Armando (Amado) Hinojosa Arredondo passed away peacefully in sleep . Monday morning April 27, 2026, in his home surrounded by his family. He was 85 and had battled Parkinson’s the last nine years of his life.

He was born March 2, 1941, in Victoria de Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico. He was the third born and eldest son of Sergio Hinojosa Centeno and Juana Maria Soledad Arredondo Ramos. He was a welder and pipefitter by trade and a proud union member of the Plumbers and Pipefitters Local Union 441 of Kansas.

He was a loving and dedicated father not only to his children but to anybody needing one. No doubt he was everyone’s favorite uncle. He was affectionately known as “Papo” initially to his five grandchildren, but others quickly adopted the name, even his nurses. He had a sharp and charismatic sense of humor and no one escaped getting a nickname. He loved to eat and was known to lie to his sisters when they would ask him if he had eaten, his answer was always “no”. He really enjoyed gathering at a kitchen table with family, eating good food, drinking coffee and talking about every topic imaginable.

He is survived by his wife Celia. He is also survived by his sons, Octavio (Gina) Hinojosa, Austin, TX, Gustavo Hinojosa, Durango, DGO, his daughter Mariana Mier, Lawrence, KS. Survived by his grandchildren Bianca Mariana, Isabella Sofia, Alexa Sofia, Mikel Andoni, and Andrea Monserrat. He leaves behind his siblings Dolores, Rogelio, Hortencia, Eva, Rosalinda, Abigail, America and his nieces and nephews.

Amado was preceded in death by his parents Sergio and Soledad, his sister Josefina, niece Lorena and son-in-law Bernardino Vega.

A celebration of life will be held with the extended family on Father’s day.

The family request acts of kindness in memory of our beloved Papo.

Upon retirement, Pete fished many of the area lakes, enjoyed creating birdhouses, flower boxes, and “yard art”, and tended a large and varied garden. He generously provided fresh vegetables to friends, neighbors, and just about anyone he met. An animal lover, Pete cared for many cats, dogs, horses, and even a pet coyote. He was an avid Jayhawk and Chiefs fan. Pete lived at Arbor Court Retirement Community, where he was a friend to all, and was voted Prom King at the community Senior Prom.

Pete is survived by niece Bobbie Ward Hinds (Mark), Lawrence; nephews Loren (Lora) Baugher (Baldwin), and Terry Baugher (Eudora); great-nephew Alan Hinds, and great-niece Haley Baugher.
