Baltazar De La Rosa

It is with a heavy heart that the De La Rosa family regrets to announce the passing of our beloved father, Baltazar De La Rosa, 79 years, after a brief illness. He passed away peacefully. Balta was a retired grocery clerk of 36 years from Furr's Supermarket. Baltazar De La Rosa will be remembered by those that knew him as a loving man that went out of his way to help others. Balta had a strong personality, dry sense of humor, a warm heart, and his generous spirit will be dearly missed.

Balta is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Maria Socorro (Padilla) De La Rosa; his daughters Sylvia (Scott) Graves and spouse, Magdalena (Andy Sanchez) Martinez; grandchildren Scott W. (Kristine) Graves II and Rhynne N. (Jamie) Graves, Kristin S. Martinez, Desiree N. Martinez; great grandchildren Earl G. Graves, Allie G. Graves, Wakefield R. Graves, and Alexiana Jae Loya, and Jayce K Loya.
