Alvaro was born February 19, 1943 in Ayutla Jalisco, Mexico to Sebastian and Cándida Corona.
Alvaro enjoyed a beautiful youth in Jalisco Mexico. Where he blazed the dance floors & conquered the heart of his soulmate, Estela Corona. Alvaro worked tremendously hard, plying his trade at Utility Trailers Manufacturing Company as a semi mechanic for 25 years. After “retirement” Alvaro continued to work on semi trucks and found great joy in his work.
Alvaro adored his 6 children and worked hard to teach them values and beliefs. Through love and personal sacrifice he and his wife felt fortunate to see their family grow and prosper.
Additionally, Alvaro thrived in his role as grandfather. He absolutely cherished his grandchildren. You could find Alvaro playing soccer or teaching grandkids how to ride bikes. You could also find Alvaro at the ballpark cheering on his grandkids, playing board games, or drawing. You might even find Alvaro sneaking a grandchild a sweet treat or two.
Alvaro is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Estela Corona; his 6 loving children, Alvaro (Cindy), Sonia (Dale), Erica (Joseph), Liliana, Mayra (Timothy), Oscar (Andrea); his adoring grandchildren, Jasmine, Kristal, Mia, Ariana, Elijah, Victoria, Kylee, Dylan, Conner, Colton, Charlie, Beau, Esme. Alvaro is also survived by his loving siblings and numerous nieces and nephews.
