Michael E. Rosales, 73, passed away on January 22, 2026. A lifelong Puebloan, he was born on May 1, 1952, to Michael Rosales and Angelina Vigil, who precede him in death along with in-laws, Gilbert and Bernice Pacheco.
Mike loved his family and friends more than anything, and if you spent time with him, you knew it. He especially enjoyed sharing a beer, talking a little crap (or a lot), and laughing with the people he loved. He was a loyal Denver Broncos fan, a devoted music listener, enjoyed playing pool, shooting darts, and never missed a chance to enjoy a cigarette and good company.
Mike leaves behind his loving wife, Lori (Flores) Rosales; his children, Stephanie (Jason) Clements, Sasha (Rae) Rivera, and Kenny (Wendy) Pacheco; and his grandchildren, Jayden Rosales, Anayah Perez, Roman Clements, Sebastian Rivera, Aubrey Pacheco, and Isaiah Pacheco; siblings, Mary Ellen (Sam) Santistevan and Liz (Perry) Smith. He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, and family members and friends who will miss his stories, his humor, and his presence every single day.
