ARMANDO SANDOVAL CASTANEDA

Armando Sandoval Castaneda, a gentle spirit known for his devotion to both faith and family, passed away on October 19, 2025, in Downey, California, at the age of 89. Born on September 10, 1936, in Guatemala, he embraced life with an open heart and a profound commitment to spreading the teachings of Christ.

Armando was a cherished member of a Fellowship of Christ, where he found joy in sharing his faith and engaging in meaningful conversations with others about his beliefs. His love for people was evident; he took pride in helping those in need and made it one of his life’s missions to uplift everyone around him.

Beyond his spiritual commitments, Armando had a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures in life. He took great delight in nature, often seen enjoying walks that allowed him to connect with the world around him. His love for shopping brought him joy as well; it was not merely about acquiring items, but rather about engaging with the community and finding treasures along the way.

Armando is lovingly remembered by his daughters, Rosa Davis and Alma Spencer, who reflect on the warmth and kindness their father brought into their lives. He was not only a father but a guiding light, always ready to lend an ear or a helping hand.
