Ernesto Correa Sr.

Ernesto Correa Sr. 63 of Chihuahua, Mexico passed away January 28, 2012. Ernesto was a great man in many ways. He loved helping people out in so many ways. He was a very dedicated family man and always strived to give them the best, they will miss him greatly. Ernesto was known as a jack of all trades, helping people with construction work to electrical work. This was truly an upright man who many people looked up too. He worked in a steel mill for many years until he decided to move to Las Cruces, NM with his family in 1983. Upon his arrival he was met with many trials but he got through them with his family in mind. His compassion and generosity towards others, fear in god, and love for his family will always be remembered. Ernesto worked hard right down toward his final days, helping install lighting fixtures two days before he rested peacefully. The Correa family gives a very special thank you to Mesilla Valley Hospice for their compassionate of Ernesto in his final days. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
