He wrestled for Moffat County, it was short lived after getting into a confrontation with the coach and he later stopped wrestling. George had a strong work ethic which started at the age of 8 when he delivered newspapers to help with the family. He always knew he had a home in heaven when his life on earth was done. George’s love for the Lord started at an early age and on through his life. George Trujillo was born July 6, 1942, to Joe and Mary Trujillo.
