He was preceded in death by his parents, Espiridion and Julianita Bachicha; his in-laws, Agapito and Juanita Cordova. He is also reunited with other dear loved ones who passed before him.

His presence will be missed, but the legacy of his devotion and sacrifice will live on in each of them. Pallbearers will be his beloved grandchildren, Quinn Bachicha, Cash Bachicha, Rocky Trujillo and Roxy Trujillo. Honorary pallbearers are Luis Bachicha, Lupe Lopez, David Sanchez and David Spiers.
