Albert was born on July 23, 1975 in Canyon to Ventura and Ovelinda (Sanmiguel) Herrera. He graduated from Happy High School and attended WTAMU. He had various occupations before settling into farming and ranching in the Happy area.

Albert lived life to the fullest. He never met a stranger and was always willing, no matter how busy he might have been, to stop and help anyone anywhere. He loved people and had a heart for those in need, always showing an unselfish concern for the welfare of others. He was never afraid to try anything. If he didn't know how to do something, he would figure it out, using the knowledge passed down from his dad. Albert loved his family immensely and will be lovingly remembered by them for his easy-going and somewhat mischievous personality. True to his enthusiastic and adventurous nature, he enjoyed fishing, mudding, and chasing storms.

Albert is preceded in death by his mother, Ovelinda Herrera, stepfather to his son, Dwain Oats, and his best friend, Dennis Wilhelm.
