JUSTINO A. ALVAREZ
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me into the path of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23
SAN JUAN - Our Lord and Savior called home His obedient son, Justino A. Alvarez, on Saturday, April 9, 2011.
Born in McAllen, Mr. Alvarez had lived in San Juan for 25 years and was a member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Parish in San Juan.
Our father loved the Lord and had given his life to Him. He was a faithful servant who worshipped God. As a father, he was loving and always set a good example of what a good father should be. He was a gentleman and a good faithful friend. Our most precious memories of him are that of a hard working man who never missed a day of work and was very punctual every day. We will always remember our gentle and loving father.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Reynaldo and Sofia Alvarez; and a sister, Gloria Alvarez.
Mr. Alvarez is survived by his wife, Raquel Garza Alvarez, of San Juan; four daughters, Mary (Juan) Mercado, of Abram, Gloria (Raul) Galvan, of Mercedes, Dr. Norma (Alvaro) Iglesias, of McAllen, Rachel (Dr. Raul Santa-Ana) Guzman, of Mission; a son, Reynaldo (Angie) Alvarez, of Pharr; eight grandchildren, Juan E. Mercado, Armando J. Mercado, Jackie Galvan, Rayford Galvan, Samuel Iglesias, Laura Iglesias, Krista Iglesias, Norma Jean Hernandez; one great-grandchild, Damian Angel Hernandez; three sisters, Emilia (Ambrosio) Ramos, of Hazelton, Idaho, Hortencia (Marcos) Orosco, of Caldwell, Idaho, Rebeca (George) Zuniga, of Pharr; and five brothers, Domingo (Hermelinda) Alvarez, of Danville, Illinois, Eugenio (Isabel) Alvarez, of Pharr, Manuel Alvarez, of Bastrop, Texas, Ramiro (Delia) Alvarez, of Lubbock, Texas, Luis (Alma) Alvarez, of Mission; and two maternal aunts, Josefa McFarland Tighey and Manuela Ambriz.
