AUSTIN, TX. - Patricio Espinoza Mejia entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, the 27th of November 2019 in Round Rock, Texas surrounded by his loving family. He was sixty-seven years of age.

Patricio was a proud veteran of the United States Army, having served overseas in Germany.

He will always be remembered for his friendliness and kindness towards those in need, his disciplined punctuality for every occasion, and as the loving and caring husband, father, grandfather, brother, and son that he was.
