Venceslado (Ben or Vence) Luis Trujillo passed away at home on April 13,2024 in Oak Hills, California at the age of 81. He was born on May 18, 1942 in Magdalena, New Mexico to Luis and Adelina Trujillo.
He grew up in Socorro, New Mexico with siblings Esther, Didia, Julia, Rosie and Leroy. He joined the United States Air Force in 1964 and fought in the Vietnam War in 1968-1969. When he returned from the war, he married Alicia Mendiola. He raised a son named Armando and a daughter named Adelina. He had six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
I believe many will remember him as a loving, caring, funny and stubborn man. He will be missed!
He was laid to rest at Riverside National cemetery.
