Gregorio “Goyo” Moreno passed away peacefully at his home in Floresville, Texas, on July 9, 2026, at the age of 78. He was born on November 6, 1947, in Papantla, Veracruz, Mexico, to Leodegario and Eleodora Moreno.

Gregorio made his home in Floresville for many years. He was well known for his love of gardening. As a nurseryman, he spent his life helping countless people grow flowers, trees, and gardens they could enjoy for years to come. He took great pride in caring for his own plants and found happiness in watching things grow. Through his kindness, hard word, and love of gardening, Gregorio made the world a lovelier place, one plant at a time.

Gregorio also had a special love for animals, especially his chickens and roosters. He took great pride in his home, where he enjoyed hosting family gatherings. Gregorio was known to welcome everyone with delicious food, laughter, and warm hospitality. He loved traveling, especially returning to his hometown in Mexico to visit family. Above all else, nothing brought him greater happiness than spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They were the pride and joy of his life. If Gregorio was not gardening, traveling, or spending time with family, you could find him at the casinos.

He is also survived by his children, Gregorio Moreno Jr., Nadia Garcia (Robert), Joshua Moreno, Armando Moreno (Megan), Eleodora Bates (Shelby B.), and Gabriella Upchurch (Neil).
