Celestino Horton Baca, Roswell, NM— It is with heavy hearts that we report the peaceful passing of Celestino Horton Baca on October 3, 2024. Known affectionately by many as "Uncle Tino Baca," his absence has left a profound emptiness in the lives of his family and friends. The loss has deeply affected those who knew him, as they remember him for his wisdom, strength, and the love he gave to all.
A GoFundMe campaign has been created by Penny Baca to assist with funeral expenses, and in just a short time, kind donations have been received from loved ones, including Bobbylee Watson ($100), John Stone ($150), and April Baca-Salas ($150). The community has already begun to rally around the family in support, with warm messages pouring in from those who were touched by Celestino’s life.
On social media, his niece, Elizabeth Baca Stone, expressed her grief: "Will miss you forever…. Tell Nana I Love Her and Miss her everyday." Delia Casillas and Misty Dawn Rodriguez also extended their condolences, with Delia saying, “Sorry for your loss,” and Misty offering, “I’m so sorry for your loss.”
Celestino was not only a father but a guiding figure to many, as Elizabeth noted in one heartfelt comment, “He was like a dad." His legacy of kindness, compassion, and family devotion will live on through the countless lives he touched.
As the family plans to celebrate his life, they invite friends and loved ones to come together in the coming days. In this difficult time, they take solace in the words of John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Baca family. May Celestino’s memory be a blessing, and may the family find peace and comfort during this time of loss.
