LeRoy M. Candelaria funeral and memorial fund

This GoFundMe has been organized to help the family of LeRoy M. Candelaria, who passed away unexpectedly on December 22.

Leroy was a beloved husband, father, uncle, friend, county commissioner, and member of his community. He went out of his way to help people; he would "walk a mile to say hello." Everyone who knew him will remember his humor, kindness, and generosity. If you're driving on a highway in New Mexico, there's a good chance he supervised the painting of the road markings that you're following. He was a unique individual who followed his heart and left a huge fingerprint on the people and world around him.

Because LeRoy Candelaria's passing was sudden and unexpected, the family is asking for donations in lieu of flowers. These funds will help with costs associated with the funeral and the next few months for his wife, Concha Candelaria. Any amount that you can give will be appreciated and will help so much in this difficult time.
