Rodolfo

Montemayor

Rodolfo "Rudy" Montemayor, 78, entered eternal rest on October 3, 2024, in McAllen, Texas. He was born in Hidalgo, Texas on December 15, 1945, to loving parents Juan Montemayor Sr. and Virginia Tagle.

Mr. Montemayor is preceded in death by his parents, Juan and Virginia Montemayor; two sisters, Lupita Perez and Consuelo Montemayor; and two brothers, Nicolas Montemayor and Juan Montemayor Jr.

Rudy attended McHi, class of '64 and went on to proudly serve in the US National Guard for six years. He earned his Master's degree from Texas A&M University – Kingsville. He then proceeded to serve as a high school counselor for Edgewood ISD and retired after many years of service. Rudy had a deep love for family, a passion for travel, and loved to experience new cultures with those he loved.  He would often plan his next adventure with Liz and the SBKs. Rudy always had a wide smile on his face. He loved to laugh and share his zest for life with everyone he knew. Rudy was known for telling great stories and could entertain his friends and family for hours with his engaging tales and would often be confused with Steve Wynn from the casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. On the basketball court he was known as Rudy Cahootie and had a mean "Cahootie hook" shot. He never knew a stranger and had numerous friends everywhere he went. Rudy's grandchildren were the light of his life. He loved to shop for gifts for them every chance he could and couldn't wait to see his girls, Laney (4) and Libby (2), talk to them on the phone, and dance with them to the music they love.

He leaves behind his loving wife of 51 years to cherish his memory, Maria Elizabeth Montemayor; two children, Ana Patricia (Tim) Jeter and Roman Esteban (Darlene Schneider) Montemayor; granddaughters, Laney and Libby Schneider; siblings, Aracelia Garcia of Hidalgo, Jose Montemayor of Mission, Herlinda Montemayor of Hidalgo, Alfredo Montemayor of Edinburg, and Heriberto Montemayor. He also leaves behind numerous nephews, nieces, relatives, and friends.

Cremation will take place at Val Verde Crematory in Donna, Texas.
