Miguel Gil Valverde, born on January 13, 1981, in Dumas, Texas, was a beacon of resilience, radiating strength and positivity to all who were fortunate to cross his path. Miguel was a thoughtful soul whose generosity knew no bounds. His loving nature led him to become an amazing brother, a cherished uncle, and a friend to many. He was the type of person who would give you his last dollar and the shirt off his back without a moment’s hesitation.

Miguel was known for his sage advice, a soothing balm to weary hearts. His love for his nephew was profound, treating him with the care, attention, and affection of a doting father.

Miguel leaves behind his brothers Gilbert and Angel Valverde, his sister Jean Yeats and her husband Donny, his sister-in-law Marielena Valverde, and a host of beloved nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents, Harvey and Delfina Valverde.
