Dear family and friends,

We are heartbroken to share the tragic news of our beloved Armando also known as "Pepe" or "Pepones" sudden passing.

Armando always felt fortunate to have two families—one at home and the one he made working at UCLA for 24 years. He took great pride in being a devoted Bruin, loved going to games, and leading the eight clap. He truly enjoyed the time he shared with his entire Bruin family.

His smile, wisdom, and thoughtfulness leave a lasting impression on everyone he met. No words can truly capture his sense of humor and kindness. Armando will be deeply missed by his family and community.

Although no amount of money can ease the pain of loss, your support at any level can alleviate this financial burden for his family. Any and all donations would be greatly appreciated by his family as they navigate their grief during this devastating time.

It would mean a lot if you could share Armando’s funeral fundraiser with others who knew him. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
