Gilbert A. Bejarano, age 71 of Globe, passed away Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012, at Kindred Phoenix Hospital. Gilbert Araujo Bejarano was born in Miami, Ariz. to Roque and Clemencia Bejarano.
He attended Bullion Plaza grade school and Miami High School. He followed in his Dad's footsteps and went to work for Miami Copper Company and stayed employed with the local copper companies until his retirement.
