Life story

John Anthony Rubio, aged 68, departed this life peacefully Monday, February 23, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. He was born Thursday, May 30, 1957, in Houston, Texas, to Sylvester Vasquez Rubio (1920-1980) and Dora Soto (1924-1997, later Dora Gallegos). He had one sibling, Arthur Rubio (1947-1991).

He was a dedicated husband to Gloria Martinez Rubio (m. 1976), his beloved wife of 50 years, and a selfless father to Johnny (b. 1974), John "Tony" (b. 1976), James (b. 1976), Andy (b. 1978), Daniel (b. 1987) and Victor (b. 1988). A proud grandfather to eight grandchildren, Sebastian (b. 2002), Gio (b. 2005), Johnny Jr. (b. 2004), Jacob (b. 2006), Alicia, K’lyanna (b. 2006), Katelynn (b. 2008) and Jayleen (b. 2010).

A man of faith, he lived a life devoted to The Lord. His passion for the bible and the church will never be forgotten. He was known for his integrity, sense of honor, and kindness. Professionally he was a resilient persevering hardworking man who spent his last 20 years in the Maintenance Department at Pasadena ISD.

His legacy of pride, humility, and compassion will continue to inspire all who knew him. His gentle spirit, quiet strength and presence will be deeply missed. He will be remembered and cherished by all who knew him.

Friendship

I never got to meet John, but I did get blessed with his son Victor as a friend. Victor’s heart is a true testimony to John’s character. Good men raise good men and he did just that. God bless the Rubio’s.
