Alonzo was born May 9, 1957. He was a life-long learner and shared his passion for art, music, dance,
science, space, magic, and technology with his family and friends. He encouraged and inspired people
to follow their dreams. Alonzo had many talents and took pride in his work. He spent much of his life as
a printer and graphic designer and loved all things creative. He moved with his family to Colorado.
Alonzo spent his final years in his hometown of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Alonzo’s wishes were to not have any formal funeral or service. He only wanted to be returned to the
earth, and remain part of the cycle of life. We will plant his Living Urn and a tree in remembrance.
