ARMANDO FONSECA

SEPTEMBER 12, 1980 - JUNE 11, 2016

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... (excerpt from Rainbow Bridge, Author Unknown)

Our beautiful, generous and wonderful son, Armando, was called to be present with the Lord on June 11, 2016.

He left this world and will be reunited with his beloved Sharpei dogs, Charlie Ruffles and Cherry Wrinkles, which have crossed the rainbow bridge to heaven with. (please read poem "Rainbow Bridge").

Armando held a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. His most recent employment was with the Laredo Community College in which the position he held, he adored and excelled in.

His hobbies included spending time outdoors, fishing, camping, and grilling his famous "Pollito Chicken". His love for music and brilliant voice is also a treasure that we have lost and will be forever missed. Many will rejoice whose lives were graced with his joyous laughter, unique sense of humor and his willingness to assist anyone in need. May he rest in peace and soon we'll meet again.
