Baldemar was born June 17th, 1952 in Tamaliupas Mexico. He moved to California with his family, where at a young age, he learned discipline and hard work, which made him the strong, wise, handsome, and loving man he became. Baldemar joined the Marines as soon as graduating high school in Redlands California in 1969, serving fours years as Military Police.

Baldemar later moved his family to Virginia in 1998 where he began working with Blue Ridge Behavioral Health in Roanoke, VA as a Behavioral Specialist. He loved being outdoors, whether it be in the yard, the garden, or fixing things up around the house, camping, hiking, fishing, taking his wife and kids to the beach, as long as he was outside. More than anything, Baldemar loved his family and spending time with the ones he loved. Everyone that crossed his path, whether it be family, friends, or stranger, he spread positivity and wisdom. With a warm soul, he made all that surrounded him laugh. He would lift you up when you were down, taught you to work hard and never give up. He once said “ You fall a thousand times, you get back up a thousand times." He will be greatly missed by many.
