Julio Guerreo Quiroz, age 86, of Broadus, Montana passed away on Tuesday, July 19, 2016 at his home in Casper, Wyoming.
Julio was born on April 21, 1930 to Jesus and Victoria (Guerreo) Quiroz in Sonora, Texas, one of twin boys, born 3rd of six children. He met the love of his life, Juana (Juanita) Soto, and they married in Sonora, Texas on June 13, 1950. To this union sixteen children were born; ten boys and six girls. After living and working in Texas and then Montana for several years, they settled on the Espy Ranch where they lived and worked for approximately 25 years. In 1987 they retired to Casper, Wyoming to be closer to family.
Julio is survived by his children Vickie (Earl) Dillard, Casper, WY, Julio Quiroz, Jr., Casper, WY, Jess Quiroz, Broadus, MT, Margaret Quiroz, Casper, WY Josie Bertelsen, Casper, WY, Alfred (Suzie) Quiroz, Green River, WY, Nathy (Ron) Bacon, Lowville, NY, Arthur (Patty) Quiroz, Miles City, MT, Chano Quiroz, Casper, WY, Johnny (Linda) Quiroz, Biddle, MT, Joe Quiroz, Casper, WY, Robert “Monty” Quiroz, Casper, WY, Thomas Quiroz, Biddle, MT, Anita Sosa, Casper, WY, Juanita (Bill) Smethurst, Casper, WY and numerous grand and great grandchildren plus 2 great great grandchild. Julio was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Junita of 63 years and one son, Doratello “Dodie” Quiroz.
He was a gentle and tender man, with amazing strength and faith; he loved life, loved to laugh and his smile would light up his face. He survived more trials and tribulations than most and always kept his head held high with his contagious smile. When we see a sunset our heart will remember you.
