    October 10, 1946 - April 23, 2020

    Alberto “Al” Navarro Sr., beloved husband, father, grandfather and uncle entered into eternal peace, Thursday, April 23, 2020, at his residence in Pattison, Texas.

He served in the United States Army from 1966-1968 during the Vietnam War. Al also served in the Texas Army National Guard and the U.S. Army Reserves and retired as a Sergeant Major. Al graduated from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas and was a member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church. Al enjoyed baseball and was a huge fan of the Houston Astros. He served as president of the Vietnam Veterans of America, chapter 343 in Houston, Texas and was a member of 282nd Assault Helicopter Company “Black Cats”.
