Eric Marlow, age 37, a resident of Rio Rancho NM, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, due to a motorcycle accident. He was affectionately known as "Marlow".
He is survived by his son, Daniel (Danny) Marlow; his parents, David and Shirley Marlow; his fiancé, Joleen Mascareñas; his grandparents, Arthur and Helen Sandoval; Joan Gallegos; and Dr. Arnoldo and Bea Vento; his sister, Erin Marlow and her husband, MSgt. Ismael Hidalgo; his niece and nephew, David Marlow-Hidalgo and Ava Hidalgo, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
He was preceded in death by his best friend and brother, Daniel (Dan-E) Garcia.
He was born on September 8, 1986, in Las Vegas, NM, where he lived most of his life. He graduated from Robertson High School in 2005. He spent the majority of his career working as a Land Surveyor for Dawson Surveys in Santa Fe, NM. In addition to being a land surveyor, he was a man of many talents to include remodeling and painting homes, ranching, landscaping, and repairing cars. In his free time, he enjoyed spending time with his family, specifically his son Danny.
Eric knew no stranger, and his kindness was evident to everyone that he met, whether it was picking up a hitchhiker on the side of the road or taking out the trash bins for his neighbors. He always took care of others before himself. His hobbies included riding motorcycles, fishing, hunting, and camping and he was happiest when he was doing these things with his friends and family. He was taken too soon and will be greatly missed.
