He loved and lived for his family. Dolores worked for Jaca Livestock for 44 years on Reynolds Creek in Murphy, Idaho, as a ranch hand, where he was known as someone who carried his own weight and took pride in his work. He was extremely well known throughout the valley as a hard-working, detail-oriented employee. He loved the ranch and being outdoors. He loved buckarooing, mending fences, herding cattle, horseshoeing, and branding. He had a natural ability to train horses and loved doing it. He trained his favorite horses Riley, Monkey, and Negro by tapping them and they would stretch out low so Dolores could mount easily. He spent much of his time grazing cattle as far as Silver City, Wagon Town, and Jordon Valley. But on Sundays he would come down off the mountain to see his kids and grandkids, talking and playing with them. They all loved their dad and grandpa. They felt he paid attention to them. He had a reputation for caring about everyone and putting others first. Folks knew that he would give you the shirt off his back. He was a friendly guy and had a good sense of humor. Dolores was preceded in death by his parents, Dolores Lopez and Rosa Pantoja. He is survived by his children, grandchildren and brother and sisters.
