Mercedes - Gonzalo Alvarado Jr. passed away at the age of 63 on Saturday, March 28, 2026. Funeral arrangements are under the care of Hawkins Funeral Home in Weslaco.
Gonzalo Alvarado Jr. lived a life marked by both struggle and strength. Though his path was not always easy, he faced it with a resilience that never gave up.
His love for our Lord and his faith carried him through his hardest days. In that faith, he found comfort, purpose, and the courage to keep going. He also enjoyed going to church. It was his sense of therapy, and he felt a strong sense of belonging being called a “Son of God.”
He was a proud Veteran and Patriot. He had a love for his country. He was a survivor, a fighter, and a deeply loved brother. His strength will live on in all who knew him. He enjoyed having good camaraderie with his friends and enjoying great food.
“The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” Psalm 118:14
