Obituary for PADILLA


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Thursday January 10, 2013

PADILLA, JOHN RAYMOND aka Mr. P, passed away peacefully and comfortably on January 3, 2013, at the age of 67 after a long, hard battle with diabetes. He was surrounded by the love of his immediate family and friends. He is survived by two brothers, Gilbert and Charles; son Mark and daughter-in-law Amanda; daughters Aubra and Jennifer; granddaughter Elena; grandsons Kenneth and Leroy James; niece Tamara; as well as many aunts, uncles, other relatives and friends; and his beloved dog Max. Mr. Padilla was known as a great outdoorsman and was well-known for the stories he told of his outdoor adventures. This made him a favorite of the doctors and staff at UNM Hospital where, unfortunately, he was a frequent patient. There will be a gathering to celebrate his life on January 12, 2013 at 6301 Oakland, N.E., Albuquerque, NM 87113.
