Mementos

Our dad, Jimmy R. Aragon left us to be with our Lord and Savior on Friday, June 20, 2025. He was so loved by many, and always surrounded by his loving family. Jimmy is survived by five children, Thomas Aragon, Jimmy Aragon and partner Jerry Roybal, George Aragon and partner Emily Montaño, Darlene and husband Gabriel Sandoval and Danny Aragon. He has six grandchildren, Martin and Angelina Sandoval, Olivia Whitezell, Daniel Aragon, Melinda Aragon and Kimberlee Olivas. Jimmy was also blessed to have 19 great-grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren. 

 

Jimmy served as Hermano mayor at la Morada de San Francisco for many years. He was a great mentor, leading the Hermanos with great devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ and San Francisco de Asis. He was admired and will always be remembered for his strong, beautiful praying and singing voice.

 

Jimmy was preceded in death by his loving wife, Laura Aragon, parents Santiago and Lucianita Aragon, sisters Deolinda Leyba, JoAnn Ortiz and Pita Rivera, and Rev. Ramon Aragon, of the family home.

 

Through the years, Jimmy served proudly in the U.S. Marine Corps, along with many other occupations, to include: a bus driver, Kaiser factory worker, janitor at the Santa Fe State Capitol, an airplane builder at Douglas Aircraft Company, a hyster operator, forestry worker, drywaller, and cabinet and casket maker.  He also worked at Dixon’s Apple Orchard, with his dad as a home builder, and with the Dulley’s, excavating uranium.

 

Jimmy ended his long list of jobs as the business owner of a gas station and tire shop named "Uncle Jimmy’s” by his friends and customers.

 

While Jimmy was still in good health, he enjoyed playing the accordion, guitar, violin, keyboard and singing. He liked going to the casino, going for short rides around town, and spending time with family and friends.

 

Jimmy leaves behind so many beautiful memories. He is loved and will be greatly missed.

 

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Cathy Montoya, who helped care for our dad during his illness, and for being a good friend to him for many years.

 

Pallbearers: Martin Sandoval, Martin Sandoval Jr., Joseph Cano, Daniel Aragon, Alex Flores, John Montoya Jr., Danny Aragon, Brandon Aragon and Michael Aragon
