It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Felipe Reyes Chavez, who passed away on November 1st 2026 at the age of 48.

Felipe Reyes Chavez was born on March 24th 1978 in Hobbs, New Mexico. Where he grew up with his family on South Mckinley street. He was a hard working man who fathered four beautiful children that he loved dearly.

He was a work driven man who loved to help others when needed all the time, he was the type of man to give you his t-shirt off of his back. He was a very special soul who loved to joke and laugh with others and enjoyed quality time around family and friends. He loved to work on his trucks and loved his loud music. What made him the most special is because he cared so much for others regardless of the situation he was always there for us. He will be remembered most by being helpful and making great memories with family.

He enjoyed doing mechanic work on his vehicles and others vehicles as well, his favorite holiday was Thanksgiving being able to be with the whole family, and also loved loud speakers in his truck to let everyone know he's coming.

He is survived by his children Rebecca Valdez, Cassandra Chavez, Felipe Jr Chavez, Iliana Chavez. His grandchildren Autumn Valdez, Baby Chavez. Siblings who are Mary Saenz, Teresa Cruz, Sandra Benavidez, Eulalio Benavidez, Diane Benavidez, Ray Benavidez, Jessie Benavidez, Irene Canales, Lorina Ramos, Lisa Varges, Korine Chavez, Birda Gomez, Becky Chavez, Melissa Benavidez.
