Ralph Dean Peña, 54, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, October 12th, 2021 in Alamogordo, New Mexico.
Ralph was the first baby of the year born in Ruidoso, New Mexico on January 1st, 1967 to Rafael and Edovigen Peña.
Ralph was a Construction Manager and Business Owner. He left his mark all around New Mexico with all of the buildings he constructed. He loved his family very much and always loved spending time with them. Ralph enjoyed the cold weather and anything Christmas-related, especially Christmas lights. He loved anything outdoor related: hunting, fishing and hiking. He enjoyed target practice, old cars, his dogs, the L.A. Dodgers and Indianapolis Colts, playing chess, coaching baseball, talking about his kids, and taking walks in the park with his parents and his brothers. He was very competitive, hard-working, and loved to make others laugh. Ralph had a great sense of humor, and could always bring out the best in anyone. Most importantly he loved God, and was very devoted in his faith.
Survivors include his children, Joshua Peña and Chelsea Shaffer; his parents, Rafael and Edovigen Peña; his brothers, Chris and Joe Peña; his nephews, Christopher Peña and Paul and Isaiah Baca; his niece, Christianna Baca; along with many other friends who will dearly miss him.
A memorial service for Ralph Peña will be held at Christ Community Church in Alamogordo, New Mexico on Saturday, October 16th at 10:00 AM.
The Pena family has entrusted their loved one to the care of Alamogordo Funeral Home.
