Albert was born to Ramon and Margaret Enriquez on Sept. 12, 1932 in Denver, Colorado. He was the oldest of 13 children.
Albert was a farm laborer for most of his life. In his later years, he devoted his life to taking care of his parents, as a health care provider, until their passing.
He was a wonderful uncle to numerous nieces and nephews. He brought so much joy and happiness to them. His smile and sense of humor will be greatly missed.
After the death of his parents, he was able to enjoy the simple things in life. He loved going to the movies, shopping, eating out and sharing stories of his younger days. His simplicity and capacity to truly love others and life was his gift to all. He only saw the goodness, kindness and beauty in everyone.
Uncle Albert was forever the optimist and truly believed in the power of faith in God. So much so, that he was baptized through the Seventh - day Adventist Church, a decision he was very proud of.
Uncle Albert never married or had children of his own, but he was like a father figure to all of his nieces and nephews. He was also a wonderful son, brother, mentor and friend to all who knew him. He will forever be loved and dearly missed.
He was preceded in death by his brother Jerry Enriquez, his parents Raymond and Margaret Enriquez and his loving nephew Albert (Eddie) Molano.
Albert is survived by his brothers, Willie Enriquez and wife Connie of Wapato, Raymond Enriquez and wife Paula of Wapato, and Joe Enriquez of Wapato; sisters, Dorothy Valencia of Yakima, Virginia Nieto of Wapato, Carolyn Espinoza and husband Joe of Yakima, Mary Enriquez of Wapato, Betty Enriquez of Wapato, Ramona Martin and husband Danny of Bonnie Lake, Kedron Bernice Enriquez of Wapato, and Frances Enriquez of Yakima.
