Bencomo -- Perhaps you brought or served food. Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words as any one could say, perhaps you were not there at all, just thought or prayed for us that day. Whatever the part the Lord had you play to console our hearts, we thank you so much, and may He bless each one of you. The family of Augustine Acosta (Ben) Bencomo.

Eaves -- J.W. Eaves, prominent and well-known owner of the J.W. Eaves Movie Ranch, died on August 8, 2001, in Albuquerque after a valiant struggle against lung cancer. One of six children, Eaves was born April 7, 1916 in Groveton, TX, to William Roscoe and Bertie Christie Eaves. Named for the heavy-weight boxer, Jesse Willard, Eaves preferred to be called by his initials. He was a direct descendent of Captain Jon Eves, who arrived in Lyn Haven, upon the Chesapeian Shore of the Virginia Colony, around 1632. Eaves was preceded in death by his wife of 63 years, Ermalea Julia Eaves in 1998; his sisters, Lora and Marjorie; and his brother, Joe. Eaves began working as a teenager in the famous East Texas oil field at Kilgore, TX, in 1935, where he attended Kilgore High School and met and married his wife, Ermalea Julia Kendrick. During World War II, they lived in Grayville, IL, were Eaves managed the R.L. Jeffries Trucking Company and oversaw the operation of oil field trucks in southern Illinois and Indiana. In 1948, J.W. and Ermalea moved to Hobbs, NM, where along with his brother, Harry, he founded and owned Jeffries-Eaves Trucking Company, an oil field and heavy hauling company. In 1955, the Eaves family moved to Albuquerque to open a new office for the rapidly growing company. Eventually, Jeffries-Eaves operated 150 trucks in 22 states and had offices in Hobbs, Albuquerque, and Farmington. In Albuquerque, Eaves was a charter member of the Albuquerque Petroleum Club and was a member of the Albuquerque Country Club. He was a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason and a Shriner. In 1958, Eaves bought "Rancho Alegre" south of Santa Fe. Beginning in the early 1960s many television and motion picture productions as well as commercials were filmed at the ranch, and Eaves began to play an influential role in establishing the movie industry in New Mexico. The first production at the ranch was the CBS television series "Empire" starring Richard Egan and Terry Moore. Movies that followed were "Red Sky at Morning" starring Richard Thomas, "Where Angels Go Trouble Follows" and its sequel, "The Trouble with Angels" starring Robert Taylor, Rosalind Russell, Van Johnson, and Stella Stevens. In 1969, in collaboration with dancer-director, Gene Kelly, Eaves built the western movie town for the filming of "The Cheyenne Social Club," which starred Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda. Since then, the western town has been the location for more than 40 feature-length movies in the Santa Fe area, including "Lonesome Dove" starring Robert Duvall, "The Gunfight" with Kirk Douglas and Johnny Cash, "Wyatt Earp" with Kevin Costner and "The Cowboys" starring John Wayne. In recent years, the J.W. Eaves Movie Ranch has been the wild west venue for many large corporate parties, fund-raisers such as the Buckaroo Ball, private parties, weddings, and political events. In the early 1970s, J.W. Eaves was one of the original founders and the President of Santa Fe Downs Race Track. He also founded and owned the Rancho Alegre residential subdivision in Santa Fe County. He was a former Grand Marshall of the Rodeo de Santa Fe Parade. Eaves served as Chairman of the Lea County Democratic Party and as a member of the New Mexico State Police Commission. He remained an avid supporter of Democratic candidates (and occasionally a Republican) throughout his life and counted among his friends Senators Dennis Chavez, Joe Montoya and Jeff Bingaman; Governors John Burroughs, John Simms, Jack Campbell, Bruce King and David Cargo; and Congressmen Tom Morris, Johnny Walker, Bill Richardson and Tom Udall. Former State Senator, Lt. Governor and Chief Justice of the New Mexico Supreme Court Mack Easley and his wife, Loyce, have been special lifelong friends since his early days in Hobbs. J.W. Eaves's "larger than life" personality will be greatly missed by his loving family. He was especially blessed with the love and companionship of his lady, Pamela Vanway, in the last two and a half years of his life. He is survived by and much loved by his son, Mel Eaves and wife Mary Ann of Albuquerque; grandson, Craig Eaves also of Albuquerque; granddaughter, Jessica Eaves of Seattle, WA; great-grandson and namesake, Jesse Kendrick Eaves of Albuquerque. Mr. Eaves is also survived by his daughter, Patricia Eaves and her two children, Megan and Julialea of Santa Fe. Other survivors include brother Harry and wife, Babe of Midland, TX; sister Maureen Laroe of Groveton, TX, and many beloved nieces and nephews. Eaves will be buried next to his wife at the Rosario Cemetery in Santa Fe at a private Graveside Service. Pallbearers will be Craig Eaves, Raymond Eaves, Harry Eaves, Mack Easley, Bruce Gerry, John Greer and Al Cantu. Honorary Pallbearer will be Pamela Vanway.

Gabaldon -- In Loving Memory of Marcus G. Gabaldon December 8, 1971 - August 11, 2000The Lord sent you to us for just a short stay. He used you as a messenger to show us the way. You strengthened our love and understanding, when times were hard. We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left perfect and precious memories, your love is still our guide. And though we can not see you, You're always at our side.
