Armando Echeverria

Armando was an extraordinary man whose kindness, strength, and generosity touched everyone who crossed his path. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, businessman, and friend, he worked tirelessly to provide his family with a wonderful life. His family was always his greatest priority and the source of his deepest joy.

From humble beginnings, Armando learned the value of hard work at a very young age. As a little boy, he shined shoes on the streets of Mexico to help support his mother and siblings. At just 15 years old, he came to the United States determined to build a better future. His perseverance and resilience shaped the man he became.

A natural entrepreneur, Armando built E&P Auto Sales from the ground up more than 25 years ago. Through honesty, dedication, and integrity, he earned the trust and loyalty of countless customers, many of whom returned year after year. His work ethic was unmatched, and once he set his mind to a goal, there was no stopping him.

At 19 years old, Armando met the love of his life, and they shared 42 years of marriage together, raising four children. Though he faced many struggles and hardships throughout his life, he never gave up. He remained strong, loving, and determined, always putting others before himself. His greatest happiness came from spending time with his children and grandchildren, enjoying family gatherings, dancing, and traveling together.

Armando was known for his generous spirit. He helped anyone in need—family, friends, and even strangers—without hesitation. His wife passed away in 2016, a loss that deeply affected him. In 2024, he remarried and spent the final years of his life happy and fulfilled.

He is preceded by his daughter, Isabel Montenegro; his sister, Cecilia Elisabeth Montenegro; brother, Victor Raul Montenegro; and his parents, Jose Maximo Echeverria Cabrales and Maria Joaquina Montenegro Lechuga.

He is survived by his children; Victor Raul Echeverria, Oscar Echeverria, Nora E Vidal (Frank), Jesus Armando Echeverria, and Mayela Limas (Mauricio). Along with 11 brothers and sisters, Armando is survived by 14 grandchildren, and numerous great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Armando was truly the pillar and heart of his family. He was deeply loved and admired by so many and will be missed beyond words.
