Albert Franco

Albert Franco, whose vibrant personality and deep kindness touched everyone he met, passed away on September 15, 2024, at 61. With his magnetic charisma, Albert lit up every room, leaving an unforgettable impact on those who knew him.

Born in Mezcala, Jalisco, Mexico, in 1963, Albert immigrated to the U.S. at 9. His adaptability was evident as he quickly learned English and began working at 14. He later worked at Millbrook for 22 years as a proud member of the Teamsters Union. Ever entrepreneurial, he also started a side business renting inflatable jumpers for children's parties. After early retirement, he pursued house flipping with enthusiasm, managing construction projects both on-site and behind the scenes. Additionally, he assisted his wife, Rose, in her real estate ventures, and expanded his skills in the world of financial services.

Albert’s greatest joy was his family. He married Analuisa Reyes, with whom he had two children, Erease and Albert Jr. He later married Rose Franco for a lasting 27 years, and together they raised their blended family with Karla, Michael, and John.

Albert enjoyed being active in the city of Paramount where he resided. He also enjoyed camping, traveling, and recently developed a love for cooking. He was always eager to attend social gatherings, and most enjoyed spending time with his friends and family, children, and grandchildren.

Albert is survived by his loving family, whose lives he touched deeply. He leaves behind a lasting legacy of laughter, love, and endless support. Those who knew him will forever remember his engaging conversations, his infectious zest for life, and the profound impact he had on their hearts. His passing is not just a loss for his family, but for all who were privileged to call him a friend.
