Albert Lee Estes, 84, a beloved husband, father, Papa, and friend. passed away on November 6, 2023, in Belton, Texas. He was born on November 10, 1938, in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Albert dedicated most of his life to working as a heavy equipment operator. His skill and expertise were renowned among his peers and colleagues. Through his tireless efforts, he contributed significantly to various projects while leaving behind a lasting impact on the community. His commitment to his profession was unyielding, and his dedication served as an inspiration to many.

While Albert's career was an important aspect of his life, it was no comparison to his love for his family. He cherished every moment spent with them and derived tremendous joy from their presence. His role as a husband, father, and grandfather brought immeasurable happiness into his life. Albert's proudest accomplishments were undoubtedly his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren who brought him immense pride and filled his heart with unconditional love.

Outside of work and family life, Albert had a few interests that brought him joy and relaxation. He was an avid fan of Dallas Cowboy Football and passionately supported all Texas-based team sports. During leisure time, he enjoyed playing poker online where he would engage in friendly competition with friends near and far. However, above all else, spending time with his family held the most significant place in Albert's heart.
