Victor was born in Navasota on December 12, 1946, to Victor and Guadalupe Ostiguin, Sr. Victor was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He instilled the importance of treating everyone with respect and he never met a stranger. Victor’s grandchildren were his heart and joy. There’s no denying that his grandchildren and great grandchildren were the people that he loved the most. He attended all his grandchildren’s sporting events from t-ball, football and his granddaughter’s Friday night performances; even though he was in pain he did not want to miss them. He liked to sit outside on his front porch in his chair and tell his grandchildren about the good old days when life was so simple. He was an Army veteran, and he loved to sit and talk about his military career to his grandchildren. He worked for 43 years for the local telephone company until he retired. He was a very spiritual man and involved with the Knights of Columbus chapter and Christ Our Light Catholic Church. And so the story goes until we see him again... We love and miss you.
He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Alex and Marcus Ostiguin.
