Armenta, Edward, FUHS 1975

April 25, 1957- January 31, 2015

Edward Armenta, 57, passed away due to medical complications. Eddie was born in Los Angeles to Jesse and Adela Armenta, one of 9 children. The family later moved to Orange County where Eddie graduated from Fullerton Union High School, where he played football during their championship season, in 1975. He attended Cal State Fullerton, where he was involved in student government and the Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity (Vice-President). Eddie graduated CSUF with a degree in Business Admin/Marketing. He later attended Whittier Law School. Eddie's career was spent in the business form/software industry, where he excelled and held various management positions. Eddie was about friends and family. In college, he worked a side job as a DJ to help take care of his family. He was outgoing, funny and always up for fun. He was immensely helpful to all who knew him, often going out of his way for others. He loved music, dancing and practical jokes. He was always laughing. If you knew Eddie, you can probably still hear his laugh. Eddie met the love of his life and his perfect soul mate, Fran Pizzo, and they were married in 1991. He raised her 3 children as his own. Eddie and Fran loved movies and especially traveling, which they did extensively. They lived in Corona, CA for many years until Eddie's health required them to move to Chandler, AZ so he could be closer to the Mayo Clinic.

Eddie is survived by his wife, Fran; daughter, Janene Purdie (Ryan); sons, Kevin (Jamie) and Travis; 6 grandkids, Gage, Summer, Samantha, Reece, Riley and Decker; mother, Adela; brother, Carlos; sisters, Janie Lina, Rosie and Linda; 24 nephews, 17 nieces. He was preceded in death by his father and siblings, Maggie, Mary and Edmundo. A Mass will be held Saturday, Feb. 21 at 11 a.m. at St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church in Corona, CA, to be followed by a celebration of Eddie's life at The Lake Center at Trilogy in Corona. All of us lucky enough to have been part of Eddie's large circle of family and friends are blessed with assurance that he loved us and for the great memories we have to keep.
