David Manuel Pacheco

On December 9th, our father David M. Pacheco passed away peacefully after a long battle with Metastatic cancer and kidney disease.

He was surrounded by his surviving daughters, Andrea Pacheco, and Jaclyn Parrish, along with Michael Parrish, Jaclyn's husband.

Our father grew up in Superior, Arizona with his sister Tessie Navarro and their mother Avelia Santa Cruz. He graduated from San Manuel High School and studied at Western Technical College. He served in the U.S. Air Force. During one of his duty stations in Kansas City, he met the love of his life, our mother Gloria. They were blissfully married for 40 years, until her passing in 2010.

During his life, he retired from the Air Force and work for the National Security Agency, for 30 years until he retired to become a Government Contractor. Our father was awarded many accommodations for his work at NSA. He loved sports, music, and dancing. His sense of humor was above par.

He is survived by his sister Tessie Navarro and his extended family in Oregon, California, Missouri, Kansas, Texas and Arizonia.. He was very respected throughout his life and would help anyone that asked. He will truly be missed.
