Virgil "Marcus" Vigil, 52, of Dulce, passed away on Sunday, Nov. 29, 2015. He was born on April 8, 1963, to Howard and Helen (Chavez) Vigil.
Marcus was a rancher and team-roper and lived a good life; a cowboy's dream come true. He team-roped with the USTRA throughout the southwest winning numerous trophy buckles. His quick wit and love will be missed by family and friends. Marcus left and took a piece of our hearts with him.

He is survived by his sons, Chad Vigil, Randall Vigil and Marcayle Vigil; daughters, Kami Vigil and Aricelli Vigil; parents, Howard and Helen (Chavez) Vigil; brother, Randy Vigil; sisters, Doreen Vigil, Diana Muniz, Lisa F. Vigil and Sonja Newton.
