David Chacon

Biography


David M. Chacon, 65, left Taos, N.M. on April 17, 2013 with a smile on his face. His normal every day hustle-and-bustle non-stop energizer bunny life came to what he would have considered an inconvenient end. David had the pleasure and honor of being continuously escorted in life and death by his fire department family.

In an unending show of support and the impact Chacs had on his community, his life will be celebrated by family and friends and will be surrounded in his burial in spirit by his wife, Sophia and his grandparents Amada and Epimenio Chacon and in-laws, Jose and Maria Fernandez (who all predeceased him) and by his children, Michelle, David [Tina], Marie and Francisco, his grandchildren, Christina and Valentino and the twins, Mikayla and Nickolas. Also, joining the celebration of Davids life were his siblings and their families including Mante [Gloria] Chacon, Barbara [Sonny] Pacheco, Robert Chacon, Phillip Valdez and the entire community of relatives and friends.

David would have everyone know that you will now have to find a new source for your Rocky Ford Cantaloupes and other produce, beans, chili and furniture needs. In the end, David lived life to its fullest and on a day-to-day basis exemplified by example, that we can leave the world a better place than we found it.

Rosary was recited on Sunday, April 21, 2013. Funeral mass was held on Monday, April 22, 2013. Both services were held at San Francisco de Asis Catholic Church.

El primo David era Buena gente. Every time you saw him he always had a smile on his face and was genuinely happy to see you. He made you happy! I'd see him at TSV, at the Pit and finally last Saturday @ the TSV party in Des Montes. I'll miss him.

Jennifer Hallstrom published a tribute .

David was such a bright spot in my family's life here in Taos. He rototilled the garden every year and checked on my grandma, Doris Brink and mom, Eleanor Hallstrom all the time. I have known you all my life and am grateful and honored to have known your kind, generous and helpful spirit. I am sure you have already hugged my mom and grandma in heaven. I am also honored to have graduated NMHU with Michele and I now work with her. I have always known you to be a good father, loving husband and dedicated community member. I will remember you always and will miss your bolitas and cantaloupe. Rest in peace.

Dave, Michelle, Frances, Marie and Entire Chacon Family....
It is with a heavy heart that I express to you my sincere condolences on such a wonderful man. He was such a treasure to our community and always had a smile and a good word for everyone. I will never ever forget the memories of grandpa taking me to Chacon's after school or the Bazaar's we all had so much fun doing. He will be greatly missed and I can only imagine the joy he and your mom are sharing together again. May you find peace and guidance in the Dear Lord through this difficult time and always. With all of my love.
