Dante Elijah Archuleta

Our baby boy, Dante Elijah Archuleta passed unexpectedly on November 19th, 2024. Dante was a happy, affectionate, loving, Giant Teddy bear that laughed and loved everyone who knew him. People loved how he was always quick with a joke or able to break up an awkward situation with his outlandish sarcasm. He always knew how to make someone smile. ALWAYS. Dante could always be found playing Magic: The Gathering with all his buddies, often at work or off the clock. That, or calling in sick to hit the airsoft fields with his friends; or just at home enjoying endless Anime marathons with his girlfriend Maddison.

Dante’s memory will forever be in the hearts of his family, friends, and all those who love him. Dante is survived by his mom Consuelo, his dad Ted, sister Amanda, brother Malcom, and nephew Ignacio. Also, survived by his grandparents: Grandpa Pete, Grandma Tina, Grandpa Bernie, and Grandma Fran. The family would like to extend their sincerest gratitude for support during this difficult time. 

Rosary and Mass will be on December 13th, 2024 at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Santa Cruz, NM at 10:30 am.
