David Aragon

January 30, 1956- November 4, 2025

It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of David Aragon on November 4. 2025, age 69, a resident of Los Lunas, New Mexico. He passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by loved ones after years of strength & surviving prolonged illnesses. He was born in Lordsburg, New Mexico to Betty Garza and Gilbert Aragon. David grew up in the South Valley of Albuquerque, NM and he attended Rio Grande High School.

David was a proud Veteran and joined the Army at the age of 18. He married his wife Debra Aragon in 1993 with 32 years of marriage. They raised their daughter Donna Aragon. He lived in Lindrith, New Mexico for many years and later moved to Los Lunas, New Mexico.

David was a proud man of God. He loved spending quality time with family and teaching his granddaughters. He enjoyed car shows, fast cars, mechanics, welding, and carpentry. David loved to drive fast & go off roading. He used to say, “the new saying for ‘drive it like you stole it,’ is ‘drive it like you bought it’.” He loved to joke and make people laugh. He enjoyed his coffee, watching the trees move with the wind, and smoking a cigarette on a crisp morning.

David was dedicated, determined, and worked hard his whole life. He accomplished many trades throughout his life. Such as, butcher, ranch manager, construction foreman, railroad worker, operated heavy machinery, and a “hot-rod mechanic (as he would say). David advocated for those struggling with addiction and inspired others to maintain their sobriety. He helped when one was in need, guided others to learn from his mistakes, and did not believe in judging others.

David was caring, loving, kind, funny, graceful, and humble. He was intelligent, creative, innovative, and could fix literally, anything! David sacrificed for his family with no hesitation. He valued relationships, loyalty, and respect. He gave his life, his strength and anything he had into being the best man, husband, father, and grandfather. David was honored to be a beloved son, uncle, brother, and friend. David Aragon lived a long a graceful life and will be, sincerely.

David Aragon was survived by his wife Debra Aragon, his daughter Donna Aragon (Joaquin), granddaughters Aaryce Houston, Azaylia Aragon, and Essynce Houston. His daughter Kristen (Paul), grandchildren Paul Jr., Andi.

He is also survived by his mother Betty, his sisters Diane (Joe), Shirley (Phil), Norma Knox; His brothers Jesse, Adam (Belma), Henry (Laura), Steve (Laura), amongst several loved ones, nephews, nieces, and friends.

David is surrounded by many angels, preceded in death by his father Gilbert, brothers Clifford, Patrick, his sisters Evelyn, nephew Adrian, in-laws Patrick, Olivama, Manuel, Baby Roger, Felix, granddaughter’s dad Larado, as well as many cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, and other family members. Please try to find peace in knowing David is no longer in pain and is resting in peace. He is waiting patiently for his loved ones beside Our Angels & Our Lord.

Goodbye, For Now, I Love You I yearned for you to be strong and healthy I asked The Lord, please let him stay So, we can laugh and talk, like we did the other day The angels flew near your side Gathered so close to you For they knew what you were going through The worry, the fear, the clouded thoughts There our hands held so tight I saw your eyes looking for light Jesus reaching down, offering his hand For then I knew it was time Time to let go; you attained the climb Through faith, we left it in God’s hands Although Jesus knew I needed you I saw Heaven as your view Until we meet again I will know you are always with me Peace, love, and grace is yet to be Goodbye, for now, I love you
