Roberto "Beto" Cardoza Sr.

A proud Marine, Beto served his country with honor and bravery. His sense of duty extended beyond his military service, as he dedicated his time to the Sandy Oaks Volunteer Fire Department, providing vital support and protection to his community.

Beto's commitment to helping others continued at the District 5 Senior Center, where he was a cherished member. His presence brought comfort and companionship to many, and he was always willing to lend a hand.

In his free time, Beto found joy in various hobbies. He was a talented woodworker, crafting beautiful pieces. He enjoyed small engine repair and enjoyed the challenge of solitaire. He often shared jokes that brought laughter to those around him.

Beto was preceded in death by his parents, Pedro Cardoza, Sr. and Juanita Cardoza; brothers, Pedro Cardoza, Jr., Guadalupe Villarreal and Jose Villarreal; sisters, Eduviges "Vicky" Alviar and Balvina Vasquez.
