Gilferd "Poochie" J. Pacheco, age 79, surrounded by his loving family, entered the gates of Heaven on Wednesday, November 7, 2018.
Gilferd was born on September 5, 1939 to Juan B. Pacheco and Adela B. Pacheco in Albuquerque, NM.
On June 23, 1962 he was united in marriage to Lucy Sánchez.
Shortly after, in 1963, he enlisted in the United States Army and was deployed to Germany. There, they had their first son and were stationed for a little over a year before returning home to Albuquerque to raise their family.
Post-military, Gilferd worked for General Electric for 28 years before retiring in 1997.
After retiring, he was able to focus on caring for his rental houses, which he greatly enjoyed and has always kept a great rapport with his tenants.
Aside from their busy lives at home, Gilferd and Lucy frequented their lake house at Conchas, NM. Anyone who knew him could tell you how much pride he had in this house that he put countless hours of love and labor into. This was his sanctuary, his home away from home.
Gil was generous, loving, and kind to anyone he met. He deeply loved his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and had nicknames and funny quotes for all of them.
Gilferd is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Lucy Pacheco, children, Carl Pacheco (Jeannie), Joann Pacheco, Chris Pacheco (Erica) and Randy Pacheco (Denean), grandchildren, Jordan Pacheco (Elysha), Christianne and Giselle Santistevan, Paul and Dean Pacheco and Isabella Pacheco, great-grandchildren, Isaiah and Ayame Pacheco, brothers and sisters, Margie Tapia, Rosie Andrade, Gloria Lucero (Gene), George Pacheco (Pam), Lawrence Pacheco (Seda), Abel Pacheco (Anna), Dellie Ipiotis (Todd) and Anthony Pacheco and many nieces and nephews.
Gilferd was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Georgia Robles (Orlando), brothers, Albert Pacheco, Johnny Pacheco and Benny Pacheco and brothers-in-law, Frank Tapia and Eddie Andrade.
