Paul Trujillo, 63, was a beloved son, brother, father, uncle, and grandfather whose presence brought love, laughter, and countless memories to those around him.

Paul was a hardworking man who found happiness in the simple things in life. He loved being outdoors, working with his hands, and always having a project to keep him busy. Whether he was building something, working on cars, cutting weeds, or spending time fishing, Paul was happiest when he was doing what he loved. He had a natural talent for carpentry and took great pride in everything he created. His love for cars was another passion, especially his Chevy, and his dream of one day owning a Corvette.

More than anything, Paul loved his family. He was a father who made sure his children knew how to take care of themselves and taught them important lessons that would last a lifetime. From making sure the bills were paid to knowing when it was time to change the oil, he shared the kind of wisdom that only a father could give. He was always just a phone call away, no matter the time of day or night. Whether it was early in the morning or late at night, if someone needed help, Paul was there.

One of his greatest joys in life was being a grandpa to his beloved grandsons, Zayden and Jameson. They brought him so much happiness, pride, and purpose. The time he spent with them created memories that will forever be treasured.

Paul leaves behind a legacy of hard work, determination, love, and lessons that will continue to live on through his children, grandchildren, and family. Though his hands may no longer be busy building, fixing, and creating, everything he taught, everything he built, and every memory he left behind will remain forever.

His family will forever carry his love in their hearts, finding comfort in the memories they shared and the lessons he taught them. Though saying goodbye is never easy, the love he gave will never fade. He will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and always loved.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Antonia Trujillo, father, Jose T. Trujillo, and brothers, Roger Trujillo and Raymond Trujillo.

Paul is survived by his children, Zachary Trujillo, Candace Trujillo, and Mariah Trujillo, grandchildren, Zayden Trujillo and Jameson Vigil, sisters, Vitalia Serrano (Antonio), Mary Ann Vigil, Piedad Chavez (Jose), Ruth Cordova (Donny), and Lupe Gonzales (Simon). brothers, Arturo Trujillo (Cathy), Gabriel Trujillo (Geraldine), Gonzalo Trujillo (Barbara), John Trujillo (Debbie), Teddy Trujillo (Nora), and Karl Trujillo (Christina).
