Burt Lloyd Vigil passed away peacefully in his home in Taos, New Mexico, on June 3, 2024, at the age of 74. He was born on February 8, 1950, to Elvira Tafoya Vigil and George Blas Vigil in Socorro, New Mexico. After a short dancing career in Las Vegas, Nevada, he chose to call Taos his home where his parents were brought up. He was very talented and enjoyed dancing, playing music, and teaching. He always found a way to make people laugh and have a good time, many would say he was the life of the party. He was proud of many of his amazing children, beautiful grandchildren, and blessed extended family members. People will always remember his sense of humor and charismatic personality.
Burt is preceded in death by his beloved parents, Elvira Tafoya Vigil, and George Blas Vigil, as well as his oldest son Bret Damian Vigil. He is survived by his children Tiffany Chavez (Gene), Brandon Vigil, Blaine Vigil (Erica), 8 wonderful grandchildren, Christian, Julianna, Orion, Ashton, Ava, Berenger, Cassandra, and Zane, and his darling Princess (dog). He also leaves behind many extended family members and close friends whom he loved dearly.
We can all find solace in knowing he’s been reunited with his parents and eldest son.
A Rosary will be held at the San Francisco de Asis Church on Thursday, August 1 at 9 AM. A Mass will follow at 10 AM.
