Donald Ray Azure

On February 15th 2023 Donald Ray Azure was called home to be with God. He was born on December 29th 1960 and became the pride and joy of his mother, Patricia Ann "Elliott" Ellis. He is survived by his sisters Sandra Ellis and Joanna Azure Smith who blessed him with nephews of his own… Wesley Ellis, Joshua Barnes, Joseph Barnes, Dakota Barnes and Andrew Ellis and they had blessed him with many great nieces and a great nephew. He was a devoted father and friend. He brought into this world six children.. Joshua Azure, Donald(Cody) Azure II, Stephanie Azure, Donald Azure III, Dillon Azure and Desiree Azure. His children were what he considered his biggest blessing in life next to his grandchildren that followed. His children brought him his other blessings… Gabriel Azure-Marrufo, Sophia Azure and Tinslye Sanchez. Donald Azure accepted all children whether they were his own or not. He came into the lives of Corey Gallegos, Doug Cochran and Trevor Bennett at such and early age and had the greatest impact. He was then blessed with grandchildren from them as well, Damian(Jacob) Aguilar, Lorenzo Gallegos, Holden Cochran, Mason Cochran, Morgan Bennett, Aspen Bennett, Trevor Bennett Jr and Bailey Bennett. Anyone who knew him knew his smile was contagious and so was his craziness. He was always home and complete when he was outdoors, especially when he was in the mountains. To say that he will be missed is an understatement. He touched so many lives and we will remember his amazing personality and contagious smile everyday… I know we will see him in the trees and feel him in the air of the mountains because that’s where he would’ve wanted to be.
