Frank Longoria, Jr Obituary

Francisco “Pancho" Longoria
March 24, 1935 – October 15, 2025


Frank "Pancho" Longoria, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, was called to his heavenly home on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, at the age of 90.


Born on March 24, 1935, Pancho was a man of unwavering faith and a joyful heart. He deeply loved God, his family, and the simple joys of life. A true outdoorsman, he found peace in fishing and happiness in music. He was a talented musician and was most at home when playing his beloved accordion—spreading joy to everyone around him.


Pancho leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, music, and faith. He is survived by his children: Frank Longoria III (Andrea), Rosie Ruddick (Ronnie), Robert Longoria (Senaida), Raquel Longoria, Yolanda Martinez (Jesse), and Amy Glaze. He was a proud grandfather to 16 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.


He is preceded in death by his parents, Francisco and Natividad Longoria; his siblings David Longoria, Benito Longoria, Reymundo Longoria, and Lydia Guerrero; and his beloved daughter, Emily Perez.


Visitation will be held on Monday, October 20, 2025, from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Duncan Roberts Funeral Home.


Funeral services will take place on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Duncan Funeral Home in Bay City, Texas, with burial to follow at Midfield Cemetery.


A reception will follow the services at the Blessing Community Center.


Pancho's love, music, and faithful spirit will be remembered always. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.


"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
— 2 Timothy 4:7


“Well done, good and faithful servant… Enter into the joy of your Lord.”
— Matthew 25:23
