Carpenters Local 1977 & Tru Service Group, Las Vegas, NV
March 16, 1964 – August 25, 2021
Heriberto Delgado, 57, was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and raised in Tijuana, Mexico. He moved to California at the age of 24 and moved to Las Vegas 30 years ago. He worked for TRU Service Group in Las Vegas for more than five years and was a member of Carpenters Local 1977. His co-workers shared online: “We lost a great man, Hery Delgado. He was a proud union member of the local 1977 here in Las Vegas and worked for TRU Service Group along with many other companies in the Las Vegas area.” — Louis Rossi
“This morning I woke up to some terrible news. I lost a co-worker from Tru Service Group, Hery Delgado. This one is hard because I would never think I would be typing this. He was one of the hardest working people on the convention show floor as a carpenter and I learned so many things from him. I think the biggest thing I learned from him, without him telling me but by showing example, was that family is most important. RIP my brotha Hery.” — Earnest King
“Rest In Peace my brother. You were one of the best humans I’ve ever met. It sucks that you were taken away from all of your family and friends, but God must have had bigger plans for you with him. See you on the other side brother.” —David Brueck
“He was a great man who always had a smile on his face. We worked together at Tru.” — Angela Brueck
“He was such a good guy. I loved being on jobs with him always. He was the first person I went up on a ladder with, since then he’s been a great friend and great co-worker. He will be missed a ton.” —Dan Sicc Little
“Hery Delgado will greatly be missed. A man with a huge heart. We love you! Rest in peace.” — Jonathan Liliana Tuitele

“Damn man, this sucks. Great dude. But he’s in a better place.” —James Patrick
“I wish we could have worked another 10 years before this happened. God works in mysterious ways.” — Eddie Delgado
