Miguel Baldearena

Born in McAllen, Miguel lived a life defined by dedication, hard work, and strength. After proudly serving in the United States Navy and being stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, he went on to build a successful career in banking. He spent many years as a branch manager and Vice President for Bank of America before retiring from Security Service Federal Credit Union, where he worked in the training department and was known for mentoring others with patience and care.

Miguel had a deep love for the Washington Redskins aka Washington Commanders and an enthusiasm for racing and cherished watching NASCAR and going to Vegas to watch the Super Bowl with his brother Harvey — a tradition that brought him great joy and lasting memories. His favorite band was Chicago and loved to see them live with his daughter, Caroline.

He will be remembered by his children, Heather Brame, Parker Lacombe, and Caroline Baldearena; and by his grandchildren, Helena Gonzalez, Olive Lacombe, Gemma Martinez, and Casey Martinez. He is also survived by his brother, Harvey Baldearena, and sisters, Corina Baldearena and Stephanie Narvaiz.
