Abraham Quintanilla Jr., the father of the beloved singer Selena, has died at the age of 86. Over the years, Abraham was instrumental in keeping his daughters legacy alive, navigating both personal and public challenges.
He initially opposed Selenas romantic relationship with her guitarist Chris Prez but eventually came to accept their love. The two experienced a public falling out in 2016 regarding a television project Chris wanted to create about Selena, though they reconciled five years later.
Abraham most recently appeared in the Netflix documentary Selena y Los Dinos, released in November, sharing insights about Selenas life and enduring influence. His presence in popular culture also includes being portrayed by Edward James Olmos in the 1997 biopic Selena and by Ricardo Chavira in the TV series Selena: The Series, which aired for two seasons from 2020 to 2021.
