Manuel Maestas

In loving memory of Manuel Maestas, a man who lived a life defined by unwavering devotion to his family and a deep passion for the simple pleasures in life. Born on May 1, 1935, in San Luis, New Mexico, Manuel's journey came to a peaceful end at his Residence on July 25, 2024.

Manuel was known for his wisdom and his ability to offer sound advice, which he generously shared with all who sought his guidance. His warm presence and kind heart touched the lives of many, leaving behind a legacy of love and compassion.

A man of varied interests, Manuel found solace in the great outdoors, where he was an avid hunter and enjoyed fishing in the beautiful landscapes of New Mexico. But above all else, he cherished the moments spent with his beloved family, especially his grandkids.

He is reunited in eternal peace with his beloved wife, Fidelia Maestas. Manuel leaves behind a legacy of love through his surviving children: Richard Maestas and his wife Donna, Roger Maestas, Eloy Maestas and his wife Antinette, and Billy Maestas and his wife Angela.

His memory will be carried on by his eight grandchildren: Maria Romero, Julia Maestas, Jessica Davis, Samantha Garcia, Lawrence Apodaca, Alicia Maestas, Stephanie Maestas, and Daniel Crouse; as well as his eight great-grandchildren: Isaac Romero, Estevan Romero, Andres Romero Arianna Garcia, Alejandro Romero, Esteban Maestas, Santana Garcia and Alena Apodaca; and his great-great-grandchild Ava Martinez.

Manuel's gentle spirit and loving nature will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. May he rest in peace knowing that he was truly loved and that his legacy will live on through the generations.  Forever in our hearts.
