Teddy Pacheco

Teddy G. Pacheco, 44, of Cordova, NM, was called upon the Lord on January 30, 2024. Teddy was the only son of five sisters born to Armando and Polita Pacheco.

Teddy had a passion for his lowriders, car shows and his Harley. But nothing compared to the love he had for his wife Jeanette of 30 years, his daughters, son and grandkids he loved so much. His family meant the world to him, he adored and cherished every moment with them. If you ever attended a car show whether in state or out of state, he was always surrounded and supported by his wife and kids. Teddy loved his pit bulls (aka fur babies).

Teddy worked for Rio Arriba County for several years and when he wasn’t working, you’d find him working on his cars. He attended and competed at many car shows with his car club Majestics of (2 ½ Years) that he called family. Whether in and out of state Teddy always brought home a first place every time. 

Teddy is preceded in death by his father Armando Pacheco, sister Andrina Manzanares, mother and father-in-law Steve and Pricilla Salazar, parental grandparents Garcedon and Adonelia Pacheco, maternal grandparents Saiz and Ermelinda Trujillo, uncles Oliveo Trujillo, Teddy, Valeriano and Jake Pacheco, aunts Lorraine Barela, Maida Pacheco, Irene Medina, Dora Soliz, Beverly Montoya and many cousins. 

Teddy is survived by the love of his life Jeanette Salazar, daughters which he adored Angel Pacheco, Shantel Pacheco (Rogelio), Adrianna, son and best friend Nathaniel Pacheco, granddaughter/God daughter LilyAnna Hernandez and grandson Rylan Garcia, his mother Polita Pacheco, sisters Brenda Sandoval (Norman), Bernadette Molina, Michelle Martinez (Tim), Janet Torresday (Angel), special sister-in-law Anna Martinez (Pat) and girls, Stephanie and Janelle Salazar, best friend/brother Jose and his wife Sofia Martinez & kids.
