Antonio H. Carrillo Jr. Jr. Carrillo reached the end of his wonderful life on October 17, 2021, at the age of 75 in Mesa, Arizona. He fought long and hard until his very last breath, no matter how tired or how much pain he was in. He had a heart of a warrior. He leaves a huge hole in the hearts of his family and friends who were always entertained by his stories and hilarious sense of humor. He truly brought life to the party. Jr. was born on July 16, 1946, to Tony Carrillo and Lupe Carrillo in Miami, Arizona. He was beloved by everyone who ever met him. A wonderful father, a great husband, loving grandfather, brother, and best friend to all. No matter the circumstance, you would always leave with a story of something funny or crazy Jr. did in his glory days. Jr. resided in Apache Junction, Arizona for 38 years and was preceded in death by his beautiful wife Beverly Carrillo. He is survived by his 3 daughters, Tammy Armenta and her husband Mark Armenta, Charlene Palmer and Jeannine Carrillo. He also leaves behind his three loving grandchildren: Destiney Armenta, Marc Armenta, LaLicity Carrillo and nephew Anthony Juarez III. Jr is also survived by his sister Micaela Cote, and brother Jimmy Carrillo, preceded in death sister Kathy Carrillo. In his early years Jr met and fell in love with his love of his life Beverly and were married for 50 years. He was so proud to have worked so hard For many years as a copper miner at (Miami Inspiration Mine) in Miami Az. He loved to dance and listen to all kinds of music especially "KANSAS CITY" he loved wearing his western wear (Big Charlie Daniels hats, boots and his big belt buckle). In his later years Jr loved to spend his time at home watching his western movies, eating his sweets (loved his donuts!) playing his scratchers and crossword puzzles. And once in awhile enjoying a cold one. "OPA!"  His love of life was evident in the way he lived. Even just sitting on the couch turned into a fun time with family and friends and of course good food!  Jr is now at peace, joining his wife, sister Kathy and parents. That is one fun party re-united! It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you, the day you took moms hand and God took you home.

We Love You DAD!
