Valentin A. Sais

On October 04, 2022, Valentin A. Sais, loving husband, father, grandfather, and uncle passed away at the age of 76. He was born in Casa Colorada, NM to Pilar and Eva Sais. Valentin found passion helping his community as a plumber. He was lucky enough to meet the love of his life, at a dance and they spent 55 years together. Valentin’s family started with his wife Luby and he enjoyed raising three daughters and two sons. Ultimately his family grew more and so did his heart, as he was blessed with four grandchildren. Valentin’s favorite thing to do to was being outdoors in the Casa Colorada sun, cutting weeds, feeding his lambs, and messing with something he shouldn’t have. It wasn’t until later in life he discovered shopping at Wal-Mart. Valentin enjoyed shopping because that allowed him to visit with friends as he loved to do. Valentin enjoyed keeping traditions alive, including yearly visits to the Fiestas of Belen and short road trips to surrounding areas. He enjoyed listening to the New Mexican music, radio programs KARS Radio and KANW. Valentin’s favorite song was “Valentin De La Sierra”. He always wanted to see a smile on faces, so he would load the truck up and take all the kids to the Tiendita for candy. Valentin will always be everyone’s favorite because he enjoyed the simple things in life and didn’t take it too seriously. He mostly enjoyed laughter. Valentin was preceded in death by his daughter, Christine Sais; parents, Pilar and Eva; and five siblings, Celsita, Primitivo, Virginia, Barney, and Benjamin. He is survived by his wife, Luby; sons: Richard (Vickie) Sais, and their daughter Mikeila, Chris (Katie) Sais; daughters: Irene Crites and her daughter Katielyn (favorite pet Bella); Valerie (Bobby) Montano, their two boys Bobby John Jr. and Isaiah; two sisters, Mabel Miranda and Margaret (Abran) Garcia; Cousin Val (Priscilla) Sais Jr.; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews he cherished.
