Albert Espinoza Jr.

June 17, 1989 - May 24, 2023

Albert Anthony Espinoza Jr.  passed away at the age of 33 on Wednesday, May 24th, 2023 of an overdose at a rehab center called Circle of Friends in Stockton where we thought he would be safe but unfortunately that wasn't the case.

Albert was a loving person with a big heart and with the most beautiful smile.  He loved helping people when he could but most of all he loved his kids and family very much.  Over the last 5 years Albert struggled with a drug addiction.  He wanted to have a better life and he made the choice to go to rehab.  This was his 1st time reaching out for help which didn't come easy for him.  Albert was clean for over a month but the craving that comes from true addiction was more than he could overcome. In the end his addiction ended his life.  Albert's struggle is now over and I believe he is at peace.  Addiction is a disease.  I don't want my sons death to be in vain.  Please if there is someone in your life battling addiction reach out to them.  So many beautiful lives are lost and families left destroyed because of this horrible disease.  

Albert leaves behind two beautiful children Albert and Aliyah Espinoza, his mother Ina Hart, his stepfather Damon Hart, his brother Devin Dillingham, his sister Haley Hart, his grandmother and grandfather Reyna and Manuel Vasquez, his father Albert Espinoza Sr, his grandmother and grandfather Nancy and Jesse Espinoza.  That loved him more than words can express.

He also leaves behind so many family members and friends that loved him too.

Albert, my beautiful son we will forever love you and miss you.

Andrea Sue Ryan (Lynch), age 56, of Modesto passed away Wednesday May 24, 2023. Andrea was born in Lodi on July 2, 1966 to David and Shirley Lynch. She spent her childhood years in Lodi, and was a graduate of Lodi High School in 1984. Andrea attended college at Chico State, getting her BA in 1988, and received a Masters in Education from St. Mary’s in Moraga in 1996.

After receiving her BA, Andrea commenced her career as an educator and taught in various schools and locations, including Dublin, Ireland, Hollister, Lodi and Modesto. She also worked as a Catholic School Principal in Portland, Oregon. Her commitment to her students’ success was always evident.

In 1997 she moved to Modesto, California and married her husband Tim Ryan of Limerick, Ireland. They were blessed with two wonderful sons, Kellan (22) and Gavin (20). Andrea loved to spend time watching her boys in their various sports/scouting/academic endeavors. She loved camping, and nature in general, and was a huge cat lover. As those who knew her, she also enjoyed the odd gin and tonic and/or socializing with her High School friends (the “Dudes”), her book club friends (the “Squad”) and her Bible Study Group (the “Holy Squad”). Andrea was a dedicated wife, mother, daughter, sister and aunt, and a friend to all who knew her.

In 2016, Andrea was diagnosed with Cancer, which she fought long and valiantly until her death. She is preceded in death by her mother Shirley. Andrea is survived by her husband Tim, her father Dave, sons Kellan and Gavin, her sister Jennifer Lynch (spouse Frank Callanan), niece Gabrielle Callanan and nephew Mac Callanan.

A memorial mass to celebrate her life will be held on Tuesday May 30th at 4:00pm at Our Lady of Fatima Church, located at 505 W. Granger Ave, Modesto, CA 95350. The burial will be a private family service. If desired, in lieu of flowers, please make donations to the American Cancer Society.
