Armando Alva Jr., 59, of Omaha, Texas, passed away on October 15, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of cherished memories and a family who loved him dearly.

Born on October 10, 1967, in Lubbock, Texas, Armando was the son of Armando P Alva Sr. and Mary Linda Alva of Guymon, Oklahoma. He grew up in Guymon, where his journey began.

Armando was a hardworking man who retired from Boral Energy, but of all the roles he held throughout his life, none meant more to him than being a husband, father, and Papa.

For 28 years, Armando shared his life with his beloved wife, Vicky Alva, of Omaha, Texas. She was his pride and joy, and the life they built together was something he treasured deeply. He was incredibly proud of his children and grandchildren, and his love for his family was at the heart of everything he did.

Known affectionately as “Dito,” he was a devoted Papa who valued every moment spent with his grandchildren. Time with them was never taken for granted. Whether making memories, sharing laughter, or simply being together, those moments were among his greatest blessings.
Armando leaves behind his loving wife of 28 years, Vicky Alva of Omaha, Texas; His children Sara Finley and TeVonrick Finley of Omaha, Texas; Aaron Johnson of Mount Pleasant, Texas; Dottie Meade of Winnsboro, Texas; Justin Meade of Tyler, Texas; Macayla Batten and her husband Jason Batten, of Minnesota; and John Alva and his wife, Kellie Alva, of South Dakoto.

He also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren, Treyvon, Houston, Jordan, Karter, Kaylee, Lauren, Ryleigh, Laramie, JD, Abby, Calem, Derrick, Aubrey, Savanna, and Zoey, each of whom held a special place in his heart.

Armando is also survived by his parents, Armando P Alva Sr. and Mary Linda Alva of Guymon, Oklahoma; his sister, Christina Guggisberg, and her husband Todd Guggisberg; His nephew Max Guggisberg; and his uncle, Bobby Costilla, of Guymon, Oklahoma.
He was preceded in death by his Maternal grandparents Raymond and Alice Costilla, and his paternal grandparents Gamaliel and Antonia Alva.
Although his time here was far too short, the love Armando gave his family will live on through the memories they share, the lessons he taught, and the special bond he had with those closest to him. He will forever be remembered as a loving husband, a proud father, son, and a Papa whose greatest joy was his family.

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever Our Dito.
