Inducted into the Heavenly Hall of Fame July 24th, 2025.
Yesterday late afternoon, our very brave and dear brother Ibarra, victoriously finished his race in this life and departed to be with the Lord. He was embraced by our Savior as he celebrated his arrival home. What can we say about such a remarkable man of God. He lived 102 extraordinary years, a life filled with faith, love, and total dedication to God, a life that truly honored God from the moment he met Christ until the very end.
Our Brother Ibarra was a man completely surrendered to God. He knew what it was like to dwell in the secret place of the Most High and to abide under the shadow of the Almighty. His strength came from the Lord, and this was reflected in every aspect of his life. He lived with humility, purpose, and unwavering faith.
He was a man faithful to God and to his wife and family, living with integrity, generosity, and perseverance. His legacy lives on in his 3 children, 7 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, and in each of us who follow his example of loving deeply, serving humbly, and trusting God with all our hearts. Loyal, honest, hardworking, and honorable, our brother Ibarra left an indelible mark on all of us who had the privilege of knowing him. His smile, his laughter, his kindness, and his sincere friendship will be deeply missed.
We take comfort in imagining the glorious moment when he heard these words from the Lord: “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.”
