Albert Amador's Memorial Service
Donation protected
"Not everyone knows from an early age what they will be when they grow up. Although, in the case of Sergeant Albert E. Amador, he knew from second grade that he would enlist in the United States Marine Corps" (Since You Asked, p. 81).
Al Amador had a very big heart.. He loved all of his family and friends. If you knew Al, he always spoke very highly of all 10 of his kids. His unique laugh filled any room he was in and he lit up whenever he smiled. Anywhere he went, Al was able to make friends with ease. Even after retirement from the military, he was always on his feet doing something. He was a people pleaser and always finding ways to give back to his community. His door was always open. Al was funny and was always taking care of others. He was a loved one, a dad, a grandfather, a brother, an uncle, a cousin, a friend, and a son.
While in the Marine Corps, he fought in Desert Storm, Desert Shield in 1990. In the Army, 2010, he was assigned active duty while in Afghanistan. On December 17, 2020, Albert lost the final fight to Covid-19. Al's life has been full of many good times. This is not the end for him. He will continue to guide his children. He will wait for his friends to share a beer and he will wait for loved ones to give them all hugs.
The VA covers most of the funeral costs. We are hoping that giving others the opportunity to donate will bring a sense of closure to those who Albert impacted. Donations will go to the cost of the casket as well as floral arrangements. No final date of the funeral has been set yet; however, we are expecting two weeks from now. We are grateful for anyone that is able to help.
