Andres Yanez Sr. of Kyle, Texas passed away peacefully in his home December 27th, 2020. Andres was born in Jimenez, Coahuila to Manuel and Betzabe Yanez on May 18, 1946. Andres was one of 11 children. He later met and married the love of his life of 38 years, Aurora Balderas Yanez, who preceded him in death in 2012.
Andres loved to ride horses and had a passion for any type of ranch hand work. His ability to nickname all 18 grandchildren, and not know any of their real names, was just a reflection of his funny character. His witty and joking personality will be greatly missed. His greatest joys were his 18 grandchildren and great granddaughter who all knew him as "Popo".
Those left to mourn him are his sons Andres Yanez Jr. (wife Elizabeth), Rojelio Yanez, Jesus Yanez (wife Alma), and Mario Yanez; his daughter Alicia Vizcarra (husband Jason); his grandchildren Eric, Kariana, Leticia, Jesus Jr, Alecia, Breanna, Adrian, Ariana, Andrea, Humberto, Rojelio Jr, Samuel, Alexis, Aubrey, Ariely, Noah, Jesse, Kross; his great granddaughter Layluh; his sister Elia Velazquez; his brother Pedro Yanez; as well as many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, his son Humberto Yanez, and 8 siblings.
