Tito Jacquez

Tito Jacquez, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, godfather and friend, passed away on January 22, 2026, in Forney, Texas, at the age of 66. Born on October 23, 1959, in El Paso, Texas, Tito lived a life defined by devotion - to his family, to his work, and to the people he loved.

He built AJ Fire Protection from the ground up, not only as a business but as a reflection of his values - hard work, honesty, and a commitment to keeping others safe. Those who worked alongside him knew him as a man who led by example, who never asked of others what he wasn't willing to do himself, and who treated every person with respect. Before he retired, he was the Fire Sprinkler Manager for Zion Fire Protection, where he continued to share his expertise, leadership, and unwavering commitment to safety.

Tito leaves behind his loving wife, Connie Jacquez, who stood by his side through every season of life. He is also survived by his son, Anthony Michael Jacquez, and daughter‑in‑law Denisse Cabrera, who brought him immense pride. Nothing meant more to Tito than being "Grandpa," a role he embraced with his whole heart. His grandchildren - Anthony Michael Jacquez Jr., Victoria Alejandra Jacquez, Armani King Jacquez, and Jayden Cabrera - were his greatest joy, and he poured endless love, laughter, and guidance into their lives.

He is also remembered with deep affection by his twin brother Tony, and his siblings Carmen and Mario Jacquez. Tito's family was the center of his world, and he made sure they always felt supported, protected, and loved.

Tito lived with a spirit full of adventure and enthusiasm. He found peace on the slopes as an avid skier, cheered passionately for his Dallas Cowboys, and treasured the quiet moments spent outdoors, especially while hunting. His faith in God was a steady anchor throughout his life, and he found comfort and purpose in his church community. Those who knew Tito will forever remember his warm presence, his generous heart, and the laughter that could fill a room.

Family and friends will gather to honor Tito's life on February 5, 2026, at New Hope Funeral Home. Visitation will begin at 1:00 PM, followed by a funeral service at 2:30 PM, with burial at New Hope Memorial Gardens. His legacy of love, strength, and unwavering devotion will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know him.

Tito is preceded in death by his parents, Mario and Adela Jacquez, who now welcome him home.

The family is honored to have the following individuals serve as pallbearers: Anthony Jacquez, Anthony Jacquez Jr., Tony Jacquez, Mario Jacquez, Dominic Jacquez, David Glasgow, Frank Woodson, Lupe Marquez, and Steve Bellew.
