Anthony Angel Mendoza

Anthony's presence was a gift to those around him, often regarded as the life of the party. His laughter was a melody that could turn any frown upside down, and his willingness to lend a hand to anyone. As an uncle, he was unparalleled. His two nieces and five nephews were the apples of his eye, and he cherished every moment spent with them. Anthony's role as an uncle was one he took with great pride and devotion, always eager to engage in their games, listen to their stories, and celebrate their achievements.

Anthony is preceded in death by his father, Abel Rafael Mendoza Sr. and survived by his mother Lisa Hendricks, his siblings, Marisela Gutierrez, Abel Mendoza Jr., Evangelina Mendoza, Izreal Mendoza, Isayah Mendoza and Namyah Mendoza.

We bid farewell to Anthony Angel Mendoza, a man whose life was a testament to the power of positivity and the strength of the human spirit. May his memory continue to guide us in moments of sorrow and in times of joy, and may we find comfort in the knowledge that his laughter will echo in our lives forever.

A Visitation Service for Anthony will be held on Friday, June 27, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Stratford Evans Merced Funeral Home, 1490 B Street, Merced, California.
