He was born on August 5, 1937, in the beautiful mountains of Tinnie, New Mexico. He served in

Construction with whom he retired from. He had his CDL permit and drove long-haul diesel

trucks.

In 1961, he married his wife, Tibursia E. Rascon, with whom he shared over 60 years of

marriage.

He was an avid fisherman and bow hunter who loved the outdoors. In his spare time, he

enjoyed gardening; anything he planted thrived. He was also an avid woodworker who was fond

of making special pieces for his family.

He is preceded in death by his father, Senon Rascon, and his mother, Enriqueta Gomez, as well

Rascon, and Marcela Renteria & David Renteria, five grandchildren, and three greatgrandchildren.

One of his favorite sayings during the last decade was, “Whatever you do, don’t get old!”
