Obituary of Theodore Ayala

THEODORE "THEO" OMNER AYALA Theodore "Theo" Omner Ayala, beloved son and brother, crossed the veil on Wednesday, September 7, 2016, in Edinburg in his mother's arms surrounded by his family. Theodore is preceded in death by his maternal great-grandfather Ernesto Heredia. Although Theo's body couldn't reach the potential of his spirit in this life, his example lives on. His courage inspired so many people through his magnetic personality. His family knows that he will constantly be watching over them as they continue to learn from his life. The world is a more blessed place to have this special celestial soul a part of it these 3 short months. Praise be to our Heavenly Father in all his mercifulness for he called one of his most valiant sons, Theo, home. Theodore is survived by his parents, Samuel V. and Anna L. Ayala; two brothers, Nephi and Ammon; paternal grandparents, Pedro and Linda Ayala; maternal grandparents, Samuel and Esther Duran; three great grandmothers; numerous uncles, aunts, and cousins.
