Over seventy years ago, Felipe Barajas Plazas was first called to serve the Lord and learned about the virtues of Christianity. His spouse of seventy five years, Ana Carmen, or 'Carmensita' as he lovingly referred to her, was his partner in sharing and spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. The last 30 years were spent in Oklahoma, where he remained as a spiritual leader and mentor to his family.
Felipe's principles of value and love can be seen through the immeasurable strength and unity of the Barajas Family. His faith in God leaves us with a legacy that will be remembered and will carry the memory of his spiritual leadership. It is impossible to count the amount of people that he ministered to; the Barajas family is a testament to how great of a leader, teacher and patriarch he was and will always carry him in their hearts. Rest in Peace Felipe Barajas Plazas.
