Jesus Balboa Alvarez Jr., 79, joined his Lord and Savior on June 22, 2019. He was born on October 18, 1939, in Corpus Christi, Texas. He is preceded in death by his parents Jesus Alvarez Sr., Ignacia Alvarez, and brother Ernesto Alvarez. Jesus was a graduate from Roy Miller High School and attended Del Mar College. He was a veteran of the United States Air Force, a retiree after 50 years of service as a letter carrier in the United States Postal Service and a 3rd degree member of the Knights of Columbus #7038 at St. Joseph Catholic Church. He was a member of the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Branch 1259.
He loved to cook especially BBQing, having a cold one before he went sober, and loving his family. He never hesitated to cook food for people and would always offer to cater parties, get-togethers, or religious celebrations. Jesus was a loving husband, father, Tio, and friend. He always wanted to make sure everyone who was close to him was living a good life, and if they were down on their luck he would always try to help. He loved people and could talk to anyone and be their friend. He could bring a smile and a laugh to many with his jokes.
He leaves his wife Alicia Romero Alvarez of 53 years of marriage and his four children: Melissa Wilmot (Joe), Rene Alvarez (Eva), Daniel Alvarez (Mindy), and Manuel Alvarez; four siblings: Mary Alice Hernandez (Luis), Tony Alvarez (Esther), Lupe Arredondo (Ruben), and Johnny Alvarez, (Sylvia); 12 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
Interment will be at 11:00 a.m., at Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetery
