Ireneo "Eddie" Nieto May 25, 1947 - March 17, 2005 God saw he was getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around him and whispered, "come with me." With tearful eyes we watched him suffer and saw him fade away although we could not bear to lose him we could not bid him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands laid to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best! Eddie was a graduate of Rio Grande High School and a U.S. Army Veteran, having served in Vietnam. He enjoyed music, playing the guitar and spending time with family and friends. Eddie loved the outdoors and hunting. He was preceded in death by his wife. Mary Nieto 2001; his father, Melecio Nieto; two brothers, Henry Nieto in 1999 and Tony Martinez 1995; three brothers-in-law, Mario Rodriguez in 1999, Stephen Candelaria in 1998, and Ralph Grine; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Manuel and Helen Grine. Eddie is survived by his mother, Venerada Nieto; daughter, Cynthia Allen; one brother, Isidro Nieto and wife, Debbie; two sisters, Esther Rodriguez and Georgia Candelaria; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins ,and friends who loved and will miss him. He made a difference in the lives of those he touched. Memorial Services will be held at San Jose Parish, 2401 Broadway Blvd. SE, on Tuesday, March 22, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. Private family burial will take place at a later date. The family would like to thank the Veterans Medical Center and staff for their care and support of Eddie and his family during this difficult time, and thank you to all of the friends who visited him. We will miss him very much. Arrangements by Direct Funeral Services, 2919 4th ST. NW. ABQ. 505-343-8008
