Even with the transplant, the new liver he received would eventually become infected. And with the antirejection medications associated with the transplants, he would have trouble with his blood sugar as well. And all that happening with him being fairly old.

Fender had battled Hepatitis C in his later years. Fender underwent a kidney transplant in 2002, with an organ donated by his daughter Marla Huerta GarcÃa, and a liver transplant in 2004.
Nonetheless, his condition continued to worsen. He was suffering from an "incurable cancer" in which he had tumors on his lungs. He cancelled all his upcoming performances and had resumed chemotherapy.
He died on October 14, 2006 of lung cancer at his home in Corpus Christi, Texas with his family at his bedside.
