On Sept 15 at 9:19am, our family said goodbye to our beloved father, grandfather, and friend, Andrew Paul Tarango Sr. He was the hardest worker we knew — a man who spent his life providing for his family and showing love to everyone. He spent his last moments peacefully with the ones he loved, ready to be received by his Father in heaven.

Even in passing, we want his legacy to reflect what mattered most to him: his family. More than anything, Andy wanted to leave something behind for his grandchildren — a reminder that their grandpa loved them deeply and always put family first.

We are creating this fundraiser not only to cover the immediate costs of cremation and final arrangements, but to honor his greatest wish: to make his last gift one that supports the future of the grandchildren he adored.

Your support will go toward:

• Covering cremation and memorial expenses so the family can gather and celebrate his life with dignity

• Creating a small fund for his grandchildren as his lasting gift — carrying on his legacy of love, hard work, and generosity

No amount is too small. Every gift is part of continuing Andy’s lifelong mission of providing for his family and leaving them with love and strength.

If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this page or lifting our family up in your thoughts and prayers. Knowing he touched so many lives is a comfort in itself.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for helping us honor him in this way.

With love and gratitude,

The Tarango Family
