Joe A. Bierner, 79, of Silver City, NM passed away Thursday, December 25th at Gila Regional Medical Center. Joe was born October 14, 1941 in Hot Springs, NM. He was the son of Joe M. Bierner and Ruth A. Bierner. Joe was born and raised on ranches in Sierra County. He was lovingly known as “Little Joe”, “Little Hot Shot”, and later “Joe Texaco”. He definitely learned the cowboy code. He lived it. Live each day with courage. Take pride in your work. Always finish what you start. Do what has to be done. Be tough; but fair. When you make a promise, keep it. Talk less, say more. He was a member of the Sheriff’s Posse and Lions Club. He was a team roper and enjoyed his horses, music, beer, scraping, playing pool and cutting wood. He had an appreciation for Western art. He was an old cowboy with integrity and a man of his word.

He is survived by four children, Brenda Calahan, William Billy Bierner, Bernadette Bierner (Johnny Arroyo), Brian Bierner (Crystal); his grandchildren, Nichole Hernandez (Eddie), Joshua Navarro, Damien Robles (Andrea), Destiny Robles, Briana and Brittany Bierner; ten great grandchildren; numerous special friends and neighbors, and extended family. He was preceded in death by his loving wife Ernestine Murillo Bierner; his parents, his in-laws, Joe G. Murillo and Thelma Sierra Murillo; one sister, Edwina Taylor.

He will be taken to his final resting place in Monticello, NM at a later time. As his headstone says: He believed. The last goodbyes the hardest on to say—And this where the cowboy rides away. Dad: Your life was a blessing and your memory a treasure, you are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

Cremation has taken place at Terrazas Crematory.
