Robert Perez, 59, of Santa Fe, New Mexico, passed away peacefully on March 18, 2025, after bravely battling cancer for six years. He was born on February 13, 1966, in Austin, Texas, to Robert and Cynthia Perez.
Robert dedicated 37 years of service to the Army National Guard before retiring. While serving in the Guard, he also worked for the New Mexico Corrections Department for the last 10 years. A man of many talents and passions, he loved hunting, woodworking, carpentry, and camping—finding true joy in the great outdoors. He is survived by his loving wife, Veronica Perez, with whom he shared 12 wonderful years of marriage. He also leaves behind his children, Rob, Indio, and Elena, as well as his stepchildren, Nicolas and Miquela Romero. He is also survived by many beloved family members in Texas and New Mexico. Robert was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Cynthia Perez. Robert was a devoted Christian who was deeply loved by those who knew him. He was at peace and ready to be with the Lord. His presence will be greatly missed, but his memory will live on in the hearts of those he touched.
