Andy was a proud Mexican American who dedicated over 50 years of his life to his career as a foreman at Holloman Corporation in the oil and gas industry. His strong work ethic and commitment to his profession earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues and peers. Andy took great pride in his appearance, always dressing impeccably and showcasing his distinctive jewelry with style. He was well-known and admired in the community, forging many friendships and capturing the hearts of those around him.

Beyond his professional achievements, Andres was a gifted horseman. He not only trained horses but also served as a jockey, embodying the spirit and vigor of the cowboy way of life that he so loved. His charismatic personality and zest for life left an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to know him.
