A Shining Light was extinguished on Tues. Jan. 11, 2011. Tito was born on Jan. 19, 1941 in Lockhart, Tx to Tomas G and Rebecca V. Moreno.

In addition, he is survived by his mother Rebecca, brothers Tommy (Terry) and family, Thad (Anna) and family, sisters Adela Jeanne Carrizales and family, and Debbie Hill and family and countless nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his father Tomas; grandparents Andres and Adela Moreno and Josefa and Refugio Villalobos. Tito served his country in the U.S. Navy and was given a Presidential Citation for his rescue work during the earthquake in Kodiak, Alaska. He was a graduate of the first class of Highlands H.S. and received a B.A. in music from Trinity University. He spent many years as a musician, writer and arranger of shows and song. Later in his career, he devoted his talents to working with the elderly and disabled. The family would like to thank his brother Thad for being his devoted caregiver throughout his illness sitting with him many hours in the hospital and at home. Additionally, we thank the family of Pride Health Services for their love and support during these past years and Odyssey Hospice for making his final days more comfortable. His accomplishments are too numerous to mention. Instead, we invite you to join us on Sat., Jan. 22 at 11:00 am for a memorial celebration at 8231 Callaghan Rd. In lieu of flowers, a scholarship has been established to provide an annual scholarship to a student going into the field of health.

Tito was the first "musical director" I worked with. He brought zest and life to the show and to everything he did. All this and a wonderful musician. Thanks Tito, you made my entry into the musical world of theatre a lot of fun. We all will miss you and that great smile of yours.

I knew Tito during my time as a Trinity music student in the late 60's. Not only was he a terrific musician, patient advisor to us younger students, and a steadying force to at least one freshman, but he was oh so cool. Man, was he cool. Sadly I did not stay in touch with him while I moved about my life but I am so sorry to learn of his passing. My thoughts are with his family and friends.
