BALTAZAR FLORES, 94, of Las Cruces, New Mexico, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 29, 2026, surrounded by his family.

He was born December 10, 1931, in Laborcita de San Javier, Chihuahua, Mexico, to Diego and Angela Flores. Baltazar dedicated many years of his life to working at Stahmann Farms, where he served as both a welder and a machine shop foreman.

Baltazar was deeply devoted to his Christian faith and to his beloved wife, Delia Flores, who preceded him in death in 2002. His faith, strong work ethic, and unwavering love for his family were the foundation of his life.

He is survived by his five daughters: Becky Bradshaw (Ralph), Gloria Evans, Liz Gonzales, Nemie Roberts, and Lettie Medina (Jaime); 11 grandchildren; and 19 great-grandchildren. Baltazar was the last surviving member of his family of nine siblings.
