Augustine Robert Perez

Augustine Robert Perez, 76 of Fresno, California, died on Friday, October 28, 2022, in Fresno, California. Augustine was born to Gabriel Perez and Amelia Zamora on June 12, 1946 in Fresno, California. Augustine known better by his friends and family as Augie. There are a few things worth mentioning about Augie that I'm sure those that knew and loved him will agree with. Augie was a person who respected and loved his family very much, and he was also a person who was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need, whether it be helping an elderly person in the grocery store find something or unloading their groceries into the car, always sure to tell them to watch out for their purses and to never trust anyone. He was that kind of caring and loving individual. Augie also loved music and loved to dance. I remember the time Augie and I took a cruise ship to Ensenada I couldn't find him anywhere. I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised to find him leading the congo line around the pool. He never knew a stranger. The next day as we were leaving the ship to enter the town of Ensenada. Augie couldn't be found. As I started back for the ship, thinking Augie might still be aboard, there he was standing erect with his hand over his heart saluting the Mexican flag. I said, I thought you were born in the U.S. He just looked at me intently and said this is our flag. I knew he meant it stood for Mexican people everywhere. He was very proud of his Mexican heritage. Augie was a fun loving person who enjoyed having a good time, especially with people he loved and cared about. There were so many sides to Augie that its really hard to note just a few of them. I do believe we should mention that Augie was also a man of faith. Many times I've heard him or seen him praying for those that were dear to him, and many times I've heard him say I love my Lord, I love my Jesus, and I new he meant it. I know he is in the arms of Jesus and that thought brings us peace even though we will miss him deeply. Viewing will be held 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM Thursday, November 17th, 2022 at Salser & Dillard Creighton Chapel, 1588 Lincoln Street, Kingsburg with a Rosary service starting at 6:00 PM at Salser & Dillard Creighton Chapel, 1588 Lincoln Street, Kingsburg.
