He was born on January 10, 1939, in Hebbronville, Texas to Andres and Aurora DeLeon. Armando lived a vibrant and fulfilling life devoted to his family and in service to his community, always willing to help whenever he was needed.

He is now reunited in heavenly love with his beloved wife and soulmate of 47 years, Martha DeLeon. He is also preceded in death by his parents Andres Sr and Aurora DeLeon; sisters Carmen Ramon and Yolanda DeLeon; and brother Andres DeLeon Jr.

As we remember Armando, let us cherish the memories we hold dear of his unwavering love, his kindness, and compassion to all that knew him. Though his physical presence may no longer be with us, his legacy will live on in the hearts of everyone he touched in his lifetime.
