Jose Raul

Noriega Duran

Jose "Raul" Noriega Duran of Wichita Falls passed away peacefully on Tuesday, July 5th 2022.

He was born in Ojo Caliente Chihuahua, Mexico on March 26th 1932. In 1958 he married the love of his life, Maria Lydia Zambrano. In 1973, he left everything familiar in Mexico to come to the United States seeking a better life for his family. He was a hard worker and instilled that trait in all his children. Raul enjoyed trips to the casino, where somehow he managed to always come home a winner. He also loved watching old western movies.

He was preceded in death by his beautiful wife Lydia, and his beloved daughter Arling.

He is survived by his brothers Jesus Noriega, Jose Noriega, his sister Leticia Noriega, and his sons Raul Noriega and wife Marybeth of Joshua, TX, Jose Noriega and wife Alicia of Wichita Falls, TX, and Ramiro Noriega and wife Melissa of Denton, TX; beloved grandchildren Kayla, Robert, Gilbert, Daniel, Lisa and Ayden and multiple nieces and nephews.

His only wish was to be reunited with those that had passed before him, and we can only imagine the smiles happening above us.
