Armando Sifuentes-Alvarado, beloved father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on March 27, 2025. He was born on September 13, 1954, in Durango, Mexico, and was a proud son of his heritage, always holding a deep love for the traditions and culture that shaped him. Armando’s life journey was one marked by hard work, dedication, and love for his family, traits that endeared him to all who knew him.

Armando came to the United States with dreams of building a better future, and he worked tirelessly to provide for his three sons. He was a proud naturalized U.S. citizen, cherishing the opportunity to give his family the life they deserved.

His love for life and his active lifestyle extended to his hobbies, with his passion for gardening being one of his greatest joys.

His generosity knew no bounds—he was the type of person who would give you the shirt off his back, always ready to lend a hand and make those around him feel valued.

A man of integrity, kindness, and unshakable loyalty, Armando leaves behind a legacy of love and selflessness. He will be dearly missed by family, friends, and all who were fortunate to know him. His memory will live on in the hearts of those he touched.
