Hello Friends and family,

It is with heavy hearts we announce the death of our brother Luis “Lou” Alvaro, who

passed away on January 25, 2024, at the age of 52.

For those who had the pleasure of really knowing him, you would know that despite his

many life struggles, he was kind, sensitive and incredibly goofy. Luis was also a talented

artist and loved to work on his many Bonsai trees. In the last 10 years of his life, he was

healthy, happy and the best version of himself. He helped mom and dad with work

around the house as well as many neighbors that needed a helping hand.

Luis had an immeasurable amount of love for his son Michael and became an

extraordinary friend to him in the recent years, talking on the phone and playing Xbox

together. Michael’s wife Tess shared that she would hear Michael laughing hysterically

whenever he was speaking to his dad.

Although Luis restarted his life in the last decade, the years of the hard life he partook in

finally caught up to him, and his life ended suddenly and unexpectedly for us all. This

unexpected loss to our family has left us unprepared as the family has fully supported

Luis financially throughout his life, and we find ourselves fully responsible for his final

medical and funeral expenses. If you are able to provide any financial support, it would

be greatly appreciated and will help to ease the financial burden of such an unexpected

tragedy.

With profound gratitude,

The Alvaro Family
