Ronald (Ron) A. Mascarenas

Ronald (Ron) A. Mascarenas began his new journey with our heavenly Father on June 5, 2017 at the age of 66. He was a 1969 graduate of St. Michael’s High School and went on to DeVry University in Arizona. He later returned to N.M. and received his certification in Electronics. Ron worked for the NM Dept. of Transportation for a brief time. He then followed his dream and his father’s footsteps and went into the field of carpentry. He was a proud member of the Southwestern Regional Carpenters Union. He was known for his amazing ability to build beautiful furniture and there was never a woodworking project that he couldn’t master. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, playing poker with his family, and playing Scratchers. Ron had a heart of gold and his kindness always made a lasting impression on all who met and knew him. He will be forever in our hearts and greatly missed and loved.
