During a recent government meeting, officials paid tribute to Armando Lucio Junior, a long-serving employee of the Cameron County Fire Marshal's office, who recently passed away. Lucio began his career with the office on May 10, 2005, after an extensive 39-year tenure in the fire service, including roles as fire chief in both San Benito and Harlingen.

His dedication to public service was highlighted, with colleagues and supervisors praising his knowledge, competency, and commitment to going above and beyond in his duties. Lucio was remembered not only for his professional contributions but also as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, leaving behind a legacy of over 50 years of service to the community.

The meeting concluded with heartfelt condolences extended to his wife, Regina Lucio, and their family, as attendees reflected on his significant impact on the community and the fire service.
