Victor Angulo

Beloved Father, Husband and Grandfather, Victor Manuel Padilla Angulo passed away on September 21, 2024. He was born in Nogales, Sonora in Mexico on December 25th, 1934. Son of Jose Angel Angulo and Maria Luisa Padilla, Victor was the 3rd of 5 children. All siblings have preceded his death with the exception of his brother Oscar Dominguez. 

Since a young age, Victor had always been a hardworker.  He worked on a family ranch growing up. Once he moved closer to the city, he worked at a mechanic shop, Coke factory and as a city bus/driver service where he met his wife Cristina. 

In April of 1965, Victor married his true love Cristina Beltran. In 1968, they moved to Arizona in search of a better life. Both worked hard to build a life and raise their 4 daughters. When Victor first arrived to the US, he began working at Navarro Orange Orchards. In 1971, Victor began working at MasterCraft Custom Cabinets and eventually retired after 25 years of service. 

Victor loved his family and always tried to provide a better life than he had lived. He was full of life, courage, pride and would accomplish anything he put his mind to. He was proud of his family and was amazed with the size of his family which included 37 grand and great-grandchildren.

In his last weeks, Victor reflected on his life and was proud and happy with the life he built with his wife Cristina.  Victor missed her very much and did not fear death as he knew he would be with her again. 

Victor and his many childhood stories will be missed by many.
