Moises Cano Leon

March 5, 1947 — November 14, 2025

Patagonia, AZ

Moises Cano Leon, a devoted father, grandfather, and esteemed member of the community, passed away on November 14, 2025, in Patagonia, Arizona, at the age of 78. Born on March 5, 1947, in Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, Moises carried a deep sense of pride in his heritage throughout his life.

With a remarkable career that spanned over 25 years, Moises dedicated himself to I-J Bar Ranch, where he was not just an employee but a crucial part of the family. His work ethic was a testament to his character; he was known as a very hard worker who committed himself wholeheartedly to everything he did. Beyond his professional life, Moises was a loving father, taking great pride in his children, Yesica Cano and Elisa Cano, and his grandchildren: Luisana Dominguez, Valeria Majalca, Sophia Majalca, Maria Fernanda Rivera, and Santiago Rivera. His family was undoubtedly one of his proudest accomplishments.

Moises is survived by his life partner, Patricia Costich, who brought joy and companionship into his later years. He is also leaves behind his cherished siblings: Rafael Cano, Margarita Cano, Rosa Cano, and Evangelina Ashby, as well as many nieces and nephews who will remember him fondly.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Maria Jesus Tarazon.

Friends and family are invited to celebrate his life and legacy at a memorial service on December 5, 2025, at Martinez Funeral Chapels in Nogales, AZ, starting at 12:00 PM, with a Rosary service at 1:00 PM. The family looks forward to gathering together to honor the memory of a truly remarkable man who touched the lives of so many.

Moises was a true vaquero, embodying the spirit and dedication of ranch life. Over the years, he worked on many local ranches, leaving a lasting impact on those who knew him. Moises was a beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, and friend, deeply cherished by his family and community. His remarkable skills on the ranch were matched only by his passion for horsemanship, which held a special place in his heart.

He will be lovingly remembered whenever good music plays, red chile is shared, and the joy of dancing fills the air. Moises will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege to know him.

Moisés Cano León, padre y abuelo ejemplar, y miembro muy querido de la comunidad, falleció el 14 de noviembre de 2025 en Patagonia, Arizona, a la edad de 78 años. Nacido el 5 de marzo de 1947 en Cananea, Sonora, México, Moisés sintió un profundo orgullo por su herencia durante toda su vida.

Con una destacada trayectoria profesional de más de 25 años, Moisés se dedicó al Rancho I-J Bar, donde no solo fue un empleado, sino una parte fundamental de la familia. Su ética laboral reflejaba su carácter; era conocido por su gran dedicación y entrega total a todo lo que hacía. Además de su vida profesional, Moisés fue un padre amoroso, que sentía un gran orgullo por sus hijas, Yesica Cano y Elisa Cano, y sus nietos: Luisana Domínguez, Valeria Majalca, Sofía Majalca, María Fernanda Rivera y Santiago Rivera. Su familia fue, sin duda, uno de sus mayores logros.

A Moisés le sobrevive su compañera de vida, Patricia Costich, quien le brindó alegría y compañía en sus últimos años. También le sobreviven sus queridos hermanos: Rafael Cano, Margarita Cano, Rosa Cano y Evangelina Ashby, así como numerosos sobrinos y sobrinas que lo recordarán con cariño.

Le precedió en la muerte su amada esposa, María Jesús Tarazón.

Se invita a familiares y amigos a celebrar su vida y legado en una misa conmemorativa el 5 de diciembre de 2025 en las Capillas Funerarias Martínez en Nogales, Arizona, a partir de las 12:00 p. m., con un rosario a la 1:00 p. m. La familia espera reunirse para honrar la memoria de un hombre verdaderamente extraordinario que marcó la vida de tantos.

Moisés fue un auténtico vaquero, que personificaba el espíritu y la dedicación de la vida ranchera. A lo largo de los años, trabajó en numerosos ranchos locales, dejando una huella imborrable en quienes lo conocieron. Moisés fue un esposo, padre, hermano, abuelo y amigo muy querido, profundamente apreciado por su familia y su comunidad. Sus notables habilidades en el rancho solo eran comparables a su pasión por la equitación, que ocupaba un lugar especial en su corazón.

Será recordado con cariño cada vez que suene buena música, se comparta chile rojo y la alegría del baile llene el ambiente. Moisés será profundamente extrañado por todos los que tuvieron el privilegio de conocerlo.
