Francis Michael Maurer, known to many as Mike, passed away peacefully at his home in Rio Rancho on April 14, 2026, at the age of 83. He was born in Evansville, Indiana, to Frank and Katie Maurer.
Mike is survived by his devoted wife of 62 years, Angela Maurer; sisters Sue Mahan of Las Vegas, New Mexico, and Jo Maurer, and brother David Maurer, both of Tucson, Arizona; sons Sean Michael Maurer (Nicole), Steve Michael Maurer (Tarah), and Scott Michael Maurer (Keisha); and grandchildren Kaden Michael Maurer and Kali Grace. He also leaves behind his cherished cats, Missy and Tasha.
He was preceded in death by his parents Frank and Katie Maurer, sister Ann Maurer, uncles and aunts Erce and Helen Newman and Ben and Daisy Mitchell, and his beloved in-laws David and Ruth Carter.
A 1960 graduate of Sandia High School, Mike attended the University of New Mexico and proudly served two years in the U.S. Army. Professionally, he was the longtime President of Formwork Specialists, Inc., where he led for 35 years with integrity and dedication.
Mike was an avid outdoorsman who loved trout fishing and fly tying, and a talented gardener recognized as a true master of his craft. He was a dedicated member of the New Mexico Trout Club and served as a lector at San Ysidro Church in Corrales, NM.
