Surviving children also include Adam Nevarez, Mary Stella, Vilma, and Abby. Surviving sisters include Dominga Flores, Ramona Benevidez, Eloisa Cardon, and Virginia Gieser, one great granddaughter, numerous grandchildren, one on the way, and many cousins, nieces, and nephews. Billy was born in the town of Mesilla, to Miguel and Catarina Nevarez. He dedicated seven years to dancing in Tortugas for the vigil de Guadalupe. He was honorably discharged from the army in 1965, and married his life long partner in 1971. He is to be remembered as a very hard worker and dedicated provider for his family.
