Victor dedicated his life to serving others, allowing his own journey to become a ministry of hope and encouragement. He founded Victor’s Journey, a faith‑based outreach created to support individuals facing addiction and those walking the path of recovery. He also founded Ready Now Recovery. He dreamed of establishing sober living homes and was passionate about teaching “Be Free” and “Breakthrough” classes. His love for Scripture was evident in the many Bible verses he committed to memory.

Victor developed a strong work ethic early in life, beginning his career in auto body work as a young man. He carried that same dedication into his years in construction and the oil field, where he was known for his reliability and determination.

He also pursued martial arts at 5eighty Grappling in Weatherford, training in Jiujitsu with the same focus he brought to every part of his life. He had earned his Blue Belt — a testament to his discipline, perseverance, and commitment to personal growth.

He was survived by his daughter, Izabella Selene Mendoza; son, Urijah Ramon Mendoza; his parents, Ramon and Charlene Mendoza, of Thomas, OK; brother, Robert Lime and wife Vivian of Clinton, OK, Travis Mendoza; sister Mary Burns and husband William Burns of Clinton, OK and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles and friends.

He is preceded in death by his brother, Jesse Mendoza; maternal grandparents, Robert and LaVerne Lime; paternal grandparents, Gonzalo and Petra Mendoza.
