Cuberto was born on March 20, 1937 in Fabens, Texas to Apolonio and Rafaela Miranda. In Texas is where he began working on the fields leaving his education in the 6th grade. He spent most of his early childhood working the fields in Texas and California harvesting peas, onions, carrots, and cotton. In 1947 Cuberto came to Idaho with his family and made Pocatello his permanent home. He continued to work on the potato and beat fields in Idaho.

He was the oldest to 5 brothers and 5 sisters

Cuberto spent his early years in a band called "Los Caballeros" that he formed with his brothers and friends where he played the accordion & Guitar. He loved music and dancing having a good time with people he loved was always a priority.

On November 16, 1961 he married Amelia Oresco (Miranda) together they had one son, Paul Miranda and One Daughter, Elena Miranda. His family became his new priority and he put his heart and soul into working hard to provide for them. Cuberto worked for the Union Pacific Railroad as a laborer and retired in 1984 when he was severely injured on the job.

He loved living life and loved the outdoors he spent his time with his wife and children camping, fishing and hunting he did this as often as he could and would make it a family affair and include all of his brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews. He also loved to garden and would spend a lot of time on his gardens and his yard. He loved spending as much time as he could with his brothers and you could usually find them under a hood of a car. He loved old cars, buying them and resorting them. His greatest joy though was his little dogs Ricky, Sasha and Midgy.
