He was born in Laramie, Wyoming to Francisco and Calletana (Delgado) Caudillo, and was the second to the youngest of 13 children. He was part of a large, close knit family and enjoyed spending time with his brothers, sisters, cousins, and his many nieces and nephews.
He graduated from Laramie High School in 1962, where he was a Wyoming State Champion wrestler. He shared his love of wrestling with his grandson Alex (Graham) who was two time State wrestling placer in Colorado. He was proud to serve for 12 years in the National Guard and the U.S. Army.
Through the years, he enjoyed travel, hiking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, reading, and spending time in the outdoors. He enjoyed woodworking and carved dozens of hiking sticks to share with family and friends. He loved observing nature and wildlife and spent a great deal of time in Rocky Mountain National Park. Nothing brought him more peace than fly-fishing in the mountain streams.
He received his associate’s degree from the National Electronics School in Denver. He worked at IBM and Lexmark International in Boulder and retired as a Senior Maintenance Technician after 25+ years.
He had an infectious smile, and enjoyed making those around him laugh. He will be most remembered for his love of life, and his wonderful sense of humor.
He is survived by his wife Sue (Liddell), his daughter Marni Graham (Mike), his son Alan Caudillo (Alana), his grandchildren Chelsey Anthony (Kevyn), Alex Graham, Annick, Malia, and Degefe Caudillo, and his great grandson Chancellor Anthony.
He is also survived by his brothers Frank Caudillo, Jess Caudillo (Julie), Matt Caudillo (Peggy), Al Caudillo (Phyllis), Larry Caudillo (VirJean), and his sisters Janie Knowles, Jo Merrill (Steve), Margie Padgett (Emil), Anna Vigil (Jim), and many nieces and nephews. He has been reunited in heaven with his parents, his sisters Bea Silva (John), and Tula Aragon (Henry), and his brother Joaquin “Porky” Caudillo (Betty Jo).
