Miguel David Trujillo, 71, born on May 12, 1953, in Fairview, Espanola, NM, passed away at his home on October 21, 2024, in Questa, NM. David married his childhood sweetheart in July 1972 and was a devoted husband of 52 years to Rebecca “Becky,” and a loving father to their three children, Fred, Roberto, and Anita. He was the proud grandfather of Andrew, James, Kenneth, Mercedes, Kristopher, Alexius, Rylan, Brannyn, and Tayler.

In 1980, David moved his family from Ely, NV, to Questa, NM, where he worked and retired from the Molycorp mine. He also owned the local D&R Mustang in Questa for many years. A dedicated family man, he enjoyed watching his San Francisco 49ers and spending time with loved ones. Always willing to help, he contributed to the rebuilding of Questa’s St. Anthony’s Catholic Church and welcomed everyone into his family and community.

David is preceded in death by his parents, Juan and Ursusenia Trujillo, his brother Gilbert Trujillo, his sister JoAnn Lucero, his mother-in-law Mercedes Mascarenas, and his son, Miguel David Jr. Trujillo. He is survived by his wife Rebecca, their children and grandchildren, his brothers Juan and Leroy Trujillo, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

David’s family will carry on his legacy of love and kindness. He will be remembered for his generosity, laughter, and the warmth he shared with those around him. Rosary was recited on Friday, November 8, at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Questa, followed by Mass. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Miguel’s memory to The American Cancer Society: donate.cancer.org. The family extends heartfelt gratitude to all who offered support, visits, calls, and prayers.
