With faith and hope in the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we regret to inform you of the death of Deacon Antonio Huerta, who entered into eternal life on Thursday, May 27, after an almost year long battle with cancer. He was 75 years old.
Deacon Antonio was born on All Souls Day 1945 in Jalisco, Mexico. He was one of ten children. He married his wife Martha on September 27, 1974. They began raising their family in Lawndale, California as parishioners of St. Anthony of Padua Parish in Gardena.
He was ordained a deacon by Cardinal Mahony in 2002. As a deacon for his parish he performed baptisms almost every week and conducted most of the graveside ceremonies. He served as deacon at both Spanish Masses every Sunday and also other major parish Masses. He attended and participated in staff meetings.
He came down with cancer almost a year ago. The family was told he had three months to live but his strong spirit kept him with us for almost a year. His love, joy, faith, and inner peace are an inspiration to all who knew him.
Please pray for his eternal repose. And please pray for comfort to his beloved wife, Martha; five daughters, Susan, Gabriela, Diane, Marisol, and Martha; one son, Sergio; and 13 grandchildren.

Con fe y esperanza en la Resurrección de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, lamentamos informarles del fallecimiento del Diácono Antonio Huerta, quien entró a la vida eterna el jueves 27 de mayo, luego de casi un año de batalla contra el cáncer. Tenía 75 años.
El diácono Antonio nació el Día de los Muertos en 1945 en Jalisco, México. Fue uno de diez hijos. Se casó con su esposa Martha el 27 de septiembre de 1974. Comenzaron a criar a su familia en Lawndale, California como feligreses de la parroquia St. Anthony of Padua en Gardena.
Fue ordenado diácono por el cardenal Mahony en el 2002. Como diácono de su parroquia, realizaba bautismos casi todas las semanas y dirigía la mayoría de las ceremonias junto a la tumba. Sirvió como diácono en ambas misas en español todos los domingos y también en otras misas parroquiales importantes. Asistió y participó en reuniones de personal.
Contrajo cáncer hace casi un año. A la familia le dijeron que le quedaban tres meses de vida, pero su fuerte espíritu lo mantuvo con nosotros durante casi un año. Su amor, alegría, fe y paz interior son una inspiración para todos los que lo conocieron.
Ore por su eterno reposo. Y por favor ore pidiendo consuelo a su amada esposa, Martha; cinco hijas, Susan, Gabriela, Diane, Marisol y Martha; un hijo, Sergio; y 13 nietos.
