Fimbres, Federico V., 85, of Tucson, passed peacefully in his sleep August 27, 2020. He was born April 15, 1935. Federico (aka Fred, Freddie, and Moose) proudly served in the USAF and spent his 35-year military career as a jet aircraft mechanic. He received many commendations, and retired as a Master Sergeant with the 162nd Air National Guard. Known for his charm and megawatt smile, he never met a stranger, loved extended road trips, and was always the life of the party and the last to leave the dance floor.

He is survived by daughters Valerie Fimbres (Dave Wilson) of Tulsa, OK, Deborah (Mike) Parisi of Las Vegas, NV, and Suzanne Fimbres of Tucson; son Roberto Fimbres (Brenda Boulier) of Pueblo, CO; stepson Antonio Polanco of Tucson, five grandchildren, sisters Mary (Manuel) Gallardo and Gloria Quihuis, brother Rudy Fimbres, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
