Armando Edward Alvarado passed away on Saturday, October 3, 2020 in Austin, Texas at the age of 63. Armando was dearly loved by his wife Yolanda and their daughter, Sofia Alvarado. He is survived by his brother Ernest Gomez, his mother Mary Lou Garcia, and his nieces and nephews. Armando will be fondly missed.
Armando worked as a journeyman electrician for IBEW local 520. In his free time, he enjoyed working or sitting in his truck having a cold beer and cigarette after a hard day at work. He also loved to watch Law and Order, Judge Judy, and the Dallas Cowboys. But more than that, he cherished the time he spent watching his daughter Sofia play in the front yard as a child. He was also responsible for giving his wife Yolanda many gray hairs, but not without saying "I love you" for any reason under the sun. Armando's tremendous strength and loving nature will be remembered in the hearts of many. He will forever be missed and cherished, never forgotten.
A visitation for Armando will take place on Sunday, October 11, from 5 pm until 8 pm in the chapel of Cook-Walden Forest Oaks Funeral Home, with a rosary beginning at 6 pm. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Ignatius Martyr Catholic Church on Monday, October 12, at 10 am and will be immediately followed by a Rite of Committal at Cook-Walden Forest Oaks Memorial Park.
