John Pelayo Obituary
A memorial service will be this Saturday, January 19, 2019 at 2 o'clock in the afternoon at Baca's Funeral Chapel with Justin Pelayo officiating. As was his request, cremation has taken place.
John was born April 17, 1948 in Deming to Lee and Thelma Pelayo. John's career began as a Border Patrol agent stationed in Eagle Pass, Texas. His father took ill and John moved back to Deming to return to the farm. Soon after he had left his own mark on the farming community. After years at farming he returned to school in Las Cruces to begin a new career as a Wastewater Treatment Plant operator for the City of Las Cruces and ultimately retired as the Special Projects Coordinator. Soon after he returned home to Deming.
He is survived by his mother, Thelma Pelayo; his sister Lona and his brother Ron; children, Justin (Traci), Cole (Eric Hartman), Patrick, Harley (Derek Cirko), Bethany (Robert Bak); grandchildren, Noah, Audrey, Jacob and Emily.
Not only did he sew the seeds to many crops, he sewed the seeds to a family legacy to come.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
