Obituary John E. Olguin, 68, of Carlsbad, New Mexico passed away on Saturday, November 14, 2020. John was born on June 19, 1952to Louisa Lovato and Enrique Olguin in Roswell, NM. He was raised in Hagerman, NM and graduated class of 1972 at Lake Arthur High. He met Connie Chavarria while attending Eastern New Mexico University at Roswell and made her his wife in September of the same year. John faced many health battles throughout his life but always proved to be a warrior and prevailed each time. He had three sons and one daughter despite being told he would never be a father. In his youth he enjoys coaching his childrens sports, camping and fishing with his family and dancing with his wife as often as he could. As he aged and his family grew, he loved chasing around his 9 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. He could always be found sitting at the table visiting with family, scratching tickets, and doing crossword puzzles. He took pride in his family, himself, and everything he did and never left a job unfinished. He will be greatly missed by his entire family. He is preceded in death by his parents Enrique and Louisa, son John Olguin, daughter Melissa Olguin Lane, great granddaughter Alyanna Gonzalez, sisters Victoriana Olguin and Molly Olguin Nunez, brothers Henry Olguin, Raymond Olguin, and Jerry Olguin, grandparents Sostena and David Lovato, and beloved in-laws Ramon and Cruz Chavarria.
