 TRUXILLO, CHARLES A. DR. (PROFESSOR) born on May 2, 1953, passed away on February 4, 2015. Dr. Truxillo was a leader of a local Hispano Nationalist Movement seeking independence from the U.S. He was an author in history with published works, "By the Sword and the Cross; Periods of World History and The Moro Wars in the Philippines in the Context of the Ibero-Islamic World War." He was an expert in Spanish Colonial History, World War II and Islam. A true and dynamic revolutionary for justice and social change. We can only hope there will rise an intellect that can take his place. As Dr. Truxillo would say, "by any means necessary." He will be dearly missed. Rest in peace for we shall fight on. He is survived by his mother Marcella Trujillo; brother John M. Trujillo and wife Jessie; his sister Celina Baca; brother Aquiles Trujillo and wife Shannon; his nieces Cesare, Pilar, Sophie, Emma and Andalucia; his nephews Roman and Aquiles; and great-nephew Javier; his friends Robert A.

He was preceded in death by his grandmother Guadalupe Candelaria and his father Charles Trujillo. Dr. Truxillo's life celebration will begin with a Rosary on Tuesday, February 10th at 7pm and a Tridentine Mass on Wednesday, February 11th at 10am. Both services will be held at Sacred Heart Church in Barelas. Pallbearers will be Richard Miller, Mark Lopez, Phil Saiz, Simon Vasquez, Roman Romero and Jacob Salazar.
