THE BIBUL Born in Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico, being the seventh of eight siblings, son of Miguel Vazquez Fernandez and Margarita Rios Reyes. Throughout his childhood he was a child full of joy, dreams and goals to fulfill, characterizing himself for always being a very empathic, respectful, charismatic, responsible and hard-working person with a hunger for improvement. At age twelve, his brother Jose Luis nicknamed him "BIBUL" because he was a very restless and lively boy who transmitted an unparalleled energy. A nickname by which he was known all his life. He got his first car when he was 15 years old and since then his taste for Volkswagen vehicles is well known to the extent that his passion for this brand is tattooed on his skin. Bibul emigrated to the USA a year later, at the age of 16 due to his thirst for personal growth and goals to fulfill, since his desire to support his family and have a stable future with fulfilled goals was always present. Already established in the city of Delano, California. He worked in the fields doing various activities and in turn developed his ability as an automotive painter, a job that he knew and learned in Guadalajara since he was a child. From his first marriage to Maribel Vargas, he is survived by 4 children, Anthony, Jonathan, Mayte and Eduardo Vasquez. Bibul was always an image of joy, complicity and knowing how to enjoy life for his children, family and people in general with whom he surrounded himself. He liked to keep his family together and always be in front of them, doing and offering what was necessary to see them happy. His taste for cars grew day by day, until he achieved one of his greatest dreams, which was to have his laminate and paint shop, where considerably since its opening, his quality of life has improved in various personal aspects. Around the year 2011 he changed his place of residence to the city of Visalia California. Where he settled together with his family. This city offered him a great opportunity to improve his family and in his trade as a painter. He grew in a gratifying way. Whoever had the pleasure of accompanying him on Saturday and Sunday mornings was included in one of his customs that he enjoyed until the last few days, having a delicious Jalisco style dish for breakfast. He enjoyed traveling to his hometown where his family was waiting for him with open arms, always having days full of peace, joy, fun and family life. He was a man who liked to camp on the beach with a Corona beer in hand. He was known for being the life of the party and for being an excellent host at each of his parties and gatherings cooking and serving his guests. The funny phrase of "Better they would have stolen one of my children than my dog!" He could be heard saying in some of his meetings jokingly mentioning his great love for all animals, especially his pets, which were his greatest treasure at home and which he took care of like a his children. Live music, especially the band, was one of his favorites that he enjoyed until the last few days, he carried music inside him like a child. One of his greatest satisfactions was having friends and family at his table listening to a live band with any pretext of celebration. On April 28, 2019, he met Claudia Flores, who was his second wife, joining in marriage on November 3, 2020. From this union, his fifth child was born. A son named Axel Noe on March 13, 2021. Axel was one of the biggest dreams that BIBUL had, He always wanted a last son with whom he could share the joy of his days, this being his eternal weakness. In September 2020 he became a grandfather, one of his most cherished wishes. His granddaughters Sophie and Kataleya were without a doubt one of his greatest motivations to be well, adding an infinite wait to meet his third granddaughter who would soon be born in March 2023. His last trip was on September 4, 2022, he shared it with his wife Claudia and his son Axel in Pismo Beach, California. One of his favorite places where he loved taking his family. Bibul's last days were spent with his children and his wife surrounded by people who loved and appreciated him. Bibul leaves a huge mark on the hearts of all the people who shared moments of his life with a clear lesson to work tirelessly to enjoy life and share it with his loved ones.
