Frank Saiz, 73, a resident of Las Vegas, N.M., passed away on Friday, May 14, 2021.
He was born in Chaperito, N.M. on June 4, 1947 to Manuel and Sofia Jaramillo Saiz.
Frank had a great sense of humor and always made everyone laugh.
He loved being outdoors and loved the ranch life and was a ranch hand at Conchas Ranch and other ranches during his younger days. He was always dressed neatly in his cowboy attire and always made sure his cars were nice and clean.
Frank held many different jobs over his lifetime, but one of his best and most rewarding jobs was being a school bus driver for both East and West Las Vegas School Districts. His love for the children he bused to and from school was unmeasurable. He eventually retired from the West Las Vegas Schools.
Frank loved to dance, listening to old country and New Mexico Spanish Music. He loved spending time with family and friends, telling stories and talking about the good old days. He loved watching old western movies. Frank loved spending time with and spoiling his two dogs Foxy and Lobo. Ironically Foxy passed away the day after Frank.
He made many close and dear friends throughout his lifetime. He went to school for trucking and roofing and had many handyman skills that he used to help do many small and large projects for family and friends. He was a lifelong catholic and a member of Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Las Vegas.
