Alfredo was born in Patagonia, Arizona on January 9, 1950. He later moved to Tucson, Arizona where he was raised and made Tucson his home. He graduated from Pueblo High School and received a degree from the University of Arizona in Horticulture and was an active member of the marching band.

He was employed with the City of Tucson as a cement mason for over 25 years. He was an extremely dedicated employee, hardly ever missing a day of work before proudly retiring. His love of the cowboy culture lead him to also be employed with the Tucson Rodeo. It was a Tucson tradition that soon became a family tradition of their own.

Alfredo was an inspirational family man. He was a simple man who didn't say much, aside from "hmm" or "bull-feathers", but when he did, all listened. He never hesitated to help someone in need. Alfredo made an impact on all the lives he touched. He was a proud man who never complained and even in his final days had a sense of humor that brightened your spirit. He instilled everlasting memories in those around him, He will forever be in our hearts. A true cowboy until the end...
