It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Armando Cavazos Jr., age 66, who departed this life on March 16, 2026, in LaBelle, Florida. Born on June 29, 1959, in Alice, Texas, Armando was a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and brother.
Armando is survived by his loving wife, Elisa P. Cavazos; his son, Armando Cavazos III, and daughter-in-law, Esmeralda Pequeño; his daughter, Annalicia Cavazos, and son-in-law, Marco Antonio Mendez; and his beloved grandchildren: Armando Cavazos IV, Neveah Cavazos, Nyah Cavazos, Marco Antonio Mendez Jr., Armani Cavazos, and Luzmarina Mendez. He also leaves behind his father Armando Cavazos Sr., sisters, Rosalinda Rivera and Thelma Cavazos, and brothers, Ruben Cavazos and Rene Cavazos.
Armando was a strong-willed individual, known for his kindness, generosity, and loyalty to family and friends. He worked as a heavy equipment operator throughout his career, earning the respect of his colleagues for his dedication and skill. In his leisure time, he enjoyed listening to Mexican and country music—passions that brought joy to his life.
Armando was preceded in death by his mother, Maria G. Cavazos; his brothers, Juan J. Cavazos and David Cavazos; his son, Joey Cavazos; and his grandson, Joey David Cavazos.
