Armando Mercado Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 14, 2019.
Armando J. Mercado, 56, of Houston, Texas also affectionately known as Mando, went to be with the Lord on January 13, 2019. He was preceded in death by his parents Ignacio and Maria E. Mercado; survived by his beloved partner, Carol Gonzales; his son Bryan Mercado and wife Jessica and expected granddaughter; daughter Jennifer Ramirez and her husband Michael; his brother Carlos Salvatierra, sisters Celia Centeno, Maria Elena Vega, Norma Olivo and her husband Richard, numerous nieces and nephews, the Flores Family and the Gonzales Family.
He was a native Houstonian, graduate from Jefferson Davis High School, and a dedicated officer of the Houston Police Department. Armando loved spending time with his beloved Carol, his kids, family, and friends; reminiscing about the past; dancing to his favorite Marc Anthony songs; watching a good action movie; playing foosball and cutting up with his favorite buddies. He was a wonderful and loving son, brother, father and soon to be grandfather, always so full of life, immeasurable strength and the love of the Lord.
