Noe Jose Zamarripa, born Aug. 3, 1961, in McAllen, Texas, embarked on his earthly journey with a spirit that embodied laughter and love. He departed this world on Oct. 22, 2025, leaving behind a legacy woven with humor, adventure, and cherished moments.
A retired oilfield worker, Noe dedicated many years to his career with Cameron, where he was well respected for his hard work and commitment. Beyond the rigors of labor, it was the warmth of family that illuminated his life. A devoted father and grandfather, he reveled in the joy of his sons, Jonathan Zamarripa and wife, Amanda; Keith Zamarripa and wife, Dezerae; and Emilio Zamarripa, along with Presley Zamarripa. The love Noe had for his family was unmatched, as he consistently prioritized their well-being and happiness above all else.
The sparkle in his eyes was brightest when he was surrounded by his 11 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. His love was not confined to familial bonds; it extended to splendid moments spent together under the open sky. Noe found his solace in fishing, often sharing tales and laughter with his loved ones as they cast their lines into the water.
An enthusiast of history and the cosmos, Noe was a wellspring of knowledge, imparting lessons about the galaxy to his grandkids and igniting their curiosity about the wonders of the universe. Sports filled his heart with joy, especially cheering on his beloved Houston teams. Through the highs and lows of every game, Noe’s loyalty never wavered.
His infectious sense of humor was a hallmark of his character. Loved for his playful spirit, Noe had a unique talent for creating laughter, often with endearing jokes that brought smiles to those around him.
Noe was preceded in death by his parents and a beloved daughter. He is survived by his siblings, David Zamarripa and wife, Kristi; Robert Zamarripa; and sisters Norma, Nora, and Nelda, who will forever hold onto the love they shared and honor the zest for life Noe embodied.
A visitation in remembrance of Noe will be held Monday, Oct. 27, 2025, from 5 to 6 p.m., followed by a celebration of life from 6 to 7 p.m., at Faith & Family Funeral Services, 40847 Texas 105, Batson, Texas. Friends and family are invited to gather and share the stories, laughter, and love that Noe so passionately spread during his time with us.
As we bid farewell to a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend, we celebrate a life lived with great humor, infectious laughter, and an abiding love for family and nature—a life that left an indelible mark upon the hearts of all who had the privilege to know Noe Jose Zamarripa.
