Natasha Baca Obituary
Natasha Adrianna Baca, born December 13, 1997, in Fort Collins, Colorado, passed away unexpectedly on January 20, 2026, at the age of 28.
Natasha's laughter lit up so many lives. She had a way of filling a room with warmth, humor, and presence-something that will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Her life, though far too short, left a lasting mark on countless hearts.
She is survived by her parents, Mark and Maria Baca; her siblings, Veronica (Jesse Urquiza), Tressa, and Mark Baca; her loving boyfriend Nick Riggs, her dear friend Mitchell Springer; her grandparents, Rudy and Bonnie Baca; her two nieces, Jazlyn and Naielli; and her nephew, Christian, all of Fort Collins, Colorado. She is also lovingly remembered by many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Natasha was preceded in death by her grandparents,Theresa Jimenez Hense, Tim and Trish Hense, and her great-grandparents, Ben and Mary Jimenez.
The family will be holding a viewing on Tuesday, January 27th. Please come as you are-no formal attire necessary.
A Celebration of Life will be held in the coming months, when the weather warms, to honor Natasha's vibrant spirit. Details will be shared with friends and family closer to that time.
We still hear your laughter. Rest easy, beautiful soul.
