Jesus "Chuch" Trujillo Obituary
Class of 2013

Jesus "Chuch" Trujillo, 93, was born Jan. 2, 1928, in Pueblo, Colo., and passed on Nov. 28, surrounded by the family who loved him most. Jess was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Mary Trujillo; Erme Carrillo; his wife, Rose; children, Dickie and Patty Trujillo; brothers, Dave and Dan Carrillo, Dan T. and Teto Trujillo; sisters, Veva Alexander and Maggie Fernandez; and his sister-in-law, Dolores Carrillo. He is survived by his brother, Pete "Fato" Carrillo Jr.; his children, Vickie Esquivel, Mike (Debbie) Trujillo, Jackie "Pix" (Dave) Martinez and Chuck (Natalie) Trujillo; and his daughter-in-law, Berniece Trujillo. Papa Jess was blessed with 15 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild, five greatgranddogs, his turtle, Pepe; and many other numerous extended family and friends. Along with those who had a special place in his life are, Dr. Ivan Hendren, Alvin Quintana, Kipp Stupar, Voni Trujillo, Rebecca Alexander, Jake, and Nickel.

He was honorably discharged from the United States Army in 1947, he umpired baseball and softball games, becoming a household name on the diamond for over 40 years and was inducted into the Softball Hall of Fame in 2013. He was an avid Raiders fan, always willing to place a bet on his team and the horse races. He loved traveling with his sweetheart, Jess, to her softball games and he looked forward to his Wednesday lunch dates with his granddaughter, Rebecca Rose. Chuch was also infamous for giving nicknames to those close to him.

The family would like to thank the nurses, doctors, and the Respiratory Department from St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center for their effortless care and compassion during this time. We are forever grateful. At his request, cremation. Memorial service information to follow for a later date. Online condolences. www.angeluspueblo.com.
