He is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Sandra "Sue" Marquez and children, Desi Marquez (Wife Kathy and grandchildren DJ and Christina); Jessie Marquez (Wife Jill and grandchildren Michael and Wyatt) and Sandi Hernandez (Husband Nacho and grandchildren Angel Calderon, Xavier and Stefani Hernandez). Mike has six great grandchildren and is survived by many brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews and their children and many, many friends.
Mike was born 6/22/36, at the family ranch in the Gonzales area of New Mexico, one of thirteen brothers and sisters. He worked hard all his life but always had time for his family and friends.
