Florencio Hurtado Duarte

Florencio Hurtado Duarte, 55, of Riverbank CA, passed away August 29, 2019. He was born in Villa Mendoza Michoacán, Mexico on March 5, 1964. Florencio established his long-term career as a Class A Truck Driver for 15 years in Silverado Building Materials and Nursery. He was a member of the Saint Frances Catholic Church and had a passion for the beach, religion, gardening as well as camping, music and his family. During almost every holiday or camping trip that he would celebrate with his family, he would bring out one of his many instruments to then fill our ears with the sound of celebratory music. This modest individual was also known as a Humanitarian who generously provided monthly donations to orphans. His compassionate and empathetic gestures reassured those around him that he would always provide his unconditional support when needed. He was quite the storyteller in our family and filled with endless dreams that truly showed how goal orientated he was. One of Florencio’s biggest dreams was to see his house that he was building in Mexico completed and finish off his retirement days in the land he loved so much.

Without fail, Florencio would go above and beyond to make sure that his family would not go unsupported financially nor spiritually. Without fail, this kind-hearted man would provide the comfort of his silent companionship in the house and never failed to provide food when needed. Florencio's parents Victoria Duarte Moreno and Florencio Hurtado Valadez. He was a phenomenal role model for his younger sister’s Gudelia Serrato and Elidia Hurtado Duarte. A memorable and kind-hearted stepbrother to Rogelio Hurtado, Miguel Hurtado and Elena Hurtado. An astonishing hero to his 11 nieces and nephews. A remarkable companion to Raul Serrato, Brian Azucena, and Irma Duarte. Lastly, he was an exceptional father to his animals Buddy and Polo Hurtado Duarte.
