It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved Austin T. Apodaca, age 22. A 2023 graduate of Robertson High School, Austin was known for his big personality and many lifelong friends. In April 2024, he proudly joined the New Mexico Department of Transportation District 4, a career he truly loved and excelled at.

Austin was passionate about life's adventures, especially bull riding and snowboarding. He cherished every moment spent with family and friends, finding his greatest joy in their company. He is survived by his mother, Antonette; sister, Alexis; brother, Aaron; grandparents, Evaristo and Rebecca; uncles Eric, Everet, and John; aunt Camille; and a large extended family of cousins.

Serving as urn-bearers are Ivan Pino Jr., Evan Pino, Clyde Sanchez Jr., Adam Martinez, and Patrick Chavez. Honorary urn-bearers include Aaron Apodaca, Eric Apodaca, and Evaristo Apodaca. Austin's spirit will continue to shine brightly in the lives of all who knew him. He will be deeply missed but lovingly remembered.

Cremation has taken place and A Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, March 27th, at 2:00 PM at Immaculate Conception Church. Burial will follow at Mount Calvary Cemetery.
