Notable Passing
Of An Infant
Tryten Joseph Lugo, of Temple, TX, who was born on November 23, 2017 to Kriss Edwin Lugo and Tabitha Marie Breeding Lugo, died on Sunday, January 28.
A memorial service will be held for the infant on Saturday, February 17 at the Harper-Talasek Funeral Home with Rev. Steve Sauser officiating.
Burial will occur after the service at Hillcrest Cemetery. His family has ties to the Bronx.
TJ is remembered for acquiring many names because he was born on Thanksgiving.
His godfather, Gianfranco Hembrador, called him ‘turkey juice.’ TJ’s first toy, from his older brother Kyler, was a nativity snow globe.
Tryten was a happy baby and always reached for the sky even while he was sleeping. His smile would warm your heart. He always enjoyed his bath time. He may have been here only a short while but left an everlasting memory.
