Armando "AJ" Heredia Jr. was called to be with the Lord on February 24, 2015 at the age of 11.
Armando was born on January 12, 2004. He was blessed with a loving mother Heather Overholt, father Armando Heredia Sr., Sister Makayla Martinez, and grandma Bonny Wright, lots of Aunts and Uncles and cousins who loved him dearly. He is proceeded in death by his great grandmother Liberty Bell "ma-ma" and his Tio Luis Heredia.
AJ was full of life, love, and lots of energy. He could light a room with his smile. He loved to play baseball, soccer, and ALWAYS riding his skateboard. He loved spending time with his mom, sister, father and the rest of his family.
AJ enjoyed going to church with his mom and being a part of the skits and feeding the homeless. More than anything he love to ride around town with his dad in his big tall truck. He will be missed dearly. AJ watch over us as you skateboard in heaven with your angel wings until the day we see you again, all in Gods timing.

My deepest condolences to the family. I had the pleasure of knowing Armando when I taught him Pre-K at Bard, and enjoyed his smile and hellos in the hallways after that. Your classmates have fond memories of you... rest in peace sweet angel.

To The Parent's and Family of AJ,
I did not know your son, and I do not know your family. But, I reach out to you with love and understanding of the horrific pain you are enduring right now. Your Son, as you know is now in the lap of God. Doesn't make it easier for you, I know. I lost my boy over 8 years ago and all I can say, is you do not walk this path alone. The pain of loosing a child never diminishes. But, as time moves forward, your loving memories and thoughts of your Son will make you smile. He is still very close to you in spirit. That can never be taken from you. He is watching over you and with you in love. Blessings and prayers to your family at this time in your lives. God Bless.
