Francisco “Paco” Corona, 52 of Idabel, passed away July 20, 2024 at Idabel, Oklahoma. He was
born September 27, 1971 in Yuriria Guanjuato, Mexico.
He enjoyed eating out with his family and traveling with his sons to go to work. In his free time,
all he ever wanted to do was spend time with his kids and grandkids. He brought the craziness,
excitement and joy to any room. He has overcome many triumphs and kept himself strong to the
end. Anyone who ever had even five minutes with him could tell you he was one of a kind. He
always made sure to leave quite an impression on everyone. Whether he was telling you how it
was or making you laugh with his many jokes, he always had his own special way of showing he
cared. As hard as he was, he was always willing to give you the shirt off his back.
