Abel Abraham
October 15, 1948 - November 30, 2021
Abel was born October 15, 1948, in Post, Texas to Abel and Gloria Abraham. "Chato" was the eldest of nine children.
He served in the United States Army and fought in the Vietnam War from 7/11/1969 to 7/10/1970. He was honorably discharged on 2/18/1971.
He married Martha Abraham and they resided in Post, Texas, where they had four children, Brenda, Jill, Lisa, and Abel III. In 1987, the family moved and settled in Waco, Texas where Abel worked for the VA hospital for over 25 years.
Abel was a good husband, a proud father, and an exceptional Pepaw. He later learned that he also had a love for animals and cared for Coco and Lily. His greatest joy was his family.
He enjoyed hunting and fishing with his brothers, son, nephews, son-in-law, and compadres. Weekends were his favorite when he would grill outside and watch college football, rooting for the UT Longhorns, Baylor Bears, and recently the Univ of Arkansas Razorbacks. He loved listening to the Oldies and tending to his plants in the backyard. His favorite show was Gunsmoke.
His smile brought comfort to those around him. He was kind, friendly to his neighbors, and was highly respected by everyone, an attribute he shared with his father. He was that person who, when he crossed your mind, you would smile and say, he's a good man. He was quiet most of the time, but when he spoke, he always knew the right thing to say. Abel will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Sarah Serrano.
He is survived by his wife, Martha; children, Brenda and former husband Julio Rodrguez; Jill and partner Marlo Soliz; Lisa and husband Lorenzo Garcia, and Abel III and wife Kristin; brothers, Louis Abraham, Cain Abraham, and Noah Abraham; sisters Linda Abraham, Betty Garza, Lucy Abraham, and Mary Saldivar; grandchildren, Matthew, Hannah, Caleb, Gustavo, and Jackson; and great-grandchildren, Aiden and Asher.
The family wishes to express their gratitude for the love and support received from family and friends.
