Gilbert served in the National Guard from October 1973 - October 1979.

Gilbert was a man of faith and integrity who always honored his word. He was steadfast in his beliefs and had a passion for music. Gilbert spoke with wisdom and humor. He respected the land. He was a natural historian and strong advocate for all Land Grants, especially La Merced De Pueblo De Chilili. You would often find Gilbert surrounded by his familia, in his beloved mountains, or on the dance floor.

His life was a true legacy of honor, strength, familia, and live each day likes there's no tomorrow. He was a true inspiration, and our lives will not be the same without him. We are at peace knowing he is dancing in a much better place. We will forever treasure the many stories, guidance, and lasting memories he blessed us with.

Time waits for no one. If you still have it in your heart to send a card to the family, you may mail it to P.O. Box 2246 Tijeras, NM 87059.
