Albert walked into the arms of his heavenly Father on Sunday, July 19, 2009. he was a true warrior contending for God's Kingdom throughout his life wherever he went. Albert was born on October 27, 1951 in Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. He grew up in Santa Barbara, California where his mother and grandmother were the two devoted and strong women in his life who raised him to be a man of integrity. As a young man, Albert had some challenges with drug addiction but during his rehabilitation time he found a new strength and purpose through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Albert started working diligently at a very young age and worked his way to owning his own construction business in Southern California. He met the love of his life, Marlene, in 1994, in Pasadena, California and from the time the two were married he remained a faithful husband. He was also a devoted father to Loren and Adriana who were his treasures.

Because of his love for Jesus, he enjoyed teaching Sunday school at Coast Christian Fellowship where he was greatly involved in the construction of their youth center called "The Portal." Albert was very passionate about his relationship with his church family as well as his life long friends. Albert passions: the beach, cooking, his work, working out, bicycling, and watching videos with his wife. He is survived by his wife, Marlene, two beautiful daughters, Loren and Adriana, and his mother, Eloise Orona.
