Armando Contreras, 57, of Findlay, suddenly passed away Monday, December 11, 2017. He was born in Texas on June 12, 1960 to the late Luis and Felicitas (Salas) Contreras.
Armando enjoyed riding his Harley, gardening, listening to Mexican music, and making people laugh with his quirky sense of humor. But most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, which he had special names for all of them. He considered himself a hard working Chicano. Armando has been a dedicated employee of Whirlpool Corp. for 34 years.
Armando is survived by his three children, Amanda and husband Heladio Contreras, Aaron Contreras and youngest son, John and wife Crystal Contreras; grandchildren, Demma Shaye, Jesse, Bronx, Elesia, Mason and Gabriella, Brayden Ty and Marlow Dean. He is also survived by his brothers, Mike, John, Arnie, Mario, Jesse, and Santos.
The family of Armando will be honoring his life and receiving friends and family on Saturday, December 16, 2017 from 3:00 - 6:00 p.m. at HUFFORD FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 1500 Manor Hill Rd, Findlay (419-422-1500). Any contributions or donations can be made to Impact Credit Union, 11814 Allen Township Road 100, Findlay, Ohio 45840, where they will be distributed to his grandchildren, which include his eldest, Demma Shaye Contreras who is a senior at Findlay High School and will be attending college in the fall. Armando's ultimate goal and dream was to see her graduate and attend college.
As per his wishes, he will be cremated and reunited with his parents in Deshler at a private graveside service at a later date.
