March 31st, 1963 - April 14th, 2024
Felix Aaron Abeyta, 61, died on April 14th, 2024 in Pueblo, Colorado.
He was born on March 31st, 1963, to Samuel Abeyta and Josephine Martinez in Del Norte, Colorado.
Felix worked in counseling, youth services, and education all his life; it was a life dedicated to service to others. In these pursuits, Felix sought ways to improve the communities that existed around him, focusing on supporting the youth and those in need. He was a man always on the move, allowing him to extend his reach and love of community and faith.
Felix was known for a love of his faith, his friends, and his family. In these things he found the connections and relationships that fueled him and gave him purpose. His faith was the foremost piece of his life and he loved to explore the churches across Colorado and New Mexico. These travels meant that his network of friends continued to grow, and he worked relentlessly to maintain them. If you asked these friends, they would tell you that they felt like they were family.
Felix’s family was his pride and joy. His brothers, sisters, cousins, and especially his children would bring a smile to his face at the mention of their names. He had a large family of 12 brothers and sisters and extended family that were all very close. His home in Colorado Springs served as sanctuary and has been a part of his family for the past 50 years since it was purchased by his mother. This home is where he raised his three children following his service in the US Air Force. His children Felix, Aaron, and Noel were the highlights of his life and watching their lives and families grow was a constant source of joy.
Felix was preceded in death by his mother, Jospehine M. Martinez (Arelleno); his father, Samuel H. Abeyta; sister Gloria Martinez; and brother Jimmy Abeyta.
He is survived by his sons, Felix Abeyta II (wife Zantia and children Dylan, Tillman and Charlotte) and Aaron Abeyta (wife Holly and daughter Juniper); daughter Noel Abeyta Schmitz (husband Cullen). Felix will be missed by his brothers Roger Martinez, Isidore Martinez, David Martinez, Bobby Abeyta, Rudy Abeyta, and Keith Abeyta; and beloved sisters Bernabe Estrada, Gregorita Thompson, Paula Abeyta, and Carol Abeyta.
