Abraham was married to Marcella Quintanilla, and they shared three children together, including A.B., Suzette Quintanilla and Selena.

The Dreaming of You singer was tragically killed by her former fan club president, Yolanda Saldívar, in March 1995, when she was just 23 years old.

Selena and her band, Selena y Los Dinos, were managed by Abraham, where A.B. played the bass, Suzette performed the drums and Selena's husband, Chris Pérez, was the guitarist.
