Our beloved patriarch went to meet our Lord and Savior surrounded by loved ones after a lengthy battle with his health. Pablo was born to Aurora Gonzales and Raphael Montalvo, in Uvalde Texas and moved to Cordova New Mexico in 1963 when he wed the love of his life Fedelina Martinez, together they raised 5 boys. Pablo attended TV repair school and opened a repair shop in their garage and managed to build a home around the repair shop. He was also employed doing highway construction and eventually hired on with Los Alamos County where he retired after 17 years.

Pablo and Fedelina were inseparable; he cherished family moments such as traveling to visit relatives, attending sporting events to proudly watch his grandchildren, and mountain outings. He enjoyed watching his favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys, telenovelas, nightly news, and going to the casino.

Pablo is preceded in death by his parents Aurora and Raphael Montalvo, sisters Aurorita, and Janet. Daughter in-laws Meier Lugo, Maryrose Montalvo, and grandson's Christopher and Aiden Montalvo.

He is survived by his wife Fedelina, sons Gustavo, Jerry (Geraldine), Robert Lugo, Micheal and Joel (Desiree) Montalvo, sister Debbie Sundheim, 12 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren and 5 great-great-grandchildren.
