Rosary and Funeral Mass for Clarence Marez will be held on Wednesday-September 7, 2022-9:30 AM at the San Rafael Catholic Church. Burial will follow at the San Rafael Community Cemetery.



Clarence Marez was born on November 18, 1969 in Grants, New Mexico to Andres and Juanita (Gallegos) Marez. He earned his wings on August 31, 2022. Clarence dedicated the majority of his life to serving others. Clarence started his public service in law enforcement, then later in life to the fire service where he was quickly promoted to Chief for the San Rafael Vol. Fire Department. Aside from public service, he loved to help anyone and everyone. There was no such thing as a quick errand or task, he always found someone to talk to and catch up with.



He loved woodworking, ironworking, camping, barbecuing, and most importantly, spending time with his family and friends. God is a great gardener; he plants his seeds, and on August 31st, God pulled a beautiful flower. Fly high, we will miss you, but this is not goodbye. We love you so much! May God make you feel welcomed and comfortable settling into your new home...
