Angelo Tafoya

Angelo Tafoya born June 24, 2008, A loving son, brother & Senior at Manzano High School passed away on September 17, 2025.

Angelo's vibrant fearless approach to life was contagious. He was an individual who lived life unapologetically, was never afraid to walk with faith, pursue his passions or to stand up for what he believed in.

His kind heart knew no bounds, his smile and laughter were infectious and he had an unwavering sense of loyalty beyond his years. He embraced every challenge with courage and energy, inspiring those around him to live with the same fearless heart that he did.

As a son, he was a source of immense pride & joy. As a brother, he was a protector, a confidant, and a constant companion. He brought a unique joy to his family, and loved ones filling their homes and lives with warmth, love, and the kind of energy that only he could provide.

Although his time with us was tragically cut short, Angelo always lived life to the fullest. He was loved - deeply and fiercely - by family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. His laughter, his smile, and his positive energy will remain in our hearts forever.

In honor of Angelo, we will continue to walk with faith, live with purpose, and love unconditionally with the same fierce heart that he carried so proudly.

His legacy is one of strength, joy, and a reminder to be in the moment and Trust God even in the face of uncertainty. This world lost a beautiful soul - but heaven gained a fearless angel. And now, from above, he watches over us-guiding, protecting, and surrounding us with love every step of the way.

Angelo is preceded in death by his Tata Orlando Chavez Jr, Auntie Yvonne Chavez and many other loved ones that were there to greet him at the gates of heaven.

He is survived by countless family members, friends, and loved ones who will continue to honor his memory.

Gone too soon, but forever in the arms of God and in our hearts. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

A memorial service to celebrate Angelo's life & faith will be held at a later date.

On behalf of FRENCH Funerals and Cremations, we express our deepest condolences.
