James "Jim" Sena

August 4, 1946 — August 21, 2025

James "Jim" Sena, a cherished husband, father, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on August 21, 2025, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Born on August 4, 1946, in Clovis, New Mexico, Jim lived a life that was marked by determination, wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to those he loved.

Jim was a proud veteran of the United States Navy, an experience that shaped much of his character and instilled in him the values of hard work and perseverance. His journey continued as he pursued a Master's Degree in Electronics Technology, a testament to his insatiable curiosity and his desire to excel. Throughout his life, Jim set goals for himself and worked tirelessly to achieve them, inspiring those around him with his tenacity and insight.

He was not just a dedicated professional; he was an extraordinary man who valued family above all else. Jim is survived by his beloved wife, Luz Elena Sena, who was his partner in life and love, as they navigated the complexities and joys of life together. His steadfast support and deep affection for her were hallmarks of their enduring relationship.

Jim's legacy lives on through the countless memories he created with his family and friends. He was known for his strength and hard work but also for his gentle wisdom that offered solace and guidance to those who sought it. In moments of challenge, his family knew they could rely on his counsel, which was always filled with understanding and compassion.

Jim was preceded in death by his father, Ernesto Sena, and his mother, Celestina Pacheco, who undoubtedly welcomed him with open arms. Although he is no longer with us physically, the impact he had on the hearts of those who knew him will forever remain a guiding light.

As we remember Jim, let us celebrate the many roles he played in our lives—a devoted husband, a caring father, a loving brother, and an exceptional friend. Though he has left this earthly realm, the love he shared and the lessons he imparted will continue to inspire and strengthen us in the days to come. Rest in peace, dear Jim. Your essence will forever be woven into the fabric of our lives.
