David Calvillo Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Riverside Funeral Home - Albuquerque on Sep. 10, 2025.
Today we remember David Calvillo- a man with a quick wit, a big heart, and an unwavering love for his family. If you knew David, you knew his smart-aleck humor could make you laugh even in the toughest moments. He loved deeply, especially his wife Kathy, who was the love of his life and with whom he now reunites. David had a creative spirit, often putting pencil to paper to bring his drawings to life. And if there was one thing he was just as passionate about as his family, it was his beloved Dodgers - win or lose, he was always in their corner.

David leaves behind a legacy of laughter, love, and loyalty. We'll miss his jokes, his sketches, and the way he lit up when talking about when talking about the people and things he cherished most. Rest easy, Dad - give Mom a hug for us, and save us a seat for the next Dodgers game in the sky.
