Other survivors include Son, Porfirio (Jesse) Aguilar, Jr. (Francesca), Son, Felix Michael Aguilar (Samantha), and Daughter, Jennifer Marie Aguilar Moore (Draven).  Pilo and Oralia were best friends, husband and wife, and each other's favorite people for the last 45 years.

Pilo worked for Henry Griffin Construction for 25 years, and he worked for Whataburger as a Manager in the Corpus Christi area and the rest in Ingram and Kerrville, where he later retired.

His hobbies included cooking, gardening, and hunting. His passion was listening to God's word and worship songs daily. He taught his grandchildren that one's journey in life is first to give your heart to God and care for your family, and everything else will prosper. That is how he lived his life. Pilo was a member of The Salvation Army Church, here in Kerrville. 

Memorial contributions are to be made, in lieu of flowers, to the Salvation Army Pantry and Boys and Girls Club to which he was an avid Volunteer.

Porfirio’s family would like to extend their thanks to Embrace Hospice and nurse Janette Muecke for her tender, professional care.
