together, raising their children in a home filled with love and faith. He moved to Texas in 1998 and was self employed in the construction business. Hector was an active member of La Primera Iglesia Bautista in Terrell where he participated in many ministries as well as serving as a Deacon. However, Hector's greatest ministry and passion was to share the Gospel to everyone he met. While Hector did proudly share the Gospel, it was seen more readily in his life and how he lived it according to beloved Biblical principles. Hector also enjoyed playing soccer with his true enjoyment being able to watch his grandkids play soccer. At every game, he was their number one fan as he cheered them on. Hector’s priority was always being a loving provider and spiritual example for his family and his devotion to them was always evident. Spending time with his loved ones was always Hector’s priority and he treasured the days he was able to relax, visit and catch up with them. A loving husband, cherished father, devoted grandfather, treasured son and beloved brother, uncle and friend, Hector will be greatly missed until his family can all see him again in the eternal home the Jesus tells us is ours when we simply trust in Him. Hector leaves his legacy of love to be forever celebrated and remembered to his wife of 45 years, Lola Sanchez, children: Hector Hugo Sarmiento, Salvador Sarmiento, Christian Sarmiento and Diana Sarmiento; grandchildren: Alexia G., Julian, Alan, Amy, Alexis, Camila and Neymar; his father, Hector Sarmiento Garcia and siblings: Silvio Sarmiento and Maria Leticia Sosa as well as many other extended family and friends. A Celebration of his life will be at 11:00am, Sunday, November 5, 2023, at Primera Baptist Church in Terrell where all are welcome to attend and share the many memories of Hector.
