Albert Mendoza

Albert Mendoza, who all knew him as Pinky, was born April 4, 1944. Pinky never married or had children. His love for The Lord was a big part of his life. He was a member of Temple Baptist Church for over 25 years. The charismatic dedication he had for his family, friends, acquaintances to include even the public was fulfilled with an abundance of love. So many years of his life, he endured the ambition of being a fire chief.

Because of his dedicated love he had for the fire department, Pinky made it a daily task to go and visit those he admired to share his thoughts and laughter while drinking his coffee and leaving everyone with a smile.

Not only was his dedication to the fire department but for The Lord. Pinky read his Bible daily and hoped to impact the community for the love he had for The Lord. He did not allow his disabilities to deny the dignity of his happiness and beliefs. He will be missed dearly.

Pinky life brought a smile to everyone’s heart and his passing will leave everyone’s hearts and thoughts instilled with special memories of the life he lived out of pure love.

Pinky is preceded in death by his grandparents, Manuel and Margarita Gonzales; brothers, Richard Garcia, Daniel Cavazos Jr., Francisco Cavazos, and Jessie Juarez; sister, Jesusa (Jackie) Mendoza; and parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel and Amelia Cavazos Sr.

Pinky is survived by his brother and sisters, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur and Helen Arguillo, Mr. and Mrs. Ricardo and Maggie Zapata, Grace Cooper, and David Jennings; aunts and uncles; special nephews and nieces; great nephews and great nieces, Mario, Michelle, Michael and Mary Anne Mendoza; and the remaining of Pinky Family.

And to also acknowledge a special Thank You to Clute Volunteer Fire Department and the City of Clute, Texas for their participation, Temple Baptist Church for their thoughtful services in honor of Pinky.
