Antonio's obituary
Antonio Cruz Tydingco, II, 54, passed away on April 25, 2024.
Antonio was born on September 5th, 1969 to his Mother, Lourdes Jean Tydingco Swader, in Tamuning, Guam at Guam Memorial Hospital. Growing up as a military brat, he called various places home, including Florida, Texas, Louisiana, California, and Germany. Summers were a special time spent at his maternal grandmother's residence in San Diego, CA, where he deepened bonds with numerous cousins. Antonio eventually graduated from Zweibrucken American High School, a DoD school in Zweibrucken, Germany and then joined the Army to pursue a life of his own in the military. Most recently, careerwise, he worked 7 years at Courtesy Ford Lincoln in Portland.
He had a larger than life personality who made friends wherever he went. The many friendships he would continue to forge in his adult years as he moved from Texas, Washington, and lastly, Oregon are a testament to this. Anyone that knew him knows how big his heart was, how deeply he loved, and how he embraced everyone as though they were family. He will be deeply missed.
Antonio was predeceased by his Mother, Lourdes Jean Tydingco Swader. He is survived by his Daughter, Mailei Tydingco, Stepfather, Jerry Swader, and Sisters, Nancy Cullen and Virginia Swader.
