Mr. Contreras was born March 17, 1926 in Durango, Mexico to Sotera (Galvan) and Reymundo Contreras. He married the love of his life, Elvira Ramirez, on February 19, 1949 and moved his family to Seminole, Texas in 1962 to farm. This ultimately led to a supervisor job at Pioneer Gin that he held for 30 years. He loved horses and watching rodeo as it reminded him of his roping days in his younger years at the family ranch back in Mexico. Narciso had a quiet demeanor but a great sense of humor. He was also a talented sketch artist and was quite lucky at the slot machines in Las Vegas, Nevada, which was a joy for him, a place he loved going with his wife and family. He loved working in his yard and landscaping at his home up until his nineties, and was awarded yard of the week a few years ago.

Narciso Contreras passed away Thursday, February 10, 2022 at his home in Seminole, Texas. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife, Elvira Contreras; four brothers, and three sisters.
