Pete Soto Nava, a retired laborer, died Monday at a Santa Paula nursing home. He was 93.
Nava was born June 29, 1907, in San Francisco del Rincon, Guanajuato, Mexico. He moved to Ventura County when he was about 13 and had lived here since.
For 35 years, Nava worked as a laborer and was a member of Laborer's Local Union No. 585.
He also was a member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church and La Casa Del Mexicano, both in Santa Paula.
Ranching, taking care of his avocado trees and watching boxing and the Dodgers were among his favorite things to do, his family said.
