Silvestre Canseco

Pastor Silvestre Franco Canseco, 77 years of age, from Toppenish, passed away on May 25, 2020 in Spokane WA.   Pastor Canseco aired every Sunday at Radio KDNA for many years on his program, Tiempos de Fe y Oracion. He also aired on a TV Program with Canticos de Alabansa with a great friend of his, Juan Garza. Pastor Canseco also setup a food bank in Granger known as El Pan de Cada Dia. Pastor Canseco was always on call to anyone who needed him, whether it be for a prayer over the phone, at home, or at times in the hospital and nursing home.   Pastor Canseco was one of a kind. Before he became a Pastor he was a leader and a guidance to others. In 1992, his ministry began at home with his wife and children, where he invited others to attend services at their home, soon after he was asked by friends and family members to bring the services to their homes. Pastor Canseco continue to go wherever doors opened to bring the word of our Lord Savior. As more families asked for services, Pastor Canseco was asked, “Why don’t we find a place where we can all worship together and you become our Pastor?”; which lead Pastor Canseco and others looking for a home where they can worship together. Pastor Canseco was able to get ahold of a location to hold services in the basement in the Radio KDNA building, eventually the group grew very fast making them realize that were in need of a bigger space. Radio KDNA was able to help with one of their building that was shaped as a barn, that’s when Silvestre Franco Canseco became a Pastor and named the 1st church Iglesia del Dios Vivo (Church of the Living God) in Granger Washington in 1993. Pastor Canseco was one leader that taught many other members to become leaders whom many now are Pastors of their own church. Pastor Canseco was a founder of a second Iglesia Del Dios Vivo in Toppenish as of May of 2000, the planning of the 20th anniversary was set to be May 23 2020. Unfortunately, the service had to be canceled due to the Pandemic, not only was it cancelled but our Good Lord called his warrior home.   Grandchildren, Jessica Canseco, Santiago Canseco, Rafael Vicente Canseco Jr. Jessie Canseco, Sylvia Martinez, Vanessa Anne Canseco, Jesenia Canseco, Ricardo Mendoza Jr, Daniel Jr Canseco, Estevan Canseco, Geovana Alicia Bernal Ferguson, Eliseo Samuel Bernal, Sergio Martinez 3rd, Mari Elena Canseco,  Jennifer Canseco, Miguel Angel Mendoza, Anna Mireya Canseco, Neyva Canseco, Karina Martinez,  Sylvestre Canseco Jr, Emmanuel Mendoza, Paula Leticia Canseco, Diana Canseco, Sergio Reynoso Canseco Jr, Paula Estela Reynoso Canseco, and Aliyah Isabella Canseco.   Great-Grandchild, Issac Cruzito Morales, Jennavicia P Canseco, Arisa Sophia Mutuberria, Amaya E Saucedo, Enzo M Saucedo, Marcos J De Lamora, Aviana M De La Mora, Genesis Alexandria Canseco, Estevan Alexander Canseco,  Aaron Emmanuel Canseco, Nicholas Castiel Canseco, Alice Canseco, Reggie Lamont Jackson 3rd, Sebastian Jayce Martinez, Kaleb Alijah Martinez, Angelina Michelle Mendoza, Ricardo Mendoza3rd, Selena Isabella Canseco.     Pastor Franco Canseco, left us to go be with his creator and to the love of his life Paula Mena Canseco.   Silvestre Franco Canseco is survived by Francisca Canseco 90yrs of age oldes sister, children, Jesus & Reyna Canseco, Rafael Vicente & Leova Canseco, Juan Carlos & Leticia Canseco, Daniel & Janie Canseco, Bertha Canseco & Sergio Martinez, Maria Isabel & Gilbert Bernal, Angelica Maria Canseco, Mayte Lucecita & Sergio Reynoso, Sylvestre Franco Canseco, Franco Jr Canseco.      Silvestre Franco Canseco is preceded in death by Loving wife Paula Mena Canseco.  Father Jesus Canseco, Mother Celsa Barroso, and Son Marcelito Canseco.   Viewing is on Friday May 29th, 2020 from 6-8 at Valley Hills Funeral Home in Zillah.   Funeral services will be a Drive In Viewing Saturday May 30, 2020 at 941 W Wapato Rd from 10am-12pm. Monday, June 1, 2020 Immediate family will say their final goodbyes at Pastor Canseco’s home Church Iglesia Del Dios Vivo in Toppenish WA at 10AM.
