With deep love and heavy hearts, the family of Alfredo A. Mares announces his passing. He leaves behind a legacy rooted in faith, family, and devotion. A beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, he will be remembered for his gentle spirit, his kindness, and the unconditional love he shared with all who knew him.

He is survived by his wife, Yolanda Mares, and their children: Alfredo Jr., Isidro (Yoli), Mary Elizabeth Montemayor (Herman), Gloria Mares (deceased), Flor White (Kent), Yolanda Grimes (Coy), Belinda Green (Chris), Jeanette Mares, and Ramiro Mares (Mari), who is also preceded in death.

Among them, his great-granddaughter Jaelyn Grace Montemayor Rodriguez held a special place in his heart. She prayed every night for her Tata to get better so he could walk and come home soon—a testament to the love he inspired in his family.

He enjoyed life’s simple pleasures: fishing, watching western movies, napping, and saying “Qué Tiraron.” These small joys, shared with those around him, will forever be cherished.

He will be deeply missed, but his love, strength, and memories will continue to live on through the family he cherished so dearly.

May he rest in peace.
