Ray Higuera, age 59, previously of Silver City, passed away unexpectedly on Friday July 13, 2018. Ray, the youngest child of the late Elias & Maria Higuera was born June 10, 1959 in Lordsburg, New Mexico. He graduated from Silver High School in 1976.
Ray was never one to shy away from hard work. He ultimately established a career within the copper mining industry. His profession took him from Arizona to New Mexico. Shortly after his retirement he relocated to El Paso, Texas. He was a treasured son, brother, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend. Ray worked tirelessly to help others. He was also a fierce and loyal protector of those he loved. He enjoyed traveling, driving, refurbishing trucks, camping, and supporting the LA Dodgers & Dallas Cowboys. But most importantly spending quality time with his family and friends.
