Thomas Max Jaramillo

1961 ~ 2019

On Monday, April 1, 2019, many of us lost a loving, caring, one of a kind friend, father, son, brother, uncle, grandfather, and husband—Thomas Max Jaramillo. While his life may have been cut short, it was nothing short of exceptional and remarkable, having left behind a profound imprint upon the hearts of countless people.

Thomas was born to Isais Max Jaramillo and Claudia Marie Jansen on March 8, 1961 in Ogden, Utah, Thomas was the first of five children. At an early age, it was evident Thomas had a deep love for the outdoors. On any given day you could find him exploring nature, camping, fishing, shooting guns, bow hunting, working on cars, cooking or making his famous hot salsa. He loved attending church, camp meetings, testifying to the youth and attending revivals. He loved to collect old knives and would gift to those closest to him. He was an artist and loved to airbrush paint, weld and silversmith. He loved to tell stories of his life and make everyone laugh. He was a great chef, could whip up anything anywhere and everyone loved his cooking.

Thomas was preceded in death by his father Isais, brothers David and Mark, step-father Ronald Jansen.

Thomas was survived by five children with Susie Chacon, sons Thomas, Arlando, daughters Jenna, Latisha, and grandsons Elias, Daniel and Marcelino. Youngest son Isaiah with Mildred Begaye. Brother, Paul (Kandie), nieces Kinsie and Kamie. Sister Valarie Cassity, Mother, Claudia Jansen, Nieces Valerie Lynn and Amaya.
