Abraham Friend

“Dad” is such a special word that brings to mind a big, warm smile, a helping hand, kindness, devotion to family, and words of patience. “Dad” is a special word because it stands for you.

Abraham was a loving husband, father, teacher, and mentor. He was adored and admired by many, especially his nieces and nephews. Abraham proudly served three years in the United States Air Force, including service with the Arizona National Guard.

He attended the University of La Verne, where he earned his master’s degree. He also worked as an engineer for 53 years. Abraham spent his free time helping charities, feeding the homeless, and assisting at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, where he taught catechism for many years.

Abraham will always be remembered by his wife, Aucencia; his sons, Abraham, Adrian, and Steve; his daughters-in-law, Maribel, Gabriela, and Jennifer; his grandchildren, Rayleene, Adrian, Arianna, Abraham, Alexander, Kayla, Sabrina, Estevan, Ryan, Aleksey, Angelina, Alisha, and Christopher; his great-grandchildren, Rosalie, Kattalayah, Kiara, Abraham IV, Kali, Daleyza, and Elloise; and his brothers and sisters, Katalina, Rene, Rodolfo, Socorro, Reynaldo, and Abraham.

He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
