Heartbreaking he was a faithful Man of God. He will be truly missed. Prayers for the entire Family
He was a gentle, giving and loving soul. It was a privilege to know such an individaul and for a short time work with him. May he rest in peace, we’ll see you when it our time to meet again.
Preston was a long time family friend. Having grown up as one of his neighbors near the intersection of Old Port Isabel Road and Coffee Port Road (802). Cant say it was the best of times or worst of times as growing up happens, but the best of times will always be remembered. I know Art J, Michal Y. and Neal S. will be accompanying him to his destination.

Our sincerest condolences to the Vidos family. I have fond memories of working with Preston at his father’s business at the shrimp basin years ago. May he rest in eternal peace. — Diana and Gary Bryant
Condolences to the family, friends, Church Family and the many organizations he participated in. May many be blest as a result of this one beautiful example of a Christ-like-life! He will be missed. May his legacy live on.
I sure will miss the sound of his laugh, Rest In Peace brother.
A truly great man.
What a great man. Preston was a man God used to touch the lives of others. He had genuine care for the people he worked with in Love Brownsville. I saw how his life turned around when he gave his life to Christ. It was great to see him come to church because he was a real worshipper. He wanted to sit on the front row with Marie, ready to worship and serve the Lord. He brought his family to church.
We watched him serve a family with lots of kids, even taking them on trips and vacations. He and Marie rebuilt the auditorium of Good Neighbor Settlement House so that the kids there could have a Vacation Bible School. They were the first ones to start a weekly dinner at Good Neighbor. They built a great team of 40 people. They hosted health fairs, Christmas giveaways, school supplies giveaways, and Christmas shows at public schools.
Preston was a great example of what God can do through a man with a changed heart! Libby and I will miss him!
Paul,
Our hearts and prayers go out to you, Elida and your entire family. May God’s precious love surround all of you in this difficult time.
You got your wings buddy! Try and stay out of trouble until we get there. Luv u
