Armando is preceded in death by Francisco Valdez Barrios (grandfather), Maria Concepción Vara Carillo (grandmother) and Armando Garcia Dominguez (father)

One of Armando's biggest accomplishments was being a father and grandfather. He had always wanted children and grandchildren even more and considered himself lucky enough to have five children who gave him 19 grandchildren. His grandchildren brought him so much love and joy. He was always there for his children through their ups and downs and taught them to enjoy every moment life has to offer and to never give up and to take extra care of his grand babies. His joy was bringing his family and friends together for BBQs. He would sit back and watch everyone enjoying themselves, laughing and having a good time while enjoying a cold one. Armando was the patriarch of his family and will be greatly missed by them.

A Visitation / Rosary Service will be held at 1pm, on August 22, 2020 at Castillo Mission Funeral Home, 520 N. General McMullen Drive, San Antonio, TX 78228
