Gilbert Lucero Obituary

Gilbert M. Lucero "Junior" I don't mind dying I just don't want to be there when it happens  Junior was born September 13, 1937 to Juanita and Manuel Lucero in Durango, Colorado. He was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in May 2000, and underwent a bone marrow transplant in February 2001. He was in remission until September 2002 when the multiple myeloma returned. He died at home on July 7, 2003. His wife would like to thank Dr. Ross Morgan and entire staff for their care during this difficult illness. Also sincerest gratitude to Peggy Kobashigawa, Joe Mirabal and Joe Nava for the unselfish giving of their time and love.  Junior's wishes were to be cremated. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donation to the Utah Food Bank.

Junior M. Lucero was my uncle. He was the brother to my father, Jesse Lucero, who passed away in 1972 in Idaho. I remember when Uncle Junior came to his funeral when I was 10 years old in Aberdeen, Idaho. Junior had 6 nieces and nephews, 3 boys and 3 girls. We are all saddened with his passing and wish to extend our condolences and and prayers to his wife, Jolene. Although she knows my brother, Jesse in Ogden best we all send our love.
Our brother Tino, has already signed the guest book.
We wish to send out our love prayers to his children, our cousins. God Bless you during this difficult time. We know what it is to lose a father.

Our mother, Trudy Lucero also sends her love.
