Shafie Hindi

Shafie Hindi,age 94, passed away Monday, January 20, 2020. He was born in Duran, NM on March 13, 1925. His father, Alex Hindi was born in Lebanon.  He came to New Mexico in the early 1900s, where he met and married Clarita Duran. The town of Duran was named after Shafie's grandfather, Ventura  and great uncles, Blas and Espiridion.  Both the Durans and the Hindis have a six generation history of sheep ranching.  

A rancher all his life, Shafie loved nothing more than to pass the day driving the bumpy ranch roads tending to fences, waters and livestock.  He is survived by wife, Emma Hindi, sons, Joseph Hindi (Soledad), Rached Hindi(Juanette), John  Hindi(Pamela), Alex Hindi, daughter, Rebekah Hindi, brother, Sam Hindi and twelve grandchildren, Derek, Skylar, Brett, Adrienne, Keelin, Brittnei, Shane, Amira, Joachim, Jana, Gabriele, Elliana, and nine great grandchildren,Ava, Chrishna,Killian, Emma, Isolde, Liam, Olivia and twins Magnus and Rafael who he call the "cowboys".

An Avid reader and history buff, he loved to discuss politics and current events. He loved gardening, a daily bowl of pinto beans, a good cigar, and an occasional shot of Jim Beam.  His outlook  on life was, "Well, I just don't know". "Vamos a ver" (we shall see).

He will be greatly missed, and yes, we just don't know, but for sure, vamos a vernos un dia Shafie. 

Hasta luego, adios...
