Oscar A. Jimenez, 64, left this world in his own SUPERMAN fashion on Monday, June 17, 2019. He was a native Odessan who grew up and settled here with his family. He graduated from Ector High School in 1973.
He only had two (2) jobs his whole life. His first job was at the Village Supermarket and his second one was at SEWELL FORD where he made his life long career which he dedicated 46 years to. He began working at Sewell as a student at Ector while enrolled in auto mechanics. He currently worked for Mr. Colin Sewell and had previously worked for his parents as well as his grandparents when he originally started.
He loved playing softball and played many years with Los Chicanos, Odessa Nosotros, and Houston Copeland to name a few. He enjoyed being around his family, especially all the kids.
He was Superman to his family and coworkers, Dad, Big Oscar, and Papaw. He married his high school sweetheart, Velma Hinojos, and had been together 46 years. Together they had and raised three (3) children; Christina (Damaris) Taylor, Oscar Jimenez, Jr., Corina (Phillip) Lopez. Three (3) grandchildren; Caylea (Matthew) Aranda, Darian (Leeann) Taylor, and Cambree Faith Lopez; Four (4) great-grandchildren; Rylan, Bowen, Watson and Aidan.
