Adam Cardenas Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 22, 2024.
Adam Cardenas was born on October 9, 1934, in Simonton, Texas, to Octaviano Cardenas and María Carranza, one of thirteen children. Adam transitioned peacefully at the age of 90 into eternal life on October 24, 2024, surrounded by love and family.

Adam proudly served in the U.S. Army as a Military Policy Officer stationed in Germany. He then dedicated his career to being a professional mover and truck driver for over 30 years. He was a proud member of Teamsters Local 287. Known for his strength and work ethic, Adam spent his life helping others in his profession and faith.

Adam leaves behind a big, beautiful, blended family that includes his seven children: George Cantu, Steve Cardenas (Terry), Beverly Grim (Marlet), Maria Knox (Kevin), Irene Love (Bobby), Armando Alanis (Marci), and Marc Cardenas (Kristin). His cherished Grandchildren: Monique, Rebecca, Georgie, Steven, Christina, Erica, Mikey, Raymond, Heather, Henry, Honey, Brian, Shawna, Lawrence, Evan, Everett, Edison, Malia, Sierra, and Dominic, along with twenty great-grandchildren who will carry on his memory.

He also survived and will be dearly missed by nieces, nephews, and cousins who adored him.

Adam was a man of great faith, devoted to the Lord, and deeply cherished his family and friends. His kindness, humor, and unwavering love for those around him will be remembered and missed by all who knew him.

I remember when I was in the 5th grade living in Milpitas with my dad and as I walked to school I saw this moving company truck and this man came around the side and said Hi, I thought to my self he looks familiar so I asked him if his name was Adam , he smiled and said yes ! Crazy but from that day he was so present in our lives.
