Randall Valdés Obituary
He joins his mother Margaret E. Valdés in heaven.
He precedes and lights the way for his wife Cindy and his cherished and adored children Marley and Avery.
He is also survived by his father William J Valdés and his wife Adriana, sister Yvonne, mother-in-law Yolanda, sister-in-law Susan and her husband Preston, brother-in-law Larry, step-brothers and sisters Virginia, Karine and Adrian, and nephews Shaun and Jonathan, Charles and Sebastian, and Darion and Zion.
Born in Santa Fe, New Mexico on March 15, 1972, he graduated from St. Michaels High School in 1990 where he made life-time friendships and excelled in football and basketball.
While attending New Mexico State University where he received a Bachelors degree in Journalism, he met his love and wife Cindy of 20 years. They made Albuquerque their home and attended Copper Pointe Church.
Later he found his calling as a teacher and received his Masters in Elementary Education at the University of New Mexico. He has the love and reverence of many teachers, parents, and children from Comanche Elementary as well as Double Eagle Elementary where he taught 5th grade. His ability to instill character will be deeply missed by many. He was currently coaching basketball and building young men at DATA Charter School and has coached his beloved son, Avery since Avery was able to lift a basketball.
Beyond all of that his greatest joy came from honoring and serving his wife and children with a love that transcends time. He is among God's Elite! He will be our blessing and treasure forever. His name is loved.

My brother, I'm going to miss you greatly. So many memories over more than three decades.
I am humbled to have had you in my life and am comforted in knowing that you were among loved ones when you were called home.
I am most thankful that two old friends could share our love for one another one final time.
Cindy and the kids are in my thoughts and prayers and I will always be there for them.

Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there,I
do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamonds glint on
snow. Do not stand at my
grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die!
