Armando Lerma

Armando "Nano" Lerma died on Sept 17 at home surrounded by his family in Watsonville. He was 42.

Mr. Lerma was born on Sept. 21, 1978. He was a lifelong resident of Watsonville.

He was more than a "son/brother/uncle" some would call him their best friend or personal diary. He was an extremely loved individual who cared deeply for all his family members. He was a dedicated Raider fan and the best companion and son to his mother. He was a character of his own and showed his love with his undeniable sense of humor. He could always brighten your day with a joke or a quote from one of his favorite movies. His happiness was his family.

He is survived by his mother, Mary Lerma, and his siblings Kathy (Miguel) Ibarra, Cindy (John) Murillo, Debby Lerma and Richard (Melina) Lerma.

He was preceded in death by his father, Augustine Lerma.

A Memorial Service will be held on Oct. 7 at Ave Maria Memorial Chapel at 609 Main St. from 10am to 12:30pm. The burial will follow at Valley Public Cemetery at 2445 East Lake Ave. at 1pm.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Carroll Family of Ave Maria Memorial Chapel.
