He was born Jan. 20, 1923, at Troy, Texas to Juan and Virginia (Lopez) Rios. 
Julian was always a hard-working man and followed the sugar beet and cotton
harvest all over the United States.  It was while he was working in Michigan
that he met and fell in love with Consuelo E. Escobar.  The couple was married
in May of 1947, in Snyder, Texas.  Fourteen children were blessed to this
marriage; Janie, Paul, Raymond, Joe, Linda, Lupe, Irene, Jesse, Mercy,
Margarita, Julian, Jr., Maria, Fred and Gabriel. 

Julian and Consuelo put down roots in Lexington in 1965. When they first moved
to Lexington, Julian worked for Kirkpatrick Sand and Gravel and then worked as a
plumber for Jones Plumbing for years and later went out on his own.  He not only
did plumbing, but he was a very capable contractor and could fix anything that
was broken.  He also interpreted for the Dawson County Sheriff’s Department and
the Lexington Police Department and was always willing to help where needed. 

He loved being with his large family, especially teasing the grandkids, he
taught his sons to play baseball and worked as an umpire for years.  You would
always find him rooting on his favorite baseball team, the Atlanta Braves, or
his favorite football team, the Texas Longhorns and cheering for any team that
was playing the Huskers.  He also enjoyed playing the accordion and singing for
the grandkids.  There will be a great void left in this large family with
Julian’s passing. 

Survivors include his wife, Consuelo Rios of Lexington; seven sons,  Paul (Mary
Ann) Rios of Prague, Raymond (Adella) Rios of Wahoo, Joe (Herminia) Rios of
Kearney, Jesse (Karla) Rios of Gothenburg, Julian, Jr. Rios of Fremont, Fred
(Michelle) Rios of Ft. Collins, Colo., and Gabriel (Dawn) Rios of Lexington;
seven daughters,  Janie Alvarado of Wisconsin; Linda Reyes of Concordia, Kan.,
Lupe (Don) Jones of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., Irene (Richard) Kacprzicki of
Pensacola, Fla., Mercy (Refugio) Bueno of Lexington, Margarita (Larry) Cain of
Texarkana, Texas and Maria Rios of Ft. Collins, Colo.; 30 grandchildren, many
great and great-great-grandchildren, as well as many nieces, nephews, other
relatives and many friends. 

Julian was preceded in death by his parents; two infant sons; four brothers; six
sisters; four grandsons; one granddaughter and one great-grandson.

Reynolds-Love Funeral Home in Lexington is in charge of arrangements.
