Juan C. Baca Sr., age 86, passed away surrounded by his family after waiting 16 long years to join his beloved wife in Heaven.
Juan was an active, instrumental and respected resident of Casa Colorada from his birth on January 27, 1928 until his death on Wednesday, April 23, 2014.
Juan attended school at the Casa Colorada School House. Juan worked tireless to get the school house restored and an addition built so there would be a kitchen and bathrooms. The Casa Colorada Community Center was something he knew the community needed for events. Juan was also a lifelong member of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Casa Colorada and Tomé. When the original church fell he helped build the current church. Juan cared for the church his whole life and maintained the cemetery cutting the weeds with a shovel and hoe until it got to be to much for an aging man.
Juan proudly retired from the Santa Fé Railroad in 1988 after 38 years of outstanding service. Juan loved his family and friends. Juan enjoyed dancing, telling the history of Casa Colorada and cheering against the Dallas Cowboys.
Juan was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 48 years, Elena Torres Baca, children, Bernice and Luciano Baca, parents, Ramón and Dolores Serna Baca, father and mother-in-law, Escolastico and Noberta Lovato Torres, daughters-in-law, Christine and Shirley and son-in-law, Larry Lucero.
