Domingo “Mingo” Pulido, 67, of McAllen, Texas, passed away on October 1, 2026.

Born on April 10, 1959, in McAllen, Texas, Mingo was a lifelong South Texas man who cherished his family, his home, and the simple things that made life meaningful. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, listening to music, dancing, and sharing a good story or conversation with those around him. He also had a special appreciation for Westerns and the cowboy way of life.

Mingo was a devoted husband and father. He married Elvira Pulido (Serrano), on February 4, 1984, in Mission, and together they shared more than 42 years of marriage and raised their family. He worked as an electrician for nearly 45 years in general contracting and handywork, including 10 years with McAllen ISD.

He is survived by his loving wife; his children, Erika Naumann (Charles), Alejandro Pulido, and Anna Pulido (Matthew Alvarez); and his extended family, Maria, Teresa, and Baldemar.

Mingo was preceded in death by his parents, Domitila and Jose Pulido, as well as his older siblings Guadalupe, Raul, Joe, and Alfonso.

He will be remembered for the love he gave his family, the friendships he made, and the many memories he leaves behind. His life touched those around him in ways that will continue to be cherished for years to come.

Visitation will be held Thursday, October 8, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 pm at Brown Family Funeral Home, located at 701 E Expressway 83 Mission, TX 78572, with a prayer service at 7:00 p.m.

Visitation will continue Friday, October 9, 2026, beginning at 9:00 a.m., followed by burial at 11:00 a.m. at Valley Memorial Gardens Cemetery.

Mingo leaves behind more than dates and milestones: it's countless little moments that will bring a smile long after the tears have passed. May Mingo rest peacefully and remain forever in the hearts of those who loved him.
