When I hear the thunder roll, and the lightning strike , I’ll know it’s you playing your drums and electric guitar
Life story

Our dad was a very loving caring person. His favorite color was blue, he had the greatest Scooby-doo laugh, loved a cold Budweiser, he was a die-hard number one dolphin's fan. He always loved his daughters, family and friends dearly. He always wanted all his family to love each other like he did them. He seen the good in people and always wanted everyone to get along. Our dad wasn’t perfect, but he had the biggest heart and cared for everyone else's wants and needs before his own no matter who it was. He always would say “I love you, and I’ll be praying for you". He loved music like rock and roll and Tejano. He loved to play his air guitar and air drums. He loved to dance Tejano even if it was alone. He enjoyed church and reading the Bible. When you reminisce of Nick A Valdez picture him rocking out to music like ACDC, Journey, Ozzy Osborne, Creed playing his air guitar or air drums, or picture him dancing to la Movida or Agustin Ramirez.

We will see you again in another place where we never have to say good-bye.

He leaves behind to mourn a wife; Omega Manzano Valdez, four children; Angelica (Jesus), Crystal, Nikkie (Miguel) and Daniella (Cristhian), along with eleven grandchildren; Amari, Ayden, Aaron, Nathaniel, Dalilah, Jenasis, Johnathan, Miguel, Marisol, Camila and Dalani. Brothers and sisters: Pete Valdez Jr, Juan Valdez, Josie Valdez, Theresa Valdez Myers, Rosemary Valdez Serrata, Sammy Valdez and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by His father, mother, and brother James (Jamie)
