Mar. 12 -- Paul Griego 1937-2025 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Paul Griego, age 87, who left this world peacefully on March 5, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Services will take place at San Antonio Catholic Church in Abeytas, on Saturday, March 22, starting with a visitation at 8:30 a.m., a Rosary at 9:30 a.m. and a Funeral Mass at 10 a.m. Interment will follow at Abeytas Catholic Cemetery. He is lovingly remembered by his devoted wife of 66 years, Helen Griego; his sons, Anthony (Karen), Carl (Luz) and Irwin (Yvonne Baca); his cherished grandchildren, Justin (Melinda), Cameron (Kathleen), Brittany Boyd, Jordan, Alex, Felica Baca-Griego and Ryan (Jennifer); and his treasured great-grandchildren, Chloe Boyd, Tyler, Leo, Luca, Cecilia, Carlos, Cameron Jr. and Kateri Griego. Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Salomon and Eluticia Griego; his brothers, Mike and Johnny Griego; and sister-in-law, Carmel Griego. Paul's professional journey included an 11-year tenure at ACF Industries, followed by 25 years of dedicated service at APS, where he retired leaving behind a legacy of hard work and commitment. Beyond his career, Paul was deeply involved in his community. He became a sponsor for the RCIA program at Our Lady of The Most Holy Rosary in Albuquerque and devoted several years as a little league coach. After retirement, Paul and Helen moved to Abeytas, where he embraced a life of farming and ranching. Paul further distinguished himself through his volunteer work with the Abeytas Fire Department and the St. Vincent de Paul food distribution program. His spirit of service extended to his role as mayordomo for the Abeytas San Antonio mission for seven years, as well as his one-year of service for the San Jose Mission in Contreras. Paul was a kind and loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. His life was filled with generosity, community service, and family love. We are forever grateful for the lifetime of memories he has given us. His gentle spirit and warm presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Rest in peace, Paul. Your legacy of love and service will continue to inspire us all. Please sign Paul's online tribute at romerofuneralhomenm.com. Romero Funeral Home, 609 N. Main St., Belen.
