Jesus R. Alvarez

Jesus Alvarez trabajó todos los días de su vida para mantener a su familia. Disfrutó de su carrera y fue propietario de JA Upholstery desde 1972 hasta su jubilación en 2002. Era un maestro en su oficio, un poco perfeccionista, razón por la cual fue amado y admirado por sus muchos clientes, colegas y aquellos a quienes empleaba de vez en cuando. Jesus fue un hombre honesto, un hombre de palabra y eso le valió el respeto de quienes lo rodeaban. Aparte de su trabajo, su mayor logro fue su familia. Nada amaba más que pasar tiempo con su esposa e hijos, nietos y bisnietos.

Jesus ha sobrevivido y será extrañado por su esposa durante 55 años, Amalia,

siempre amado y recordado por sus cinco hijos Michelle, Lili (Victor), Jessica (Carlos), Jesus “Jesse” Alvarez Jr. (Trisha), Erica (Brett), nietos Andres Jr. (Ameyali), Charlie (Raianne), Kassandra (Jason), Daniel (Daniela), Antonio, Samantha (Noah), Yanilcy, Alyssa, Yazmyn, Alexa, Arian, bisnietos Greyson, Addalee e Isabella, hermano Joe (Elida) Alvarez y hermana María de la Luz Alvarez.

A Jesus le precedieron en muerte sus padres, Juan Alvarez y Micaela Alvarez Rodriguez y su nieto, Adam Valle.

Jesus fue un hombre de familia muy amoroso, y un esposo leal y devoto al amor de su vida. Era conocido por muchos, pero muy selectivo con los que llamaba amigos. Un hombre de pocas palabras, que hacía todo con honestidad e integridad. De valores y morales muy fuertes, que le heredo a sus hijos. Jesus enseñó a sus hijos a amar a Dios y uno a otro y a trabajar arduamente. Los más cercanos a él siempre recordarán las historias de su infancia, que con el tiempo se volvieron muy repetidas. Era un hombre muy amable y paciente y su esposa, hijos, nietos, bisnietos y aquellos cuyas vidas tocó lo extrañarán profundamente.

“Nunca dijiste que me voy, nunca dijiste adiós. Te fuiste antes de que nos diéramos cuenta, y solo Dios sabía por qué. Un millón de veces te necesitamos, un millón de veces lloramos. Si solo el amor pudiera haberte salvado, nunca habrías muerto. En vida te amamos mucho, en la muerte te amamos todavía. En nuestros corazones ocupas un lugar que nadie podría llenar. Nos rompió el corazón perderte, pero no fuiste solo. Porque una parte de nosotros te acompañó el día que Dios te llevó a casa”. Autor anónimo

Jesus “Chuy” Alvarez was born on August 6, 1939 in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico, and was called to his forever home by our Lord and Savior on May 12, 2023, at age 83.

Jesus Alvarez worked hard every day of his life to provide for his family. He enjoyed his career and owned JA Upholstery from 1972 until his retirement in 2002.

He was a master of his trade, a bit of a perfectionist, which is why he was loved and admired by his many customers, colleagues, and those he would employ from time to time. Jesus was an honest man, a man of his word, which earned him the respect of those around him. Aside from his work, his greatest accomplishment was his family. He loved nothing more than spending time with his wife and children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Jesus is survived and will be missed by his wife of 55 years, Amalia, forever cherished and remembered by his five children Michelle, Lili (Victor), Jessica (Carlos), Jesus “Jesse” Alvarez Jr. (Trisha), Erica (Brett), grandchildren Andres Jr. (Ameyali), Charlie (Raianne), Kassandra (Jason), Daniel (Daniela), Antonio, Samantha (Noah), Yanilcy, Alyssa, Yazmyn, Alexa, Arian, great grandchildren Greyson, Addalee and Isabella, brother Joe (Elida) Alvarez and sister María de la Luz Alvarez.

Jesus was preceded in death by his parents, Juan Alvarez and Micaela Alvarez Rodriguez and grandson, Adam Valle.

Jesus was a very loving family man, and loyal and devoted husband to the love of his life. He was known by many, but very selective of those he called friends. A man of few words, who did everything with honesty and integrity. He had very strong morals and values, which he passed down to his children. Jesus taught his children to love God and each other and to take pride in their hard work. Those closest to him will always remember his childhood stories, which overtime became very repetitive! He was a very kind and patient man and will be deeply missed by his wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and those whose lives he touched.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, May 18, 2023 from 1:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. with a rosary at 7:00 p.m in Chapel of Peace at Funeraria Del Angel Buena Vista. A mass will be held on Friday, May 19, 2023 at St. Eugene of Mazenod Catholic Church, 5409 Austin Rd, Brownsville, TX 78521 at 2:00pm, followed by a burial at Buena Vista Burial Park at 3:00 PM. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the care of Funeraria Del Angel Buena Vista, 125 McDavitt Blvd., Brownsville, Tx., 956-541-5400.

“You never said I’m leaving, you never said goodbye. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knew why. A million times we needed you, a million times we cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place that no one could ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God took you home.” Author Anonymous
