Liandro "Lee" Medrano Samilpa

Liandro (Lee) M. Samilpa was called by his heavenly Father on Monday, May 3, 2021. He spent his 84 years of life enjoying woodworking, fishing, camping and softball. As an all-around handyman, he was our “MacGyver”. He was not by any definition a homebody, if there was a festival or event he was there with his wife and his grandchildren. However, it didn’t stop there, he shared his love for the outdoors by taking them on camping trips, fishing trips, and even random walks to the corner store for his favorite snacks. He gave his family the most wonderful memories that they will cherish forever.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Abraham Samilpa and Gregoria Medrano; spouse, Frances Samilpa; brother, Pete Samilpa; sister, Frances Gatica (Johnny) and grandson, Samuel Jacob Jaramillo.

Lee is survived by brother, Ysidro Samilpa Sr. (Angelina✝️); sisters, Molly Tobias (Nate), Marcelina Avila (Pedro), San Juana Castillo (Jesse); his children, Rosemary Jaramillo (Daniel) and Eloy Samilpa Sr.; grandchildren, Arnold Gonzales (Elisa), Eloy Samilpa Jr. (Desere), Sara Rose Anthony (Tim), Marina E. Jaramillo (Sterling) and MariaCruz Jaramillo; great-grandchildren, Ethan, Eviana, Alyssa Rose, Malachi, Maximus and Eric Daniel.
