David V. Torres

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our father, David V. Torres, who departed this life on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. He was 91 years old and born in La Union, NM. Our father was a humorous soul and loved animals. He enlisted in the Marine Corp at 17 years old, and served in the Korean War. He was a proud Marine. He was a middle weight boxer in his younger days. He enjoyed bowling playing golf and going to what he called “Therapy” at Sunland Park and Speaking Rock Casinos. He volunteered at Parkdale Head Start Childhood Education Center. He enjoyed being around kids. He would laugh at how straight forward kids were. He was generous and donated to St. Jude Children’s Hospital and Operation Smile. David worked at W.R Weaver Scope Co. for many year. He worked at Clarostat Sensors and Controls from 1985 until his retirement in 1986.
