On the early morning of November 6, 2020, our beloved, devoted father went peacefully to meet the Lord. Our father, Gilbert "Huero", was born on October 20, 1931 in Superior, Arizona to his parents Alfredo Denogean and Rosa V. Denogean. Lovingly surrounded by his extended Denogean family and after losing his mother at three years of age, Huero grew up in Superior where he met his loving wife, Teresa, and started their family.

Gilbert went on to work for Kennecott Copper mine in Ray, Magma Mine in Superior, and Inspiration Consolidated Copper Company in Christmas, Arizona and later in Miami, Arizona where he retired after thirty years of working as a hoist man operator. He had a strong work ethic and thoroughly enjoyed his job.

After retiring, Gilbert kept busy panning gold, adding to his coin collection, reading his Arizona Highway magazines, visiting his beloved grandchildren, taking trips with them and enjoying his retirement years. He was a doting Tata and was so very proud of his children and grandchildren. He instilled in us all to acquire an education that he did not have the opportunity to pursue.

Gilbert is preceded in death by his loving wife of 67 years, Teresa Urquieta Denogean, son Gilbert Jr., grandson Angel, brothers Arturo, Alfredo and Cesar.

Gilbert is survived by his daughters Terri (Henry), Cynthia (Joe), daughter-in-law Natalie, siblings Mary, Hector, Octavio, and Conchita. He also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren Henry (Irina), Brianna, Nia, Justin and his great-grandson Henry, along with Sisters-in-law Maria, Hortensia, brother-in-law Neto, cousins, nieces and nephews.

We love you so very, very much Daddy. Thank you for being such a loving, generous, caring father, grandfather and great-grandfather. We will miss you so much but know you will once again be with your "Honey", son, and grandson. God bless you Daddy, Vaya con Dios.
