He worked at several different agricultural jobs throughout his lifetime. In 1980 he met Ruth Montano and they were later married. They shared 2 daughters Trina and Amy. Together they had one son, Travis, who was his best friend later in life. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and working outdoors. He was always doing something in the yard or tinkering in the garage. He liked to host BBQs in his back yard and loved seeing his grandchildren running around having fun. Even though he was gruff and tough the grandkids always got their way with him. He had such a soft spot for them. Every year he would go back and visit his family in Mexico, he loved having money in his wallet and dressing up in a nice cowboy hat and boots when he went out. He valued hard work which was a belief he instilled in his kids. Abelino is survived by his wife Ruth, son Travis and daughters Trina (Chad) Jarvis, Amy (Chet) Rasmussen, his sister Lola Gonzalez, 3 grandchildren – Tyler, Alyssa and CJ and one great grandchild, Oaklynn.
