John Starbuck, Aztec, NM—The close-knit community of Aztec, NM, is mourning the unexpected passing of John Starbuck, who passed away earlier this week. John leaves behind his wife, Patricia, and their three young children under the age of 18. A devoted father and husband, John worked hard alongside Patricia to raise their family, which included six children.
The news has left Patricia and her family facing a heavy emotional and financial burden. A fundraiser, organized by Celsey Kerr, has been established to help cover the expenses related to John’s cremation and memorial services, as well as to support Patricia and her children during this difficult time. As of now, the fundraiser has raised $445 out of a $10,000 goal, thanks to donations from five generous contributors.
Celsey Kerr, who is leading the effort, shared her heartbreak in a Facebook post: “This one hits so close to home. It breaks my heart for my dear friend and her children. RIP John Starbuck. Please also lift her and the children up in prayers and support.”
The outpouring of love and condolences on social media has been immense. Rae Monique Lucero expressed her sorrow, saying, “I’m so sorry Patty Starbuck.” Tasheene Blueeyes also offered prayers for comfort, commenting, “Praying for comfort for you all.” Another heartfelt message came from Vanessa Perez, who wrote, “My deepest condolences to you and your family. My heart goes out to you, and may the Lord be with you and your family.”
Cheryl Dale, a friend of the family, mentioned, “If you would like to leave a donation jar at Dino’s, as he was one of my favorite customers,” remembering John’s sense of humor that she will deeply miss.
The love and support from the community have been overwhelming, but there is still a long way to go in helping Patricia and her children cope with the financial challenges they now face.
We extend our deepest sympathies to Patricia and the entire Starbuck family during this incredibly difficult time. May John’s memory live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Starbuck family, and we encourage anyone who can to donate to the fundraiser and help provide Patricia and her children the support they need.
