It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Pascual G. Erunez, who peacefully left us on April 4th, 2025, surrounded by family members. Born on May 17, 1939, in Bacoachi, Sonora, Mexico, Pascual was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He was preceded in death by his parents, Jesus and Mercedes Erunez, and sister, Guillermina Erunes Tanori.

Pascual's memory will be remembered by his surviving wife of 65 years, Frances Erunez, and five children: Sandra Otero (Marco), Sonia Erunez, Angelica Erunez, Pascual Erunez Jr. (Susana), and Jesus Erunez; six grandchildren: Sonia Marie Rios (Daniel), Teddy Rios, Estevan Grajeda, Sandra Crawford (Ben), Nicholas Rios, and Christian Erunez; and four great-grandchildren: Amaya Grajeda, Logan Booth, Selena Grajeda, and Sienna Booth.

Pascual will be remembered for his passion for baseball, as he was a pitcher at the age of 17 for the Arizona-Mexico League, Tucson Cowboys, and a member of the Benefit Sports Club Veteran League. He was an avid fan of the Arizona Diamondbacks, or as he called them "Los Diamonds." Pascual was a man of integrity, a pillar of strength and faith. He was known for his witty charm, humor, and storytelling.

Pascual's career included working for Western Meat Packing Company and Jones Meat Packing Company. In 1980, Pascual joined his wife, Frances, in opening Los Jarritos Mexican Food.

The family would like to thank his medical team, David T. Wittman M.D., AKDHC, and Mayra Melendez M.D.

Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church. Rosary at 10 a.m., followed by Mass at 10:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please donate to St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, Tucson, AZ.

Pascual will be greatly missed, and his memory will live on. May he rest in peace.
