Joseph

Herrera

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Joseph Herrera, who left us on November 8, 2026, at the age of 46. Joseph was born on September 18, 1980, in Alamogordo, New Mexico, and resided in Mescalero.

Joseph will be remembered for his creative spirit and love for the outdoors. His passion for drawing, crafting, and building was matched only by his enthusiasm for hiking, skiing, and riding horses. Joseph's joyful energy touched the lives of those around him, and his legacy will continue through the memories shared by his family and friends.

He leaves behind a loving family, including his parents Larry Brusuelas Sr and Glenda Brusuelas, sister Sybil Herrera and her daughter Laila Rose Herrera, and son Joseph Perez-Herrera. Joseph is also survived by his brothers: Larry Brusueals Jr, Paul Brusuelas, Marc Brusuelas, Michael Torres, George Torres, and Bennie Pino. Each of them will carry forward the love and laughter he brought into their lives.

The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Joseph's Mission on November 14, 2026, at 10:00 AM, preceded by a rosary at 9:00 AM. Friends and family are invited to gather in remembrance and celebration of his life.

As we come together to remember Joseph, let us find comfort in the memories shared and the love that he spread during his time with us. He will be dearly missed.

Joseph was preceded in death by his biological parents, JC Herrera and Patsy Tortilla, and Emerson Pino.
