Hernandez, Sandra (Jaime) Martinez, Baltazar Jr., (Irma) Esparza, Edgar (Elizabeth)
Esparza and Alejandrina (Erasmo) Alvarez.
Baltazar courageously left Mexico in 1978 and came to the United States to
provide a better life for his family. He was the proud grandfather of Alfredo Jr.,
Isaias, Oziel and Aaron Hernandez, Sandra, Vianey, and Jaime Martinez, Nicholas
Salazar, Jasmin, and Brianna Esparza, Edgar and Geneva Esparza, Judith, Jonadan,
Erasmo, Sebastian, and Alexandra Alvarez. He lived to see his greatgrandchildren: Itzel, Joseph, Benjamin and Julian Salazar, G’zelle and Baltazar

Ruvalcava, the late Leoncio Esparza, Leonor (Jose Manuel) Ruiz, Felicitas
(Francisco) Cisneros, and Pilar Esparza. He was a loving uncle and friend to all he
met.
Baltazar was a hard-working family man. Welcomed to the sound of fireworks
after moving to the states on July 4th of 1978, he felt excited for a new start. His
favorite song was Los Mandados by Vicente Fernandez, which describes a story
similar to his own. He enjoyed watching basketball and baseball, and loved to
cook in his free time.

2022 at Central Chapel. The funeral service will then take place at 12pm at
