Felix Aaron Abeyta

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.

What was Felix's favorite joke?

Felix used to say, “I have the body of a god… it just happens to be Buddha.” As it was, Felix appreciated good food and made a mean ceviche! When our kids were little he used to tell them, “you know you’re a weird little kid but I kinda like you,” and that was where his heart really shone. Felix was a rock star at making you feel special because he saw the beauty in every person he met. In one conversation he could pinpoint the unique qualities in a person and I never watched him have a conversation with someone that didn’t include pointing out and praising them for these qualities. Felix knew how to lift people up and his career working with youth was grounded in a faith that taught him each soul is unique and worthy of love without exception. The last phone conversation with Felix was a couple weeks ago when we were talking about the theory of soul contracts and how we come into each other’s lives to play specific spiritual roles. Felix, you played the role of friend for sure - to the kids you will always be Uncle Felix who showed up for each of them in different ways - but to us you will always be El Gato, Brother, definitely the Best Man and certainly best friend. May God find you waiting with the unending Faith you’ve always had and reward you with everlasting joy and peace. Drop your bags. Your journey is finished, Bro. We’ll see you on the flip side waiting with that grin. With all our love, Jerry & Robin and the changos

What lesson(s) did Felix teach you?

Felix taught all of us to love. He taught all of us to laugh and to never sweat the small things. Felix faith brought us all closer as friends as no matter what Felix never ever missed a good time but no matter how late no matter how far Felix always made it to church. , Felix was full of love. He was joy he was full of strength full of encouragement full of faith but most of all Felix was a friend and a true friend at that. Felix was a mighty soldier of God and continued to walk this world helping anybody and everybody Felix I can’t have an express , all the love that we have for you, your friends your family And just knowing we’re not going to see you again in this temporary world, just tears us all to pieces. But we will know that you will be waiting for each and every single one of us when our number is called in the meantime, know that we love you we’re going to miss you dearly and there could never and will never be another Felix. I love you, Hermano! love, Donna.

Eva Martinez

Our family met Felix and the Martinez/Abeyta family when they were young children. Felix and David were friends with my 2 youngest brothers. Our family home was around the corner from Felix and his family. The kids were in and out of our house as Felix, his brothers and my brothers were growing up. His Mother, God bless her soul, raised this family with strong Catholic values and it was not unusual to see the whole family at St. Mary's Cathedral or Sacred Heart Church. Felix and his family were raised with strong Faith. I'm sure the Lord will be greeting him as he finishes his walk over the Rainbow Bridge. He lived a life of service to others and his community. May he rest in Peace and may Eternal Light Shine Upon Felix. My condolences to his children, his brothers and sisters and his many friends. RIP. Blessings, Eva Martinez
