My ex-husband, Dorateo (Skeeter) Lasa passed yesterday Jan, 30, 2010 while bird hunting near Paradis Valley, NV. It was a near instant death. At this time we are assuming it was a massive heart attack. There will be no public viewing and Skeeter will be cremated. A service will be held this weekend, Friday, Feb, 5th. He was a good father.
