Robert Moya

We are saddened to announce the passing of my beloved son, dad, grandpa, our brother, uncle, and friend, Robert L. “Puya” Moya , 47, of Chimayó who resided in Hernandez, and left us peacefully to be with our Lord on March 18, 2021, surrounded by his loved ones. He was born to Robert F.

Ortiz, and Lourdes Ortega; paternal grandfather, Luciano Moya; father, Robert F. Moya; uncle, Reñaldo Ortiz, and Marcelino Moya, and other relatives.

Robert (AKA) "Puya" was a very neat person. He was meticulous of his appearance and took pride in himself. He was a very protective and loving father to his children.  He loved his faith in the lord. He was an alter server in his childhood years. When he was seventeen, he did the pellegrino walk (100-mile walk). He loved his family & friends which he loved spending time with. He loved his lowriders and hydraulics. He was a talented individual and a jack of all trades. He loved the outdoors especially fishing, camping, and motorcycle riding. He loved doing construction, greeting and helping people wherever he worked.
