Growing up, his family moved a lot with their father's work, settling in Pontiac in 1984. He attended Pontiac Township High School, where he played football under Coach McKeever. After graduation, he worked various jobs and met his future wife, Deb. They married December 5, 1992, and had two children, Natalie and Daniel. Armando worked at LSC in Pontiac for 19 years. He was a member of the Livingston County Assembly of God Church. He was a former board member and current Sunday School teacher. He loved telling anyone who would listen (and some who wouldn't) about his Lord and Savior. He felt driven to spread the Good News. He is celebrating with Jesus now. Armando was an avid fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, the St. Louis Blues, and the LA Rams. He was most proud of his kids, enjoying going to events with them and just being with them. They were his most prized possessions. He loved working with his hands, learning to fix anything that was broken. He never knew a stranger. Armando is survived by his wife, Debbie; his children, Natalie (Kevin) Grewe Of Champaign, IL and Daniel Borrego of Pontiac, IL; his mother, Maria Borrego of Pontiac, IL; brothers, Alfredo (Tammy) Borrego of Pontiac, IL, Rudy (Kristy) Borrego of Pontiac, IL, Tony (Jessica) Borrego of Cornell, IL, and Daniel Borrego of Pontiac, IL; sisters, Angie (Tony) Gonzalez of Streator, IL, Laura (Rich) Pfaff of Pontiac, IL, and Yolanda Borrego of Pontiac; his in-laws, Joe and Sarah Diveley of Graymont, IL; and sister-in-law, Sue (Mike) Shavers of Graymont, IL. He was also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles. He loved his family very much and it never mattered if you were direct blood or married into the family. He loved them all. He was preceded in death by his father, Armando, Sr.; brother, Samuel Borrego; his maternal and paternal grandparents; and infant sister, Yolanda Borrego. Memorials may be made to Livingston County Assembly of God Church in Pontiac, where his heart and desire is for everyone to know Jesus Christ. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.
