Our beloved son, brother, uncle and nephew, Stephen Trujillo, was welcomed into the arms of our Lord on January 1, 2015 at the age of 42. He was born in Springer, NM on July 5, 1972.
Stephen is survived by his mother Mary Louise Montoya and her husband Juan Montoya, sister Sheila Montoya and husband Kenneth Montoya, niece Kendra Montoya (Pancho Caro), niece and Goddaughter Miranda Montoya, nephews Kenneth Montoya, Marcus Montoya and Kevin Smoker; half-brother James Trujillo, niece Adriana and nephews James and Matthew; step brother Charles Montoya (Michelle), nieces Amanda, Angelica, Casandra and nephew Aaron; step brother Joseph Montoya (Trena), nieces Chantel and Makayla, and nephew Nate; step brother Alex Montoya (Andy) and Godmother Pinky Archuleta, several aunts, uncles, cousins, great nieces and nephews. Stephen also leaves behind his beloved puppy, Lukey, who already misses Stephen dearly.
He is preceded in death by his grandmother Rebecca Archuleta, aunt Judy Rivera, uncle Jerry Archuleta, and cousin Anna Marie Archuleta.
Stephen is a graduate of the class of 1990 in Cimarron, NM, as well as a 1991 graduate of the Cosmetology School in Trinidad, CO. Stephen’s greatest joys were his nieces Kendra and Miranda, and nephews Kenneth and Marcus. He loved to dance, play volleyball, and was his sister’s, nieces’ and nephews’ biggest fan. Everyone who knew Stephen knew his fire cracker personality. He could be loud and silly, but was also a very loving and caring person. He spoke his mind, had a heart of gold, and was a good dancer. Among the things people will miss most, are his beautiful smile and awesome personality.
Services will be held in Cimarron, NM on Saturday, January 10, 2015 at 10:00 at Sister Hildegard Parish Hall. A reception will follow and a private burial will be held at a later date.
Rest In Peace my Nephew, you will be missed.
