Pace Asher Wallace passed away, April 8, 2025, in La Junta at the age of 16. He was born September 27, 2008, in La Junta to Dustin and Addie (Crowley) Wallace.
Pace, a sophomore at Las Animas High School, was active in 4-H, FBLA, FFA, and also played baseball for the Trojans during his high school years. He was a talented mechanic, passionate about making anything go fast. He loved riding horses and working cattle with his family. He is known to be a “trader,” always willing to trade anything, and adopted his dad and Ol’ Dad’s philosophy of “there is nothing better than making a trade and having it work.” Pace brought immeasurable joy, light, and laughter into the lives of those that had the privilege to spend time with him.
