David Griego Obituary

Visit the Trujillo Family Funeral Home website to view the full obituary.

Don’t think of him as gone away-- His journeys just begun

Life holds so many facets-- This earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting

From the sorrows and the tears 

In a place of warmth and comfort

Where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing 

That we could know today 

How nothing but our sadness

Can really pass away. 

And think of him as living 

In the hearts of those he touched…

For nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much.

David grew up in Los Lunas where he graduated from Los Lunas High School before beginning his career in the construction industry.
