In Memory of Jose de Jesus Alvarez
Donation protected
Spanish
José de Jesús Álvarez fue un hombre excepcional que tocó la vida de muchos. Es difícil resumir su vida, sus pasiones o incluso la mitad de su experiencia. Era un esposo, padre, abuelo, hermano, tío, primo e hijo increíble, pero también se sentía familiar para muchos que tuvieron la suerte de conocerlo. Era apasionado, carismático, motivado, divertido, amoroso, cariñoso, decidido, confiable, servicial y leal. Era un narrador de historias, bromista, comediante, conductor, carpintero, electricista, plomero, mecánico y paisajista, una fuerza incomparable por decir lo menos. Lamentablemente, ya no está con nosotros y su pérdida nos ha conmocionado a todos. Agradecemos sinceramente los mensajes y llamadas de todos y les agradecemos sus amables palabras sobre nuestro amado esposo y padre. Muchos se han ofrecido generosamente a contribuir financieramente para ayudar a aliviar la carga de los gastos economicos, y del funeral; hemos comenzado esta recaudación de fondos para aquellos que quieran donar. En nombre de mi familia, apreciamos y agradecemos a todos por su amor y apoyo durante este momento tan difícil.
Informacion sobre el funeral:
Debido a las recomendaciones del CDC, el velorio será solo para familiares. Sin embargo, tendremos visitas de ataúd abierto de las 9:30 hasta las 11:30 de la manana el martes 8 de diciembre de 2020 en la paroquia de Epiphany seguido por una misa. La iglesia tiene espacio para hasta 170 personas con un adecuado distanciamiento social y se requerirán máscaras en todo momento. Damos la bienvenida a cualquiera que guste acompanarnos para sus respetos, pero la seguridad y la salud de todos sigue siendo una prioridad.

Jose de Jesus Alvarez was an exceptional man that touched the lives of many. It's hard to summarize his life, his passions, or even half of his expertise. He was an incredible husband, father, grandpa, brother, uncle, cousin, and son but he also felt familial to many that were lucky enough to cross paths with him. He was passionate, charismatic, driven, funny, loving, caring, determined, reliable, helpful, and loyal. He was a storyteller, jokester, comedian, driver, carpenter, electrician, plumber, mechanic, and landscaper, an unmatchable force to say the least. Sadly, he is no longer with us and his loss has shaken us all to our core. We sincerely appreciate everyone's messages and calls and we thank you for all your kind words about our beloved father. Many have generously offered to contribute financially to help ease the burden of hospital expenses as well as funeral and burial expenses; we have started this fundraiser for those who would like to donate. On behalf of my family, we appreciate and thank everyone for your love and support during this very difficult time.
Information regarding funeral:
Due to CDC guidelines, the wake will be family only. However, we will have open-casket visitation from 9:30 am-11:30 am on Tuesday, December 8th, 2020 at Epiphany Parish followed by a mass. The church has space for up to 170 people with proper social distancing and masks will be required at all times. We welcome anyone who wants to pay their respects but the safety and health of everyone remain a priority.
