Fidel A. Felix

Fidel Felix of McAllen, Texas went to be with our Lord on Tuesday September 22, 2026, at the age of 83. He was a caring and loving husband to his wife, a wonderful father to his children whom he loved deeply, and a role model for all his grandchildren. Family unity and love for one another were things he valued most.

Mr. Felix was a successful and respected builder and contractor with an outstanding reputation throughout the Rio Grande Valley. He was a remarkably hardworking and dedicated man who approached every aspect of his life with passion and integrity. Whether in his career, his hobbies, or his devotion to his family, he always gave his absolute best in everything that he did. He believed in the value of an honest day’s work and led by example, inspiring his children and grandchildren, and everyone around him to strive for excellence.

He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Matilde Felix, seven children, Letty Schubert of Corpus Christi, TX, Janie Maldonado (Xavier) and Mayra Muñoz (Jorge) of McAllen, TX, Yoli Mora (Robert) of Mission, TX, Adele Beltran (Aaron) and Martie Martinez (Gilbert) of Edinburg, Jorge Felix (Celeste) of Buda, TX, and his brothers, Humberto and Antonio Felix.
