Alamosa resident Gerald M. Mondragon passed away December 18, 2018 at the San Luis Care Center after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Gerald was born on June 4, 1962 in Alamosa, Colorado the son of Joe and Lena Mondragon. Gerald lived most of his adult life in Denver, where he worked as an electrician. Gerald was an avid sports fan and enjoyed all sports, including college sports. He especially enjoyed watching the Denver Broncos and the Colorado Rockies.
