EMILIO Orlando Lujan, born on April 29, 1937, in the Coyote Canyon Mountains of Mora, New Mexico, passed away peacefully at home in Alamosa surrounded by family on Wednesday April 5, 2023. 

Emilio’s parents and seven siblings predeceased him. 

Emilio is survived by his wife of 62 years Patricia Lujan (Gallardo), three daughters Carol Lujan Osborn (David), Shannon Lujan (Mark Jones), Tisha Lujan Martin (Mike) and grandchildren Taylor Strange (Brittany), Aron Martin (Amanda), Randi Martin (Eric Pinon), Kristen Osborn Husmann (Tyler) and Austin Trujillo and great grandchildren Kade, Jace, Palmer, Paityn, Brooklyn and Paisley. 

Uncle Emilio also had a special love for his nieces and nephews including his special great niece Emma who will all miss him very much.

Romero’s Funeral Home is in care of arrangements. A viewing is scheduled for Tuesday, April 11, 2023, from noon to 4 p.m. at Romero’s Funeral Home in Alamosa. The Rosary will take place Wednesday April 12, 2023, at 9:30 a.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Alamosa followed by the Funeral Service at 10 a.m.

Emilio Lujan will be laid to rest at the Alamosa Cemetery following the church Service.

Emilio humbly and honorably served in the Colorado Army National Guard for 14 years. “Miley” as many called him didn’t know a stranger and you didn’t have to guess what he was thinking. 

Emilio may best be remembered for his 31-year career with AmeriGas providing exceptional service in the San Luis Valley and Northern New Mexico or cruising his classic Plymouth GTX that he and Pat bought new in 1968.

More importantly, Emilio will be remembered for the love of family, his bride Pat and his three girls.

There was nothing Emilio wouldn’t do for his girls … absolutely nothing. 

Rest in Peace Dad.
