Robert Esquipula "Skip" Aragón passed away on March 23, 2022.
Skip was born in his family's home in Bernalillo, NM on December 29, 1949, to Manuel "Bosh" and Ida "YaYa" (Miller) Aragon.
Skip was a proud father to Amber, Les, and Todd.
Skip obtained his barber's license the same day as his draft notice. Skip then entered the United States Army for one combat tour in Vietnam from December of 1969 until December of 1970. Skip was awarded three Bronze Stars and several other medals and awards during his service.
As a result of his service, he battled with PTSD for which he bravely sought therapy. Skip then pursued helping other veterans suffering from similar mental health disorders.
Skip worked as a journeyman electrician for Sandia National Labs for 32 years.
Skip was an adventurous soul. Skip loved fishing, hiking, car racing, playing softball with the senior league and meeting new people. If you were friends with Skip, you were a friend for life.
Most of all, Skip loved spending time with family.
Skip was preceded in death by his parents, his sister, Sandra (Aragón) Pino and baby brother, Mark Anthony.
Skip is survived by his wife, Tina Misak-Aragón, his children, Amber Padilla (Daniel) of Prosper, TX, Les Aragón of Albuquerque and Todd Palmer (Tracey) of Castle Rock, CO, his siblings, Roanie Aragón (Theresa), Arbie Aragón and KiKi Munera (Eddie) and brother-in-law, Carlos Pino. Skip is also survived by his numerous grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
A family memorial service is to be held at a later date.
