Armando Silva Rubal of Sun City, AZ, 76, passed away early on Wednesday, August 23, 2023. Born August 27, 1946, Armando was a devoted husband, step-father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.


Born and raised in Batuc, Mexico, Armando enjoyed fishing, farming, and working on his family's ranch, developing an affinity for horses.
