With deep sorrow, but also with gratitude for the life he shared with us, the Padilla family announces the passing of Genaro Padilla, who departed March 14, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. He was 62.

Genaro Padilla, originally from Acatic, Jalisco, and a resident of Kingfisher, was a man remembered for his generous character, his contagious joy and his authentic way of living life.

Throughout his life, Genaro always cared for his family with love, responsibility and pride. He enjoyed spending time with his loved ones, family gatherings, music, dancing, horse races and the simple moments that make life valuable.

His laughter, his presence and his joyful spirit left a deep mark on everyone around him.

Genaro is survived by his beloved wife, Judith Padilla; his children Oscar Padilla, Alondra Padilla and Blanca Padilla; as well as his grandchildren Ian, Iker, Emma, Alec and Anderr; relatives, and friends who will always remember him with love and gratitude.

Although his passing leaves a deep void in the hearts of his family, it also leaves a legacy of love, strength and joy that will continue to live on in every memory, every shared story and every lesson he left to those who loved him.

The Padilla family sincerely appreciates the expressions of sympathy, the prayers and the support during this difficult time.
