June 2, 1937 — June 15, 2021

Our loving father passed peacefully over to our Heavenly Father on Tuesday, June 15, 2021, at the age of 84.

He was a loving and kind man with a vast knowledge of just about anything the conversation held. Dad was a hardworking man all his life and always lent a hand to anyone in need. He had a contagious smile and a very witty attitude, always joking about one thing or another.

Willie was born June 2, 1937, in Mora, N.M., to Guillermo and Maggie Lujan. They later moved to Utah. He married Linda Valdez and had two children and later divorced. He then married Jennie Cordova Lujan and had three children that they raised together in Eureka, Utah. Willie and Jennie left the Utah area to settle down and retire in the beautiful resort town of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

Dad was preceded in death by his wife, Jennie Lujan; mother and father; his brother, Ernest Lujan and his son, Victor Lujan.

He is survived by four sons, Steve Lujan (Claudia), Anthony Lujan of Roy, Utah, Tommy Lujan and Paul Lujan, both of Coeur d'Alene. He is also survived by his eight grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; brothers Charlie Lujan (Carla) and Robert Lujan (Robin); and his sisters, Rose Pena, Emma Maez (Billy) and Tina Hernandez.

There will be a visitation held from 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, June 23, 2021, at English Funeral Chapel, 1133 N. Fourth St., Coeur d'Alene.
