Ignacio Moreno

    Ignacio Limon Moreno, 85, of Kyle, Texas passed on Tuesday, March 31, 2020. 
    He was born in Austin, Texas on April 1, 1934 to Ignacio and Salome Limon Moreno. Mr. Moreno lived in Lamesa, Texas for most of his childhood until he and his family moved to Austin, Texas in 1966.
    He is survived by this wife of 66 years, Tomasa “Tommie” Moreno, and their five children and their spouses: David Moreno, Daniel Moreno (Teresa), Libby De Leon (Mario), Louis Moreno (Terri), and Richard Moreno. In addition, he is survived by nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. 
    His grandson, Mark Moreno, preceded him in death.
    He is also survived by his sisters, Josephine Zamarripa and Dora Ortiz (Jesse). His two brothers, Pete Moreno and John Trevino, Jr. preceded him in death. He was also preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Concepcion Moreno, and his paternal aunt, Isidra Moreno, who raised him.
    Ignacio was a proud, lifelong servant of the Catholic Church. He began that servitude as an altar boy at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Lamesa. Before moving to Austin, he and his family were members of Saint Margaret Mary Catholic Church. He continued serving throughout his adult life as a lector, a catechist, an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion, and the founder of the Austin Rosary Crusade. The impact of his belief in the power of the Rosary is widespread as there are now chapters of the Crusade throughout Texas. In 2007, the Diocese of Austin awarded he and his wife the Lumen Gentium award for their selfless and tireless work. 
    Although he suffered for decades with crippling arthritis and needed the assistance of a cane or wheelchair, Ignacio never complained. He still attended daily mass, joined in prayer ministry for local inmates and hosted premarital counseling for hundreds of Spanish-speaking parishioners.
    His family will remember him for his love of history, Longhorn football, and a nice hat. Though he passed in these unusual times, he lived in the most humble, ordinary way: never worrying about the riches of the world, but appreciative for the world that was promised to him. 
    Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Weed-Corley-Fish Funeral Home, 2620 S. Congress Avenue, Austin, TX.
