“SHORT NOTICE”
US ARMY VETERAN – VIETNAM WAR
The family of Mr. Lorenzo Resendez, a US Army Veteran, requests the presence and participation of the San Antonio Patriot Guard at the services, and the LEO supported procession, and graveside rendering of military honors of their loved one. We are honored to accept this invitation.
Mr. Lorenzo Resendez was born on August 25, 1946, and he passed away on April 30, 2026.
Lorenzo was the son of Enriqueta C. Reséndez and Víctor Reséndez, who preceded him in death, as well as his brothers Víctor Reséndez Jr. and Ramón Reséndez.
He graduated from St. Mary’s University and served honorably during the Vietnam War as a second lieutenant beginning on August 20, 1969. After his military service, he worked as a pilot in California, a profession he was passionate about.
Lorenzo was a devoted Catholic, talented and dedicated. He enjoyed spending his time repairing machines and singing duet songs with María—activities that reflected his creative spirit and his love for life.
He leaves to honor his memory his beloved María Contreras, his companion, friend, and caregiver during his final years; his nieces Jennifer and Kristina Reséndez; his grand-nephews Holden and Graham Heilman; and Dayana Pérez, a friend and caregiving assistant.
He will be remembered with love for his service, his dedication, and the care he gave to those who had the privilege of knowing him.
