Monce, 71, of Lake Arthur, NM, passed away on June 6th, 2025 in his home. He was born April 27th, 1954 to Eduveges Gomez Balderama and Eniceforor Valerio Gardea in Satevo, Chihuahua, Mexico. He enjoyed music and all that came with it. Playing his accordion and his guitar were his passions. Playing pool was also a great passion when the weekend came. At home, Monce found every reason to be outside. He truly enjoyed gardening and taking care of his animals. He loved spending time with his family and friends around a bomb fire. Monce was a brother, husband, father, grandfather, and an all-around amazing individual who tried his hardest to help others. No matter where he went, he lit up a room and put a smile on everyone’s face just with his presence. Monce had a great heart and put others before himself.

Monce is preceded by his father Eneceforo, mother Eduvegas, and his beloved wife, Olga M. Balerio.
