Salvador Alva Cardenas

March 19, 1961 – January 15, 2026

Tampico, Mexico

With hearts lifted in faith and love, we celebrate the life and eternal spirit of Salvador Alva Cárdenas. His time on earth was a journey of strength, perseverance, and deep purpose. He walked through great trials, faced death more than once, and yet never lost his will to live, love, and protect those around him.

Salvador was a cherished son, one of nine siblings, and held an unwavering love for his mother. He was a devoted husband and a loving, present father whose care and guidance will continue to surround his family, even beyond this life.

He is survived by his wife, Luz Marcela de la Rosa Urtaza; his sons, Andrew Salvador Alva de la Rosa and Alan Arthur Alva de la Rosa; and his daughter, Luz Marcela Alva de la Rosa.

Today, we trust that Salvador has been welcomed into eternal rest, embraced by God’s infinite mercy and surrounded by divine light. His soul is now at peace—free from pain, whole, and home. Though we grieve his physical absence, we find comfort knowing that he has found eternal peace, and in time, we too are finding peace, held by faith and the promise that love never ends.

We believe this is not a goodbye, but a temporary farewell—until the day we are reunited again in light, love, and eternity.

With endless love, forever. Thank you for everything. - Alan Alva
