Alfonso Padron Obituary
Alfonso dedicated many years to working as an agricultural laborer for Harmon Orchards, Christofferson Farms, Kistlercrest Farms and Hackert Farms, all in Riverton Township. He served as a production associate and supervisor at FloraCraft, where he retired in 2011 after 46 years of commendable service.
Outside of work, he was a talented carpenter and an avid fisherman who cherished time outdoors. Alfonso took pride in tending to his vegetable gardens and maintaining his lawn and family acres. His passion for the outdoors extended to his younger years when he enjoyed flying radio-controlled airplanes and racing RC cars. If not outdoors, you would find him surrounded by his children and grandchildren telling family stories and bringing joy and laughter into their hearts or watching classic Western and War movies.
Alfonso is survived by his loving wife, Maria Padron, and their daughters, Cynthia (Rudy) Lopez, Betty (Tony) Alanis, Peggy (Gerardo) Morales, and Esmeralda (Ryan) Bennetts. He was a proud grandfather to 14 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-granddaughter. He also leaves behind his siblings, Armando (Modesta) Padron, Elida Garcia, and Teresa (Armando) Mireles. Alfonso was preceded in death by his parents, Maria (Arellano) and Alberto Padron, and his brothers, Andres, Alberto II, Manuel and Juan Padron, and his brother-in-law, David Garcia.
A Mass from the Order of Christian Funerals will be held on Monday, May 19, 2025 at 11 am at St. Simon Catholic Church with Rev. Wayne B. Wheeler Jr. presiding. Visitation on Monday will begin at 10 am. Visitation will also be held at Oak Grove Funeral Home of Ludington on Sunday, May 18, 2025 from 5-7 pm, with praying the Rosary at 7 pm.
In memory of Alfonso, contributions can be made to St. Simon Catholic Church, where he was a devout parishioner. His legacy of devotion and love for his family and friends will be cherished and remembered by all who knew him.
