Survived by loving mother Tina Cacilhas, father Jaime Canales, brother Jose Cacilhas, great grandmother Carmelita Hernandez, grandma Arlene and Isabel. Many aunts, uncles, cousins, and plenty of friends. Raised by his single mother Tina Cacilhas. Attended Washington High School as a junior. He's remembered by the respect, love, compassion he showed to everyone that he came in contact with him. Armando had a "heart of gold". Always putting others need's first before himself.

He was very protective of his family & friend's because he cared & loved them so much! Armando touched so many people's lives by his willingness to always have been there to help & pick them back up from any given situation. He will be deeply missed but not forgotten. Everyone remembers him by his contagious" SMILE", heart, humor, standing up for what he believed in & protectiveness to all. He enjoyed playing football, basketball and video gaming. Loved hanging out with the people he loved the most. He referred to as his family my brother's & lil sis's, he was so full of life. Armando wanted to serve his country as a Marine and follow his passion to help others as a Firefighter. Favorite teams where the Pittsburg Steelers, Chicago Bulls. He impacted everyone's life he came in contact with always trying to make their day better, putting aside his own challenges. He will be greatly missed by all his family and friends and community. Rest in Peace my son. You're flying high with the angels. Looking down on all of us saying" I GOT YOU" don’t worry.

Thank you to all the parent's, friend's, community that came together for us in time of need. All the donations & support is greatly appreciated. Now he can have a proper funeral due to all of you. Words can't express how thankful I am. I THANK YOU so much!!!!

So sad, heartbroken to see my 'Iil man' my son goes way too soon. May you rest peaceful with your grandpa's up in heaven. Fly high my son and spread your wings. The angels are with you now. You're looking down upon us with that "SMILE"! We will always love you & hold you close to our hearts & keep your memory alive. I'm your voice now to fight for justice to be served. Keeping Armando's memory alive."Mandosworld" RIP. My son. Love you with all my heart forever.

Hopefully this memory will go through this time.On 5/11/2024 we celebrated Mondoman's 5th Life Celebration.I miss my mijo so much!!I will never understand why this happened to him.Mondo would light up a room with his huge SMILE and Laughter,jokes.He had a open heart.Would be there for you no matter what,when,how.He cared for everyone that treated him right.Sometimes to a fault.But that was him Loyalty.All of you that knew, knew,him you know it's so true!!What I miss the most of him-Is his Caring nature,smile,jokes,love,concern for all and so much more.Mondo had his own personal struggles in life But, he put them aside and tried to help others.Only because he felt he couldn't help himself.I as a mama tried the best I could.Mondoman we celebrated your life today.You brought so much joy and happiness, memories,for us all.We miss & love you dearly.Not a day goes by that I don't think of you my mondoman.Life is a struggle everyday without you.But what you would say to me:Is Mama struggles make us stronger.Because that was are life with one another.Hoping Heaven is what they say it is. Because you deserve the very best!!!Love you alway's & forever,Mama.

Yesterday 5/11/2022 was your 3rd CELEBRATION OF LIFE my son. The small group of us. Was there to celebrate your memorable life. We shared all the good times, crazy times, funny times, sad ones. You were so full of life & had so much left to do in this world. You never got to fulfill your dreams,goals,your own family,kids,marriage.Life is just not fair. You were robbed of your life. I will never understand WHY YOU? I MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! It hurt's & the pain is like no-one could every imagine. I carry this heavy weight on my shoulder's daily. Of the loss of losing you so sudden. I will Alway's be a "broken mama". Granted this mama has never& will never give up on fighting for my son. True to the core until my last breath. I love you so much & miss you. I'm lost without my other half. But I do know your watching out for me & protecting, guiding me threw all this. Like you always did when you where here.That is what keep's me going & holding on to. REST IN PEACE MY MANDOMAN!! ~MW4L~

There is not a day that goes by that i don't stop thinking & crying over you.It's that this mama is just stuck in a time zone of heartache ,pain,sorrow.My son- the 1st fight is finally over.You got justice for the person who took your precious life.Wish she got the full sentence .But we all tried so hard on your behalf.As the holiday's came & passed it was pure torture all over again.I know for a fact your doing your job up there in heaven.Looking after all of us just like you did when you where here.Some of us feel it more than others.I miss & love you more than word's can express.Wanted to send you a brief message today Thank you for always watching over me like you always did.Love, your Mama~MW4L~

Mondoman today marks 2 yrs without you.Which to me feels like just yesterday.Still to this day trying to make sense of it all.Why?You a good hearted soul. Mijo grandma will be with you soon.grandma passed just like you did.She died a day before Mother's day.She fought to the very end.I believe she was trying to send a clear message to some who just didn't get it.Acknowledge of what a persons pain & sufferings is & what they truly go threw.And to be with you.I don't believe in those type of coincidences.When we lost you.Grandma was so sad & broken.We cried so much together.She just kept saying "my mijo".Mondoman you will always be one of a kind.I love you so much!!!I miss you more than words can say.It is unbearable the pain,heartache never will go away.But, one thing i do know.You are always with me no-matter where i go.I feel your strong presence.You just have always had a way of letting me know your love & loyalty to your "MAMA" I'm thankful & blessed to have a great son.Wishing you where here to see you accomplish your dreams & goals in life.I know your enjoying heaven up there "saying" Mama this is cool!!Know you are always in my heart,mind,soul, much love until the end of time.Fly High Mondoman..~MW4L~
