Roel M�Rquez

Roel Jos Mrquez, 49, of Odessa, passed away Saturday, March 16, 2013 in Dallas, Texas.

Most faithful God, lively is the courage of those who hope in You. Your servant Roel suffered greatly, but placed his trust in Your mercy. Confident that the petition of those who mourn pierces the clouds and finds an answer, we beg You, give rest to Roel. Do not remember his sins, but look upon his sufferings and grant him refreshment, light and peace. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Roel Jos Mrquez came to this Earth on August 10, 1963 to Moises T. Mrquez and Augustina V. Mrquez in Artesia, NM. He grew up in Odessa, TX and is an alumni of Odessa High School Class of 1981. He joined Crescent Park Baptist Church at the age of 18. In 1986, he moved to Dallas, TX to pursue his interest in ministry. He attended and worked at Prestonwood Baptist church until moving back to Odessa in 2006 to be closer to his family. Once back in Odessa, he devoted much of his time to studying the Bible and worshipping at Mission Dorado Baptist Church. He is known for his willingness to share his love of God, as well as his extraordinary culinary talent. This love was exhibited in his recent decision to continue his studies at Criswell College in Dallas, TX.
