Genovevo graduated from Deming High School in 1984 where he was very active in baseball. He was also very active in softball and played with various men and co-ed softball teams. He later would play on various softball teams where he lived at the time and would also go on to coach his son’s little and senior league baseball teams. Genovevo also coached and supported other sports and activities and his kids were very active in basketball, soccer, volleyball, band and theatre. Genovevo was always on the sidelines for all the kid’s activities and his support carried on as they became adults and also when he became a grandparent. Genovevo’s greatest joys were his children and grandchildren whom he adored and lived for. There was nothing that he would not do for them.

His love and heart for helping youth carried on through the school as he assisted and cared for the entire student body and faculty. Genovevo particularly worked with a student by the name of Braylin Chaffin.  Genovevo never gave up on any youth he encountered over the years and always saw the beauty in all.  He encouraged everyone to always have fun with their life and never worry.
