Joshua Pacheco, the beloved son of Minerva Ostos and stepson to Ernie Ostos, was a cherished sibling to Denissa Banegas, Steven Tirre, Ernest Jr., Stella Gomez and Amanda plus his bonus brothers Elias, Carprio, Isaac, and Michael. On Saturday morning, our lives changed forever when Joshua was taken from us due to a tragic homicide in Las Cruces, NM. His passing was sudden and completely unexpected, leaving our family heartbroken and unprepared with saying goodbye.

Joshua was only 37 years old, and he was dearly loved by his family and friends. He was known for his love of the Raiders, spending time with friends, and walking his neighborhood. He was ready to settle down and was looking forward to a brighter future. His loss is deeply felt by his brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and all who knew him.

We are raising funds to help cover the costs of Joshua’s family expenses. The support will also help his mother, who is currently out of work due to health reasons. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference. Justice will be served, and his name will not be forgotten. Thank you for your kindness and support during this incredibly difficult time.
