God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered, “Come to Me.” With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away and although we love you dearly we could not make you stay.
A Golden heart stopped beating hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Augie was born in Gilroy Jan. 5, 1959, raised in Morgan Hill and attended Live Oak High School. He boxed with his brother Angelo for Gilroy boxing, was a cabinet maker for 30+ years, and he was a hard worker who always provided for his family till the very end. A hard core Forty Niner fan.
He enjoyed joking laughing with family and friends. He served the Lord at Foothills Four Square Church in Gilroy. He was the strongest man we knew, spoiled by his loving wife who cared for him till the end. His smile will be greatly missed by all of us.
A Celebration Service will be held at Foothills Foursquare Church in Gilroy at 6:00 P.M. on the 20th of January. A special thank you to Foothills ministry, Heartland Hospice, Teresa Gutierrez (Comadre), Pop Warner football, family and friends who came forward in our time of need. We love you Dad.
