Jesus Miguel Molina, 80 of Hobbs, New Mexico, passed away on December 22, 2025, surrounded by his family and loved ones.

Mr. Molina was born on November 10, 1945, to Telesforo Molina and Agustina Jurado in El Salitre, Chihuahua, Mexico.

Visitation for Jesus will be Saturday, December 27, 2025, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Calvary Memorial Funeral Home. Visitation will continue on Sunday, December 28, 2025, from 2 p.m. to 8p.m. A prayer vigil will be held at 6 p.m.

Mass of Christian burial will be held on Monday, December 29, 2025, at 11 a.m. Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church, with Father Oneke officiating. Committal burial will follow at Prairie Haven Memorial Park.

Miguel is survived by his wife, Leonides Molina of Hobbs. Seven children: Michael Molina and wife Sorangel and Dorivel Chavez and husband Lenin, all of Hobbs. Luis Manuel Molina and Asucena Molina both of Kansas City, Missouri. Lori Molina and Erika Suarez both of Kansas City, Kansas. Brother: Pablo Molina and wife Maria of Cuauhtemoc, Mexico. Three sisters: Maria de Refugio Moreno of El Tule, Mexico. Ludivina Sánchez de El Terrero, México. Agustina Gutierrez of Aldama, Mexico. Grandchildren: Carl Molina, Marisa N. Oseguera, Maricela Molina, Treasure Fernandez, Lenin Chávez Jr., Alexa Y. Suarez, Kate-Linn Molina, Ángel Gabriel Chávez, Michael Molina Jr., Amaya Molina, Diana "Chiplona" Molina, Arianna Molina, Nia Campos, Jazleen A. Suarez, Cayson Cano, and Alejandra "AJ" Chávez.. Following ten great-grandchildren. Numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and godchildren.

Miguel was preceded in death by his parents, Telesforo and Agustina Molina. Two brothers: Luis Molina and Epifano Molina. Three sisters: Luzmila Sanchez, Carmides Gutierrez, and Guadalupe Medina. Grandson: Izak Chavez.

Miguel embraced life with an open heart and an unforgettable spirit. His family will forever cherish the memory of an amazing, charismatic, and deeply loving man who brought joy wherever he went. Miguel raised his children with strong values rooted in love, respect, and integrity, values they have proudly passed on to their own children. His legacy lives on through generations, a testament to the way he lived and loved. There was never a dull moment around Jesus. His grandchildren adored him, seeing him as both a saint and a legendary charmer, a reflection of his larger-than-life personality and sense of humor. Even during difficult times, Jesus lived life fully and unapologetically. When placed in arehabilitation center, he would jokingly ask his family why he was surrounded by “old people,” only to be reminded—much to his disbelief—that he was one of them. His jokes were famously terrible, yet somehow they always made everyone laugh. Miguel was a passionate storyteller and a lover of history. If you spent any time with him, you were sure to hear stories—especially about Pancho Villa, whom he admired greatly. He was also a part of history himself. While living in Kansas, Miguel worked for the Union Pacific Railroad and showed extraordinary compassion by bringing immigrants home, feeding and clothing them, and making sure they had a safe place to go. His kindness and generosity reflected the goodness of his soul. Those who loved Miguel will never forget his love for coffee—there was always another cup—and his joy for singing. His voice, like his presence, will always echo in the hearts of those who knew him. Above all, Miguels greatest passion was his ranch. He found peace and purpose in raising livestock, tending his garden, trick roping, driving his tractor, and riding his horses. The ranch he loved so dearly will continue to be a place of remembrance, filled with stories, laughter, and love. Jesus was deeply loved and will never be forgotten. His life, his laughter, and his legacy will forever live on through his family and all whose lives he touched.

Sammie G. Colvin, 77, of Hobbs, New Mexico, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family and loved ones on December 3, 2025.

Mr. Colvin was born on November 11, 1948, to Jessie Colvin and Willie Hales in Warren, Arkansas.

After graduating from Medford High School in Medford, Oregon, Sammie began his hardworking career at a local sawmill before venturing north to Alaska, where he worked on the Alaska Pipeline for five years. His strong work ethic and adventurous spirit later brought him to Hobbs, New Mexico, where he worked in the oilfield for several years. In 1987, Sammie married the love of his life, Josephine Herrera, at the Candlelight Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Together they built a full and blessed life. In 1988, Sammie followed his passion for hands-on work and opened a mechanic shop. Later, combining his love of the outdoors and business sense, he founded J & S Tree Farm in Hobbs after purchasing a tree farm in Lovington, which grew into a thriving nursery and landscape business that has served the community for the past 30 years.

Sammie is survived by his son, David Colvin, and daughter, Christi Colvin, both of Sarasota, Florida; and four stepchildren: Ronnie Fuller of Hobbs, Katherine and Jose Medrano of Clovis, Patricia and Mac Wright of Hobbs, and Kristina and Chris Sturguess of Seminole, Texas. He leaves behind eight grandchildren and twenty great-grandchildren who will cherish his memory and the lessons he passed down through his life of hard work, love, and perseverance.

Sammie loved spending time outdoors with his children and grandchildren. His Adventurous spirit led him to enjoy snowmobiling and inner tubing in the mountains, fishing, camping, four-wheeling, and off-road jeeping through the mountains of Colorado, where some of his favorite memories were made. Many of these trips were spent meeting fellow outdoor enthusiasts from across the United States. He also spent time camping along the beaches of Oregon, where his love for nature and family came together.

A celebration of Sammie’s life will be held at New Creation Apostolic Center, 620 N. Coleman, Hobbs, New Mexico, on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Committal burial will follow at Prairie Haven Memorial Park.

Jose Ramirez, 77, of Hobbs, New Mexico, passed away on November 30, 2025, surrounded by his family and loved ones.

Mr. Ramirez was born on August 9, 1948, to Hilario Ramirez and Anita Benavides in Manuel Benavides, Chihuahua, Mexico.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, December 4, 2025, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Calvary Memorial Funeral Home.

Funeral services will take place on Friday, December 5, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. at Iglesia Monte de Alabanza y Verdad, with Pastor Joel Cuevas officiating. Committal burial will follow at Prairie Haven Memorial Park.

Jose was known for his easy smile, playful sense of humor, and his trademark phrase that everything was “pretty good alright.” He loved staying busy, and he found joy in working with his hands, fixing things, and keeping himself moving. His determination carried him through challenges that would have stopped most people. Despite being legally blind and color blind, he faced each day with resilience, quietly overcoming obstacles and living life on his own terms. He enjoyed simple pleasures: sharing jokes, making others laugh, waking up early, taking his naps, and spending time at Jaliscos. He took pride in traditions like making tamales, preparing his well-loved beef stew, and creating moments that became lasting memories. Christmases, family gatherings, and everyday moments were brighter because of him. Jose showed love through presence. If someone needed him, he showed up — whether at sporting events, celebrations, or the moments that mattered most. Ambitious, caring, goofy, and true to himself, he lived with a strong work ethic, unwavering faith, and a devotion to his family that shaped everyone around him. He will be remembered as a faithful servant of God, a devoted father, and a hardworking man whose strength and spirit touched all who knew him.

Jose is survived by his wife, Estela Ramirez, of Hobbs. Two sons: Jose Ramirez Jr. of Hobbs and Jose Manuel Ramirez of San Diego, California. Two daughters: Esther Serna of San Diego, California, and Eva Mills of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Three stepchildren: Gabriel Rodriguez of Amarillo, Texas; Mayte Mendoza and Armando Mendoza, both of Denver, Colorado. Brother: Arturo Ramirez of Hobbs. Three sisters: Aurora Gonzales and Yolanda Barrera, both of Hobbs, and Mercedes Rodriguez of Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico. Eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Jose was preceded in death by his parents, Hilario and Anita Ramirez; his daughter, Beatrice Ramirez; and his stepson, Edgar Mendoza. Three brothers: Jesus Ramirez, Guadalupe Ramirez, and Modesto Ramirez; and three sisters: Carlota Alarcon, Maria Ramirez, and Modesta Ramirez.
