Salvador Marentes was born on January 13, 1937, in Tierra Blanca, Zacatecas, Mexico, to Encarnacion and Francisca Marentes. He worked as a rancher in Mexico. He loved attending to his field/crops, cows, goats and pigs. Anything agricultural he loved! Salvador and wife, Maria, moved to Breckenridge in 2002. After moving to Breckenridge, you would often see him riding his bike around his neighborhood. He enjoyed stopping while on his bike ride and visiting with anyone along his route. Salvador enjoyed dancing and was good at it. Salvador will always be remembered as a man that always wore a smile and never complained. Mr. Marentes was a member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
