Emilio and Sofia were blessed with seven children and devoted their lives to family. After the passing of their daughter Claudia, they selflessly raised her four children as their own, opening their home and hearts without hesitation. Those grandchildren—Daniel Cervantes Armendariz, Modesto Armendariz, Alvaro Armendariz, and Erica Armendariz—were raised alongside their aunts and uncles, surrounded by love, guidance, and unwavering support.

Emilio is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Sofia Armendariz; his oldest daughter, Claudia Armendariz; his granddaughter, Elizabeth Armendariz; his mother, Tomasa Armendariz; and his father, Jose Armendariz

Emilio is survived by his children, Maribel Noriega and her husband, Modesto Noriega, Jesus Armendariz, Jaime Armendariz and his wife, Lourdes Adriana Armendariz, Emilio Armendariz Jr. and his wife, Reyna Armendariz, Eric Armendariz, Erika Ornelas and her husband, Michael Ornelas; he also leaves behind 20 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren, all of whom were a source of immense pride and joy in his life.

He will be remembered as a devoted husband, a loving and steadfast father, and a man whose life was defined by sacrifice, responsibility, and unconditional love for his family. Emilio’s legacy lives on through the generations he helped raise and the values he instilled through his actions.

The family finds comfort in knowing that Emilio is now reunited with his beloved wife, daughter, parents, and granddaughter resting together in eternal peace.
