Donaldo Valdez Obituary
(November 27, 1944 - March 6, 2026)
Donaldo Arturo Valdez, or "Art" as many knew him, passed away unexpectedly on March 6, 2026. He leaves behind many family and friends who mourn his departure but take comfort in the knowledge, courage, and love with which he entrusted them. Our memory of Art will remain in the people and places he knew, through the stories he shared and all that he built. He was an ingenious man of humor, generous spirit, and strong opinions, a work of art in more ways than one!
Art will be laid to rest at the National Cemetery in Santa Fe on April 2 at 12:30 p.m. All those who wish to celebrate his life are welcome to join us. For the full obituary, visit https://www.crematesimply.com
