William Michael Pacheco

In Loving Memory of William “Mikey” Michael Pacheco 

William “Mikey” Michael Pacheco, age 68, passed away peacefully on March 19, 2026, at Willows Assisted Living following a courageous battle with cancer. William’s warmth, strength, and easy laugh touched everyone who knew him. His spirit will be deeply missed by his family and friends.

William was preceded in death by his mother, Virginia Abeyta; his father, George Pacheco; his brothers, Alex Pacheco and Danny Pacheco; and his beloved daughter, Wilma Pacheco.

William fell in love with Brenda Beasley, and together they welcomed two children, Virginia Pacheco and Wilma Pacheco. Later in life, he met Crucita Romero, with whom he shared 27 wonderful years filled with companionship, laughter, and love.

In 2023, William moved to Idaho to be closer to his daughter and grandsons, cherishing every moment spent with his family.

He is survived by his sisters and brothers: Teresa Pacheco; David Pacheco (Annie); Jerry Pacheco (Andrea); Judy Duran (Amos); Barbara Tafoya (James); Patricia Gutierrez; Karla Gonzales (Richard); Angela Pacheco; Susan Lustri; Maxine Pacheco; Casey; and Steve. He is also survived by his daughter, Virginia Pacheco (Ace), and his three cherished grandsons, Armando, Marco, and Noah. William leaves behind many nieces and nephews, along with countless friends and extended family who loved him dearly.

William lived a life of hard work and dedication. He proudly served as a firefighter, built homes with skill and care, and worked as a mechanic — always ready to lend a hand or fix whatever needed attention. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life: fishing, spending time in the mountains, enjoying a cold beer, visiting the casino, and watching football. Above all, he loved being with his family and creating memories that will be treasured forever. William was known for his kind heart, strong work ethic, and quiet resilience. He touched many lives with his presence and will be remembered for his love of family and the lasting impact he made on everyone around him.

Funeral services will be held in Taos, New Mexico. Dates and details will be announced once arrangements have been finalized. He was truly loved by many and will forever remain in our hearts.
