Victor Sias, Jr., 66, died at 10:50 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 26, 2021.
Victor was born Aug. 16, 1955, in Weslaco, TX but lived his whole life in Weld County, CO (which he loved). He worked multiple blue-collar jobs throughout his life but loved his time as a school bus driver for St. Vrain Valley School District most. Before health issues began affecting his mobility, he loved fishing. When his children were younger, he and his wife spent countless hours with them exploring the Colorado High Country. Later in life he loved making gospel music and learning as much about his Christian faith as possible. He hosted a YouTube channel where he discussed theological (particularly eschatological) issues from a layman’s perspective.
He is survived by his wife, Juanita Sias (ne Saenz); his sons, Jeremy Sias (married to Kelly – Frederick, CO) and Jason Sias (married to Christina – Firestone, CO); daughters, Veronica Kraehenbuehl (married to Nathan – Pass Cristian, MS) and Valerie Velasco (married to Fernando – Platteville, CO); brothers David Sias (married to Susan – Louisville, CO), Samuel Sias (married to Susan – Dacono, CO) and Daniel Sias (Denver, CO); sister Amelia Losino (Longmont, CO); and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces and grandchildren (whom he loved beyond measure).
He is preceded in death by his parents, Victor Sias, Sr. and Adelina G. Sias and his beloved sister Virginia (Ginny) Sias.
Viewing will be held from 6 – 8 PM, Friday, January 7th, at Breakthrough Ministries (530 Cherry Ave; Dacono, CO). Funeral services will be held at 9 AM on Saturday, January 8th at the same location. Burial will be held at Mount Pleasant Cemetery (520 Colliers Blvd.; Erie, CO 80516) immediately following the funeral service.
