Aureliano Reynoso's Story

1940 - 2026

Age 85

Ukiah, California

Aureliano Reynoso, 85, passed away peacefully on February 11, 2026, in Ukiah, California. Born on June 16, 1940, in Esperanza, Guanajuato, Mexico, Aureliano lived a full and vibrant life rooted in hard work, devotion to family, and a deep connection to nature and faith.

In 1958, at the age of 18, Aureliano began his service in the Mexican Army Reserve. He served for three years with pride and discipline. After his military service, he found his calling in construction, particularly in building skyscrapers in León, Guanajuato. He often shared stories of working at great heights as a lead worker on his team. His courage and dedication to his craft were evident in every tale he told.

Later in life, Aureliano moved to Boonville, California, where he continued his hardworking ways through agricultural and landscaping jobs. Whether tending fields or shaping gardens, he brought the same passion and diligence that defined all aspects of his life.

Aureliano was a devoted Roman Catholic whose faith was central to his daily routine. He prayed constantly for the well being of his family and always offered blessings as loved ones left his home. A candle for the Virgin Mary burned continuously in his house, a symbol of his unwavering devotion.

He found joy in simple pleasures: gardening year-round, bird watching, walking along the coastlines he loved so dearly, and spending time outdoors surrounded by nature. One of his greatest joys was helping care for his grandchildren; he cherished every moment spent babysitting them.

Known for his playful spirit and warm sense of humor, Aureliano brought laughter into the lives of those around him. He was always ready with a joke or a smile and had an uncanny ability to lift spirits with just his presence. His kindness touched many lives, he was a man who showed up when needed most and gave selflessly to those he loved.

Aureliano is survived by his beloved wife, Lucina Reynoso, and their seven children. His legacy continues through 15 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren who will carry forward the values he instilled: love for family, strength through hard work; joy in simplicity, and faith that never wavers.

He was more than a father or grandfather; he was a pillar of unity within the family. His presence held everyone together through good times and bad. Even in parting, Aureliano left behind one final wish: that no one mourns him with sadness or wears black at his farewell. Instead, he asked that music fill the air as loved ones celebrate the beautiful life he lived.

Though he is no longer with us physically, Aureliano Reynoso will forever live on in our hearts, as a sweet soul who gave endlessly to others and whose memory will continue to inspire joy and unity among those who knew him.

Aureliano's last wish was for family and friends to not wear black clothes.
