Pray for Hector
On Sunday, August 2, 2026, Lake Whitney Ranch Director Hector Perez started feeling unwell, so Mario Escobar, Lake Whitney Ranch Plant Services manager, took him to the Clifton hospital. There, Hector was diagnosed with a heart attack and subsequently transferred by ambulance to the hospital in Waco.
On Monday, August 3, 2026, doctors initially planned to insert a stent but discovered that Hector had significant blockage in his arteries. As a result, he is now scheduled for open-heart surgery later this week in Austin.
Texas Conference President Ismael A. Castillo, along with Executive Secretary David Runnels, Treasurer Randy Terry and Hillel Martin, pastor of the Waco and Killeen Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church, met with Hector and his wife, Anabel, Lake Whitney Ranch manager. They gathered to sing, pray, and anoint Hector before his transfer to Austin later today.
We invite you to join us in praying for Hector, his family, and the hospital staff caring for him. The family appreciates all your prayers for Hector and welcomes any messages you would like to share. You can add them to the comments on the Lake Whitney Ranch Facebook or Instagram social channels or email [email protected].
