Alejo Olivares, 85, passed away peacefully on March 17, 2026. He was born on July 17, 1940, and lived a life rooted in strength, love, and dedication to his family.

Alejo was known for being hard-headed, a trait that reflected his determination and resilience throughout his life. Yet, beneath that strong exterior was a truly kind soul. He was a devoted father who worked tirelessly to provide for his family, always making sure they had what they needed. His love was steady, dependable, and deeply felt by all who knew him.

He had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to crack jokes, often bringing smiles and laughter to those around him. Alejo was also known for his many sayings—words that his family will continue to cherish and repeat for generations to come.

Alejo was preceded in death by his beloved parents and his loving wife of 50 years, Carmen. Together, they built a life centered on family, love, and unwavering commitment.
