Source: Junior Vargas

We are saddened to announce the passing of Remigio “Junior” Vargas, a resident of Fallon, NV for the last 40 years. He took his final breath in his home at 11 p.m. on November 14, 2024.

The 7th of 13 children, born on September 26, 1949, in the small railroading town of Battle Mountain, NV, Junior spent his childhood there where he graduated as a Longhorn. As a trade worker involved in the mining and processing of metals, he spent a few years in El Paso, TX. He later returned to Nevada to live out the duration of his life.

He is survived by his four children, Vincent, Crystal, Candice, and Pasqual; his grandchildren Mariah, Adrian, Cameron, Jayden, Carter, Bryce, Jaxtin, Logan and Emma; and his remaining brothers and sisters and numerous extended relatives.

A viewing will be held at Smith Family Funeral Home on Monday, November 25 starting at 10 a.m. followed by a public Mass of Celebration at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church at 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow the mass at the Fallon cemetery. Following the graveside services at the cemetery, a reception/luncheon will be held back at St. Patrick’s church hall.

“Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.”

This is a reminder that we as citizens live in a representative form of government and why it is so important that we vote as voting is our way of making our voice heard.

When we bought our land in Kingston, Sis regaled us with her stories of gatherings at the old restaurant & bar on the way to Groves lake. Sis often said, 'What happens in Kingston stays in Kingston!' Fun & funny lady. Comment publication date: 9/8/26, 5:58 PM Comment source: Marilyn J. “Sis” Banovich Comment author: Ruth Fiege Comment text: So sorry for the pain your family is suffering. She is in comfort of Jesus arms. This is Ruth Fiege, Gary's cousin from WI. I can't begin to imagine the pain your family is suffering. So much comfort in knowing she and baby are with Jesus. God Bless you all during this tragedy.
