Alvaro "Avi" Aldape

Alvaro “Avi” Aldape, went to be with the Lord on August 6th, at the age of 29.

Beloved son of Ana L. Valdez and Agustin J. Aldape.  Loving brother of Jamie, Omar, Agustin Jr. and Betzy Aldape, Nivia Munoz, and the late Eddie Munoz.  Beloved uncle of Eli Aldape. Dear grandson of Maria Salas Cisneros, Aurelio Valdez, Reymunda Sánchez and the late Pablo Aldape.  Survived by many family members and friends.

Avi was an adorable human being.  What made Avi so loving was his nature to reciprocate genuine, sincere kindness towards mankind. If you know Avi, the first gift he would give to you was his bright smile along with a warm hug.  A second gift was being a great big brother to his brothers Omar and Eddie.  Sometimes a silly younger brother to Jaime, usually trying to pull a prank on him, but he can always be remembered for being playful.  His big personality would love to make you laugh.

He found his calling in life in his 20’s which was driving a semi.  He would invite his siblings and friends to check out his sleeping bed in the semi.  He made it his own personal man cave that he loved to retreat in.

Throughout life he would make friends in the numbers because he was a sociable person.  Avi’s charismatic nature would brighten up all rooms when he arrived.  Honestly the party began when Avi arrived at the scene.

You could learn so much from Avi as he would entertain or debate with you and share strong faith in our heavenly Father Jehovah.  Avi would display loving admiration for all children.  Many times he expressed his desire to guide children in foster care.  Little Gio, who he loved deeply, would refer to Avi as (Apa) grandpa who would take him to get ice cream.  Avi’s heart was loving his little guy, “Jiovanni Ray”.

Avi's 29 years of life was spent enjoying companionship and reciprocating respect and kindness towards others.  Let us live in peace, harmony and kindness as you reflect. Remember this was Avi’s motto in life.

Remembering Isaiah 48:18 - “Jehovah is our grand instructor.  The one guiding you in the way you should walk. If only you would pay attention to my commandments, then your peace would become just like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.”
