Baltazar Luján, un amado esposo, padre y abuelo, falleció pacíficamente el 31 de agosto de 2025 en Midland, Texas. Nació el 5 de mayo de 1971 en Chihuahua, México, y a lo largo de su vida brindó alegría y risas a quienes lo rodeaban. Dedicado mecánico de profesión, Baltazar era reconocido por su integridad y habilidad, ganándose el respeto tanto de sus colegas como de sus clientes. Baltazar tenía una increíble capacidad para conectar con las personas a través de su humor. Era un verdadero bromista, siempre dispuesto a hacer cualquier cosa para sacar una sonrisa. Su personalidad contagiosa lo convirtió en un amigo muy querido, con un talento especial para alegrar los días de quienes lo conocían. Ya fuera viendo televisión, disfrutando unas cervezas o pasando tiempo al aire libre —acampando y pescando—, vivía la vida con entusiasmo y un sincero amor por la aventura. Sentía un cariño especial por la música, y disfrutaba de sus viajes ocasionales a Las Vegas, donde la emoción de los casinos encendía su espíritu. Pero, por encima de todo, los mayores logros de Baltazar fueron sus hijas y nietos, quienes eran la luz de su vida. Ellos le brindaban una alegría infinita, y atesoraba cada momento compartido con ellos, creando recuerdos que perdurarán para siempre. Baltazar deja en vida a su amada esposa, Miroslava Barraza, y a sus hijas Estela Luján, Stacy Gamez, Karen Luján, Diana Ávalos, Gisselle Barraza, cada una llevando un pedacito de su corazón. También será extrañado por su querida perrita Bella, quien le brindó compañía y consuelo durante los años. La familia invita a todos los que conocieron y amaron a Baltazar a acompañarlos en una velación en Harkey Funeral Home, ubicada en 210 S Allen Ave, Monahans, TX 79756, el día 8 de septiembre de 2025, de 12:00 PM a 8:00 PM. La Misa de cuerpo presente se llevará a cabo en su memoria en la Iglesia Católica San Juan Evangelista, ubicada en 500 S Ike Ave, Monahans, TX 79756, el día 9 de septiembre de 2025 a las 10:00 AM. Las risas y el amor de Baltazar serán profundamente extrañados. La familia pide amablemente que, en caso de enviar flores, se prefieran en colores rojo y blanco.
