Alvaro moved to El Paso, TX in the mid-1970s. He became one of Jehovah's Witnesses on December 24, 1988. Inspired by “He that does not love has not come know God, because God is love” (1 John 4:8), he faithfully devoted his life completely to the full-time ministry as a regular pioneer minister. Alvaro retired from El Paso County where he worked for Parks & Recreation and Road & Bridges divisions.

He was a social butterfly and befriended all who he met. Alvaro made deep connections with not only Brothers and Sisters, but community members throughout DFW. Beyond his immediate personal connections, Alvaro had a profound love for the Earth and could frequently be seen caring for life in any setting. He was loved by many and will never be forgotten.
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”
