Obituary for Victor Unzueta Muñoz

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Victor Unzueta Muñoz, who left this world at the age of 78. Born into a humble life, Victor began working in the fields as a child, cultivating not only crops but also a deep-rooted work ethic that would define his life. At 18, he proudly served in the military in Mexico, a testament to his unwavering commitment to his country and family. Shortly after marrying the love of his life, Ninfa Delgado, he moved to Mexico City, and then, in pursuit of a brighter future, he courageously migrated to the United States with his four beloved children: Pedro, Luisa, Pilar, and Violeta.

Victor was a devoted husband and father, whose greatest joy came from putting the needs of others before his own. The loss of his father at just six years old instilled in him a profound sense of responsibility. From that young age, he worked tirelessly to support his family, demonstrating an unwavering dedication to those he loved. Throughout his life, he held various jobs—welding, carpentry, and beyond—but his heart truly thrived in the fields, where he found both solace and purpose.

In his later years, Victor found immense joy in the simple pleasures of life. He poured his love into his home garden, nurturing each plant with care and patience. His personal workshop in Albuquerque, NM, became a sanctuary for his creativity, where he crafted pieces that reflected his skilled hands and loving spirit. The fruits of his labor were often shared with family and friends, embodying his generous nature and the warmth of his heart.

A gifted storyteller, Victor captivated everyone around him with tales of resilience, family bonds, and the lessons life taught him. The love and humor he shared and the kindness he extended will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Victor leaves behind his beloved wife, Ninfa; his cherished children Elizabeth, Pedro, Luisa, Pilar, Violeta, and his late son Victor Jr.; and his adoring grandchildren Andrea, Anthony, Jovanny, Yazmine, Ramiro, Sebastian Jr., Gizelle, Lauren, Julinne, Jonathan, Joseph, Matthew, Joshua, and Jacob. He is also survived by his precious great-grandchildren Christopher, Dalylah, Herbert III, Natalie, Isabella Nicolette, Isabella Grace, Michael, Ritchie, Roberto, Roman, Adeline, Luciano, Audrey, Sofia, Anthony Manuel, Aaron, Caleb, Everlee, Ezequiel, Josiah, and Anthony Jr., along with countless family members and friends who will forever hold his memory in their hearts.

Victor's life was a beautiful testament to the power of love, sacrifice, and the pursuit of a better future. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of all who loved him.

Rest in peace, dear Victor. Your legacy of love and compassion will be cherished forever.

“And now these remain: Faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

--1 Corinthians 13:13

Obituario de Victor Unzueta Muñoz

Es con profundo pesar que anunciamos el fallecimiento de Victor Unzueta Muñoz, quien dejó este mundo a la edad de 78 años. Nacido en una vida humilde, Victor comenzó a trabajar en los campos desde niño, cultivando no sólo cosechas, sino también una ética de trabajo profundamente arraigada que definiría su vida. A los 18 años, sirvió con orgullo en el ejército en México, un testimonio de su inquebrantable compromiso con su país y su familia. Poco después de casarse con el amor de su vida, Ninfa Delgado, se mudó a la Ciudad de México y, en busca de un futuro más brillante, emigró valientemente a los Estados Unidos con sus cuatro amados hijos: Pedro, Luisa, Pilar y Violeta.

Victor fue un esposo y padre devoto, cuya mayor alegría provenía de anteponer las necesidades de los demás a las suyas. La pérdida de su padre a la edad de sólo seis años le inculcó un profundo sentido de responsabilidad. Desde esa joven edad, trabajó incansablemente para apoyar a su familia, demostrando una dedicación inquebrantable hacia aquellos a quienes amaba. A lo largo de su vida, desarrolló varias profesiones—soldador, carpintero y más—pero su corazón realmente prosperó en el campo, donde encontró tanto consuelo como propósito.

En sus últimos años, Victor encontró una inmensa alegría en los placeres simples de la vida. Volcó su amor pequeño jardín en casa, cuidando cada planta con esmero y paciencia. Su taller personal en Albuquerque, NM, se convirtió en un santuario para su creatividad, donde elaboraba piezas que reflejaban sus hábiles manos y su espíritu amoroso. Los frutos de su trabajo a menudo eran compartidos con familiares y amigos, encarnando su naturaleza generosa y la calidez de su corazón.

Un narrador talentoso, Victor cautivó a todos a su alrededor con relatos de resiliencia, lazos familiares y las lecciones que la vida le enseñó. El amor y el humor que compartió, así como la bondad que extendió, seguirán inspirando a todos los que tuvieron el privilegio de conocerlo.

Victor deja atrás a su amada esposa, Ninfa; sus queridos hijos Elizabeth, Pedro, Luisa, Pilar, Violeta y su difunto hijo Victor Jr.; y a sus adorados nietos Andrea, Anthony, Jovanny, Yazmine, Ramiro, Sebastian Jr., Gizelle, Lauren, Julinne, Jonathan, Joseph, Matthew, Joshua y Jacob. También le sobreviven sus preciosos bisnietos Christopher, Dalylah, Herbert III, Natalie, Isabella Nicolette, Isabella Grace, Michael, Ritchie, Roberto, Roman, Adeline, Luciano, Audrey, Sofia, Anthony Manuel, Aaron, Caleb, Everlee, Ezequiel, Josiah y Anthony Jr., junto con innumerables familiares y amigos que siempre llevarán su memoria en sus corazones.

La vida de Victor fue un hermoso testimonio del poder del amor, el sacrificio y la búsqueda de un futuro mejor. Aunque ya no está con nosotros, su espíritu seguirá viviendo en los corazones de todos los que lo amaron.

Descansa en paz, querido Victor. Tu legado de amor y compasión será atesorado para siempre.

"Y ahora permanecen la fe, la esperanza y el amor. Pero el mayor de estos es el amor." --1 Corintios 13:13
