Augustine (Sonny)'s obituary

Augustine (Sonny) R. Maldonado Jr. March 17, 1955 – May 15, 2021

Sonny passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Saturday May 15, 2021 at the age of 66. Sonny was born in Benson on St Patrick’s Day 1955 & raised in Tombstone AZ where he played sports and graduated from Tombstone High School. Sonny moved from Tombstone after helping raise his 5 children with then wife Dolores Maldonado to Sierra Vista where he worked at Fort Huachuca for over 30 years before retiring. Sonny enjoyed being outdoors where he was free to enjoy a cold drink, listen to his favorite music, play a game of cards, watch his favorite football team the Dallas Cowboys & BBQ great food on his grill. Sonny loved spending time with his kids, grandkids, sweetheart Randee & their four American Eskimo dogs. Sonny was always known to all as a kind, friendly and caring person that would give you the shirt off his back if asked. Sonny was preceded in death by his mother Virginia (Ginny) Maldonado & survived by his father Augustine (Augie) Maldonado. Sonny is survived by his 5 children: Lori Sue (Jason) Summers, Augustine (Son) Maldonado, Lisa (Levi) Leamon, Donna Maldonado Nunez & Nathan (Nano) & Cassandra Maldonado. 2 siblings: Virginia (Tootsie) (Tim) Barry & Kristina (Kitty) (Russell) Schultz. 16 grandchildren: Brian, Domonique, Haley, Alanna, Azazel, Nick, Chris, Joseph, Gabriel, Adrian, Evan, Shaylee, Michael, Brisenya, Nathan Jr. & Marco. 1 great grandchild: Harper. Sonny is survived by many friends, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts & uncles as well. A graveside service will be held on Saturday June 26, 2021 10 AM at the Tombstone Cemetery. A celebration of Sonny’s life will follow shortly after at the American Legion Post 24 Tombstone AZ.
