Arturo Vazquez

Arturo was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 63 years, Guadalupe Vazquez and by his first-born grandson, Gonzalo Davila. He is survived by his children, Silvia (Javier), Jorge (Deborah), Argelia, Irma (Raul), Edmundo (Maria Teresa) and Elva; grand-children, Veronica (Francisco), Maritza (Jason), Art, Alex (Katy), Ana Victoria (Manuel), Fernando (Diana), Stacie, Cynthia (Brent), Vanessa (Michael), Christie (Matt), Angelica (Jeremiah), Janeth and Tiffany, 23 beautiful great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild.

Arturo was one of eleven children born in Aguascalientes, Mexico on June 28, 1933 to Francisco Vazquez Jimenez and Marta Soria Martinez. He met the love of his life, Guadalupe in Mexico then followed her to the United States when she decided to emigrate. They dated briefly and married in Las Cruces, New Mexico on November 26, 1954. Together they created and raised a beautiful family. He raised his children and grandchildren to be strong, independent, generous and kind. Arturo had a passion for working with his hands, took pride in every single project and instilled in us all the importance of work ethic; “If you’re going to do something, do it right the first time”. His love never faltered and he selflessly gave of himself for the betterment of his family. He brightened our days with his special, silly nicknames, “Space monster, Hijo del Corn and Mex” and lifted our spirits with his make-believe stories of travel and adventure. “Güelo, jefe, el mas guapo, mi señor”, thank you for the countless blessings, for being our rock in times of trouble and for allowing your love to be the anchor of our ship. You’ll forever live in our hearts and memory.
