Alberto C Figueroa, AKA “Big Al”, passed away far too early on the morning of September 17, 2024, surrounded by his loving wife, his sons, and his family and friends. He was welcomed into Heaven’s gates by his mother Carmen Figueroa and his cousin Landi with open arms. Al is now in a place where he is pain free and can watch over his loved ones always.
Al was born on May 29, 1969, in Brooklyn, New York. He moved to Orlando over 25 years ago and became very known in the Orlando Nightlife scene, and security industry, as the one guy that watched over everyone. He eventually started his own security business and ended up having a very successful career for many years that he loved and enjoyed. He was able to meet many athletes and celebrities, as well as musical artists and production crew members. Al left a mark on any and everyone that he ever met.
Al met his wife, the love of his life Amanda, 15 years ago and from the day they met they never left each other’s side. They had two beautiful boys, Myles (13) and Kyle (11), and Al loved them more than life itself. To his wife and his sons, he was their hero, their protector, and their world. Al enjoyed cooking; especially holiday meals; watching sports, family movie nights, and just spending time with loved ones. He loved to make jokes to everyone, and you definitely could not be around him if you had thin skin.
