With heavy hearts we say goodbye to Armando Bustillos Flores “Smackie” of Ciudad Juárez, México who passed away on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, with his family by his side. 

He was a beloved father, brother, grandpa, uncle, and friend. Armando’s parents, Armando Bustillos Flores and Romelia Flores Galaviz, preceded him in death. He is survived by his siblings: Liz Anel Rayos, Claudia Bustillos, Briana R Pichardo, and Andrea Olivas. He was a proud father to Sheyla Bustillos, Aaron Bustillos, Anthony Taylor, and Stacy Bustillos, and a loving grandpa to Isla Valeria Ramos and Santiago Mateo Bustillos. His family will forever carry his stories and his love in their hearts. 

 Armando was a man whose spirit could never be contained and whose presence was a celebration in itself. He was the life of the party, the one who could turn an ordinary moment into a memory worth keeping. He was full of life, always bringing laughter wherever he went, and his free spirit was impossible to ignore. He had a passion for playing the bass and making sure everyone around him was having a good time. 

 A celebration of life will be at Clearview Church Tuesday February 25, 2025 at 2PM

 Though he may no longer be with us in body, his spirit will live on in the laughter he inspired, in the warmth of a shared drink, in the music he played, and the memories he left behind. Rest easy, Smackie—your legacy of love and joy will never be forgotten.

Elkhart Cremation Services is entrusted with his care.
