He was an avid hunter who sought solace in the outdoors and never missed the opportunity to engage in an adventurous sport. On any given day, he could be found on the golf course, a sport in which he excelled. Leroy will always be remembered as the great friend he was to so many others. A celebration of life was held on Saturday November 25th which was attended by many family and friends. In honor of Leroy Arthur Trujillo, reach out and share some kindness and respect to others; that is what he would want, that is what he always did.
