Jose Andrew Luis Lucero "Louie" was born on November 3rd 1953 in Durango, Colorado and died peacefully on September 2nd 2025 in his home town.

He worked for King Coal Mine in Hesperus, Colorado for 10+ years and then in Silverton, Colorado in the Gold Mines for a couple more years. Jose loved to be around Family and Friends and loved to entertain everyone with his Guitar. He had a voice of an Angel and passed on his talents to his kids and made them Musicians. He always looked forward to Hunting Season and always came home with some "Carne Seca"! He also loved working on his cars and spending time outdoors camping and fishing. He cared for everyone and would give the shirt off his back for you.

He is survived by his Spouse Rosemarie Valdez and Children: Alberto, Augustine, Sophia, James, Tracy, Antoinette, Gidgett, and David. He is also survived by his Siblings: Joseph Lucero, Mae Jaramillo, Jose Gallegos, and Baltazar Gallegos. He had many Uncles that were Brothers of his Mother.
