The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ March 10, 1999, p. 16 Louis Trujillo Urquides of Wickenburg died March 4 in Sun City. He was 69. Mr. Urquides was born September 23, 1928 in Phoenix and lived in Arizona his entire life. He married his wife Jennie in 1947 and lived in Congress before relocating to Wickenburg in 1970. Mr. Urquides was employed by the Arizona Department of Transportation for more than 33 years and also was a cattle rancher on the Santa Maria River. He loved his family and was well know within the town and outlying areas of the community. To his family, he leaves this: Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond’s glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die. You have memories of times past. Hold onto each of them, for they are what will always keep me within your reach. He will be missed deeply by his family and all the lives he touched while he was with us. Survivors include his wife Jennie of Wickenburg; daughters Norie Cox of Congress and Diane Smith of Wickenburg; eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren and nine great-grandsons; brothers Bobby and Freddie of Wickenburg, Pete of Kingman, and Jimmy and Art of California; sisters Mercedes Rocha of Aguila and Rosie Chaves of California; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father Antonio, mother Evelina, son Richard Lee and brothers, Tony, Johnny and Joe.
