Obituary for MONTOYA


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Tuesday June 07, 2005

Mel E. Montoya raised out of the darkness of death into the light of Christ on June 1, 2005. His family, with love and gratitude, will remember dad. Mel was a lifelong resident of New Mexico with a real entrepreneurial spirit and a vision toward the future. Mel became a prominent small business owner of Valley Distributing Co. In 1945, and was involved in several business ventures through-out his years. Mel truly enjoyed fishing and hunting before he was over taken with the debilitating disease of Alzheimer's. Mel is survived by his wife, Angie; his daughters, Rosabella Dugger, Marce Chavez, both from Albuquerque, Charlene Berbig from Anchorage, AK; 11 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; four sisters; and one brother. Mel was preceded in death by his two sons, Mel Jr. and Albert; parents; and three brothers. The family would like to extend a very Special Thanks to "The Cottages" for providing a pleasant stimulating environment full of love and comfort for the past four years. Entombment took place in the chapel at Mt. Calvary on June 3, 2005 Thou hast died for my transgression All my sins on Thee were laid; Thou hast won for me salvation, On the cross my debt was paid, From the grave I shall arise And shall meet Thee in the skies. Death itself is transitory; I shall lift my head in glory. I LOVE YOU DAD Ro "The Son is the Radiance of GOD's glory" Hebrew 1:3
