Murio mi padre Manuel Álvarez

 

On June 29, 2020, our beloved dad, Santos Manuel Alvarez, passed away just two weeks after his 52nd birthday.  We are devastated by this loss but it gives us some comfort in knowing that both of our parents are reunited again after the unexpected passing of our mom just two months ago due to COVID-19.  This is an overwhelming loss as we prepare a second funeral for our sole surviving parent.

Our dad was an amazing husband, father, brother, son, and friend.  He was loved by all. He was outgoing yet humble and always put his family first.  Although dad was a stroke survivor and his health was fragile, his death was sudden.  Dad suffered a debilitating stroke in July 2019 and has been rehabilitating in a nursing facility where we were unable to visit him due to restrictions of the coronavirus pandemic. As a family, we decided not to notify him of his wife’s death for fear that his condition would regress. Upon hearing of our mother’s passing last week, dad had another stroke and passed a few days later.  Both of our parents are now resting peacefully together. 

Manuel Alvarez leaves behind his children (including a class of 2020 high school graduate and a high school junior) and his grandchildren.  Dad worked in construction and demolition and due to his failing health, he was unable to continue to work which meant our mom was the sole financial provider for several years.  With the passing of our mom, there is currently no income for the family.

Our community has been kind, generous, and supportive after the recent passing of our mom. As a result of this second tragedy, our family is in need of additional support from our community, friends, and family. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for reading our story and we humbly ask that you donate if you can do so. Donations will go directly to dad’s funeral and burial and to help with end of life costs and future expenses.  We appreciate all you do to help us heal. 
Nectali Damain is brother in law of the family and  was son in law of MR Santos will give the money raise to the family  for expenses

En Junio 29, 2020, nuestro amado padre, Santos Manuel Alvarez, fallecio a solo dos semanas despues de cumplir 52 años. Estamos devastados por esta perdida, pero nos da un poco de consuelo el saber que nuestros padres se reunen una vez mas despues del fallecimiento inesperado de nuestra madre a tan solo dos meses debido a COVID-19. Esta es un perdida devastadora mientras preparamos  un segundo funeral para nuestro unico padre sobreviviente.   

Nuestro padre era un esposo incredible, un padre, hermano, hijo y amigo. El era amado por todos. El era extrovertido pero humilde y siempre puso primero su familia. Aunque papá era un sobreviviente de cerebrovascular y su salud era fragil, su muerte fue repentina. Papá sufrio un derrame cerebral debilitante en Julio del 2019, y habia estado rehabilitandose en un centro de enfermeria donde no pudimos visitarle debido a las restricciones de la pandemia del Corona-virus. Como familia, decidimos no notificarle de la muerte de su esposa por temor a que su condicion de salud empeorara. Al enterarse del fallecimiento de nuestra madre la semana pasada, papá tuvo otro derrame cerebral y fallecio unos dias despues. Nuestros padres ahora descanzan en paz.

Manuel Alvarez deja atras a sus hijos (incluyendo un graduado de la escuela secundaria del 2020 y otro estudiante del grado 11) y sus nietos.  Papá trabajo en la construccion y demolicion y debido a su enfermedad, dejo de trabajar hace unos anos atras.. Debido a la enfermedad de nuestro padre, nuestra madre era la unica proveedor financiero de la familia y con su fallecimiento no hay ingresos para la familia.

Nuestra comunidad ha sido amable, generosa y solidaria despues del reciente fallecimiento de nuestra madre. Como resultado de esta segunda tragedia, nuestra familia necesita apoyo adicional de la comunidad, amigos y familiares. Desde el fondo de nuestros corazones, agradecemos por leer nuestra historia y humildemente le pedimos su donativo. Las donaciones iran directamente al funeral y entierro de nuestro padre y ayudaran con los gastos finales de vida y con gastos futuros. Agradecemos todo lo que hace para ayudarnos a sana
