Demencio G. Bueno, Sr., 82, of Sweeny passed away February 17, 2023.  He was born April 27, 1940 in Kingsville, TX to the late Valentine Bueno and Conception Gutierrez Bueno.

Demencio was a caring father, grandfather, brother and friend.  He always had "unique" words to say to each person he encountered. He enjoyed spending time with family, friends and grandkids. Aside from his choice of words, which was probably his favorite hobby, he enjoyed watching the Houston Astros, Dallas Cowboys, going fishing, playing dominoes, and just hanging out with new-found friends.

His career began at the age of 15 as a Cowboy hand and eventually worked his way up to Ranch manager during his 30 yr. career. He then embarked onto another career as a truck driver for an additional 30yrs until he retired.

He was preceded in death by his daughter Belinda Ann Bueno Flores.  Survivors include his wife, Esmeralda Bueno; sons Daniel Bueno, Sr. (Teresa), Oscar Bueno, Sr. (Virginia), Demencio Bueno, Jr. and Armando Bueno, Sr.; daughter Christina Avila (Rafael); sisters Dora Hill, Maria Blanca Hobbs, Olga Weigel and Janie Mata; brother Valdemar Bueno; 17 grandchildren, 30 great grandchildren.
