Abraham Quintanilla Jr. has spent life since his daughter Selena Quintanilla's death celebrating her through the support of projects like the 1997 film Selena and greeting fans at The Selena Museum, run by Q Productions, the family's company. "When Selena passed away, I told my family that I was going to try to keep her memory alive through her music," Abraham told People in 2020. "25 years later I think we, as a family, accomplished that."

Sometimes honoring Selena's memory means going to battle, even against her widower Chris Pérez. Abraham filed a lawsuit in 2016 to prevent Pérez from developing a TV series based on his book, To Selena, With Love. Pérez told Billboard that his former father-in-law supported the book. Caller-Times reported that the lawsuit was dismissed in 2019. 

In September of 2019, Abraham spoke against a Telemundo documentary by Maria Celeste Arrarás called El Secreto de Selena. In a post on Q Productions' Facebook page (translated from Spanish), Abraham said the documentary is full of "falsehoods." "She invents a romance that never existed and gives importance to the killer, instead of seeking details with family and close friends," Abraham wrote. "Selena was happy and not suffering, as [a] false journalist claims." Abraham said his grief will never fade. "There is no day when my wife Marcella and I don't shed a tear, because the pain of losing Selena is a constant pain..." That's why he still fights these battles.
