It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rosario Pacheco, who passed away on February 19, 2025, at the age of 67. Rosario was born on May 11, 1957, in Chihuahua, Mexico, to his parents, Isauro Pacheco and Belém Mireles. He was the eldest of seven siblings and a dedicated family man who carried the weight of responsibility with grace and love.

Rosario married Rosa Maria Torres in 1982, and together they built a beautiful life, raising four children—Edgar, Rigo, Karen, and Alex. He cherished his role as a father and grandfather, and his love for his family was boundless. Rosario was deeply committed to his community, a devoted and faithful man who attended his local Catholic churches, offering his time and spirit to those around him.

In 2020, Rosario was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Despite a long and challenging battle, he remained strong, courageous, and deeply rooted in his faith. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of his family.

Rosario is survived by his beloved wife, Rosa Maria Torres; his children, Edgar, Rigo, Karen, and Alex; his grandchildren; and his siblings.

Rosario was a man of warmth, laughter, and unwavering love. He touched the lives of everyone who knew him with his kind heart, infectious smile, and devotion to his family and community. As we say goodbye to Rosario, we celebrate the life of a happy, caring, and lively man whose legacy will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him.

Please join us as we gather to remember and honor Rosario's life and the love he shared with us.
