Marco Antonio

Gracia

With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Marco Antonio Gracia, age 55, who passed away in Midland, Texas. Marco was born on January 20, 1970, in Harlingen, Texas, to Noe Gracia and Felicitas Martinez Gracia.

Marco proudly served his country in the United States Army as a Cavalry Scout, a role that reflected his courage, discipline, and dedication. During his service, he honorably served in Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Lone Star. Marco's service to his country will be remembered with honor, and his legacy of strength, loyalty, and love will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Outside of his service, Marco found joy in life's simple pleasures. He was a huge Houston Texans fan who loved to barbecue, relax, and listen to rock music, especially when surrounded by family, friends, and his dogs. He cherished spending time with his loyal companions, who brought him constant comfort and happiness.

He leaves behind his four beloved children: Christopher Gracia (Kristal), Amber Gracia, Karmie Gracia, and Derrik Gracia; and his cherished grandchildren, Emma Gracia and Ender Gracia. He is also survived by his parents, Noe Gracia and Felicitas Gracia; his sister, Alma Rodriguez (Samuel Rodriguez †); and his beloved fur babies, Isla and Tex, along with his fur nephew and nieces, Austin, Aspen, and Asia †.
