Augustin "Gus" Canas

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of our beloved, Augustin “Gus” Canas, age 61. He was born on March 5, 1964, in Mathis, Texas to Ramiro Sr. and Rachel Canas.

Gus was the life of any and every party. He loved to sing and dance and the Chicago Bears. He was always hard at work, always lent a helping hand to anyone in need and loved his family and friends tremendously. Gus took great pride in being a father and grandfather, he was proud of his sons and grandchildren. Gus was a stranger to none; He was loved by many and will be missed dearly.
