Rafael Bustamante Jr.

Ralph (Rafael) Bustamante Jr. (65), went to be with his maker and rest on January 28, 2022. On November 26, 1956 Ralph was born in Big Spring, TX. He grew up in Midland, TX and attended Midland ISD. Ralph was an adventurous man at a young age and lived with impact. Whether it was good or bad, he made sure he was living life to the fullest. Regardless of his hard exterior, he was a softy at heart. This is why many people loved him. He had plenty of “brothers from another mother”. (Smile). He had many interests but his favorite was estate and yard sales. He always found items that would be useful at some point. He was right, and now we will all treasure those findings. (smile). God gave Ralph a life full of adventure, time with those that meant the most to him, and doing things he enjoyed, but it was time to rest. We thank God for giving us all the memories shared with Ralph. He will be forever missed.
He is survived by his long time companion, Jaunita Bustamante, Austin TX, Mother (his true love) Anita Bustamante, Midland TX. Brothers, George (Janet) Bustamante, Lakeland FL, Ray (BFF) (Linda) Bustamante, Austin TX. Sister, Rebecca (James) Villanueva, Big Spring, TX. 7 Nephews, 9 Niece’s, 10 great-nephews and 13 great-nieces. Also survived by the many friends that he considered family.
He is preceded in death by Father Rafael Bustamante Sr., brother Sammie Bustamante SR. and sister Rosella Drapiza.
Our family would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Austin Hospice, Dana Muse-Raynoso and Amelia Franks for their support and kindness. Also to our “brother from another mother” Wilfred Dalcour (Tight White) for being there for us and especially for our brother.
