Antonio Negrete

Antonio Negrete was born on February 25th, 1949, in the small village of Churipitzeo, Guanajuato in Mexico but raised in Penjamo. His loving parents were Lorenzo Ruben Negrete and Carlota Gutierrez. Antonio was the oldest of 11 children, he was raised in a humble, yet strict home. As the oldest he was given the responsibility to help make ends meet. At a very young age Antonio followed in his father's footsteps and he became an incredible musician in many popular Mariachi groups. He had such a passion as a musician playing his favorite instrument, which was the trumpet. He loved to express himself with the beautiful sound of music, his contagious personality always brought smiles and laughter to others. Circa 1964 Antonio met Rosario and they both had an instant attraction as he has claimed. Their courtship, engagement and wedding were quick but very modest. They managed to stay together for 55 years while also raising 6 incredible kids, along with giving that same love to their grandchildren. They were strong-willed, passionate, loving, supportive, encouraging, forgiving and understanding people. Unfortunately, their battle against the pandemic ended in January 2021. But their legacy will live on forever through their siblings, their 6 children, Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren and everyone whose heart they touched. They will be greatly missed and god took them home to prove to us that he only takes the best.
