We just recently heard of your loss and wanted to express our love and condolences to the entire family. I am Roberto (Bobby) Cortez, hijo de Gregorio y Olga Rendon Cortez. I and my brothers Rene and Daniel Cortez met with Zenon a few years back in Laredo (I leave in Houston and Daniel leaves in Chicago) and we got together with Rene in Laredo. My brother Daniel was gathering family data to attempt to put a family branch book together. He was working on our Moms Rendon side of the family branch when Zenons name came up. You see, Zenon was a boxing legend in our family conversations and we were always so proud to bring up his name. I just wanted to share this story with you all, for you see, while we might have loss him physically his legend will always live on to be shared with our kids and grand kids. God Bless you all.
Our condolences to the family we are sorry for your loss. I am a relative from the Panfila Rendon Lerma side. God Bless the family. Will keep you in our prayers. May he rest in Eternal Peace.
MY deepest condolences for the Rendon family. Zenon and I became friends while attending Lamar Jr. in the middle 50s. He was a nice classmate and friend. He will be missed.
I first met Zenon at Lamar Jr. High in the 50s. I will always remember him as a nice person and a friend. I offer my deepest and sincere condolences to the Rendon family.
My condolences goes out to the family of Zenon Rendon's family. I was saddened to hear that Zenon has recently passed away. My prayers go out to his family. Que Dios lo tenga en pas.. My apologies for not being able to be there,but i just received the sad news a few minutes ago.
MI MAS SENTIDO PESAME PARA LA FAMILIA RENDON POR LA PERDIDA DE UN GRAN SEÑOR (DON ZENON) TUBE LA DICHA DE CONOCERLO UN GRAN VECINO NO LO OLVIDARE NUNCA LO LLEBARE SIEMPRE EN MI CORAZON.
Zenon “El Maz” Rendon Written by Danny Rendon Cortez July 28, 2011 I heard about him when I was young. He was a boxer whose time had come. He carried “el mazo” in his fist. So many names on his knock out list. Five Golden Gloves titles is his claim to fame. Zenon “El Maz” Rendon is his name. He’s a legend in his hometown. He’d knock you out whether you were Black or Brown. 100 victories and only 15 defeats. Most of his opponents swept off their feet. I heard about him when I was young. He’d come at you when the bell rung. Inducted into the World Pugilist Hall of Fame. Zenon “El Maz” Rendon is his name. Inside the ring, he did reign. The world of boxing was his game. Rest in Peace, campeón.
Yolanda, My deepest heartfelt condolences to you and your whole family
