Albert "Beto" Padilla

d. January 8, 2017

Albert Raul (Beto) Padilla, he was born on June 10, 1971 in Albuquerque, NM to Frank G. and Rosa Padilla. Beto left us on Sunday, January 8, 2017 to be with his beloved daughter Tiana Rose in the heaven's above. His life was dismissed on his motorcycle, which was a dream of his from the time he was a child. Albert worked hard and saved and saved to achieve this lifelong goal.

He is survived by sisters, Nora Padilla Jurado and Francine Padilla; his brother, Alex Padilla; his nieces and nephews; and Charlie, Greyson and Gizmo, his beloved animals.

Albert was a Local 412 Union worker. He took great pride in completing the apprenticeship, working his way to the foreman level in the industry. He carried several different licenses such as his medical gas, journeyman plumber, journeyman pipefitter, journeyman gas, EPA, refrigeration certificate, and countless other certificates, which he held in his pocket at all times. Albert was a true craftsman. There wasn't anything he couldn't do. From rebuilding vehicles, to building giant buildings, framing, welding, electrical, troubleshooting equipment, running pipes, and most of all, the meticulous care he took loving his family, friends, and animals.

Albert was a loyal, devoted man and this was said without condition. His laugh was contagious and could be heard across a jobsite or the dog park, resulting in smiles all around. Uncle Albert was always willing to educate the younger generation in the fields of expertise that he knew. He could name the make, model, and year of any vehicle on the road. He could name any song and band along with each band member. He loved his model cars, action figures, his Pittsburgh Steelers and his life.

The family would like to thank the Local 412 plumbers and pipefitters along with all the members; a big thank you to the New Mexico Motorcyclist Right Organization; and thank you to all of Albert Raul Padilla's friends and family!
