Jerry Trujillo, 79, was born in Colfax county, New Mexico and resided with his family in
Denver, Colorado, when he passed, in his home in the early morning of September 29th.
He was a caring beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, uncle and friend.
Reunited with his wife of 56 years, Jacklin Trujillo, that preceded in passing only 7 days prior.
He is survived by children Gabriel D & Bernadette Trujillo, Ezekiel Trujillo & Rebekah Quintana and numerous beloved grandchildren: Estrella Tafoya, Adelina Herrera, Gabriella Trujillo, Gabriel Trujillo, Vincent Burroughs, Nicholas Orr-Trujillo, Tamara Trujillo, Angelique Hilliard, Ezekiel D. Trujillo, Emily Jorgensen, Adrian Trujillo & Joseph Trujillo;
and great grandchildren
Yazmina Trujillo, Ourania Torres, Nariah Trujillo, Thomas Hernandez, Nicholas Vigil, Ava Vigil,
Sofyia Hernandez & Gabriel D. Trujillo III.
A kind, loving, affectionate father and grandfather that spoke his heart.
Lighthearted yet stern, his playfulness was treasured.
He loved when there were opportunities of togetherness. Being with family was more important than any earthly possessions. "Sharing responsibilities" was not only an expectation he held high but a way of living and regarded as an honorable effort.
Retired journeyman painter, his trade skills passed down and esteemed by various members of the family that will indeed hold many fond memories forever to attribute to such a respected tradesman.
A joint memorial Service will be held not only in honor of his life but the life and love he & his wife shared together, after cremated remains are received by the family.

As he was devout in his spiritual and religious convictions the following Psalm he would have liked to be honored in his memory.
Tehillim - Psalms - Chapter 118
1 Give thanks to the Lord because He is good, for His kindness is eternal.
2 Israel shall now say, "For His kindness is eternal."
3 The house of Aaron shall now say, "For His kindness is eternal."
4 Those who fear the Lord shall now say, "For His kindness is eternal."
5 From the straits I called God; God answered me with a vast expanse.
6 The Lord is for me; I shall not fear. What can man do to me?
7 The Lord is for me with my helpers, and I shall see [revenge] in my enemies.
8 It is better to take shelter in the Lord than to trust in man.
9 It is better to take shelter in the Lord than to trust in princes.
10 All nations surrounded me; in the name of the Lord that I shall cut them off.
11 They encircled me, yea they surrounded me; in the name of the Lord that I shall cut them off.
12 They encircled me like bees; they were extinguished like a thorn fire; in the name of the Lord that I shall cut them off.
13 You pushed me to fall, but the Lord helped me.
14 The might and the cutting power of God was my salvation.
15 A voice of singing praises and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the Lord deals valiantly.
16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted; the right hand of the Lord deals valiantly.
17 I shall not die but I shall live and tell the deeds of God.
18 God has chastised me, but He has not delivered me to death.
19 Open for me the gates of righteousness; I shall enter them and thank God.
20 This is the Lord's gate; the righteous will enter therein.
21 I shall thank You because You answered me, and You were my salvation.
22 The stone that the builders rejected became a cornerstone.
23 This was from the Lord; it is wondrous in our eyes.
24 This is the day that the Lord made; we shall exult and rejoice thereon.
25 Please, O Lord, save now! Please, O Lord, make prosperous now!
26 Blessed be he who has come in the name of the Lord; we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
27 The Lord is God, and He gave us light. Bind the sacrifice with ropes until [it is brought to] the corners of the altar.
28 You are my God and I shall thank You; the God of my father, and I shall exalt You.
29 Give thanks to the Lord because He is good, for His kindness is eternal.
