Joe Alberto Alvarado, Sr. completed his earthly journey on October 4, 2022 at the young age of 52.

A beloved husband, father and pop pop to his 3 beautiful grandchildren: Mazilyn Monroe, Jose (Baby Joe) Martin Legend, and Kinsley Nicole. He was a graduate from Roy Miller High School. Was proudly employed at the Corpus Christi Army Depot as an aircraft mechanic for over 20 years. He loved to barbecue, support the Dallas Cowboys and most importantly spend time with his wife, kids and grandkids. He was a jokester and if you needed to find him, he was most likely at the One Market #2 on Carroll Lane scratching lottos. His carefree spirit, beautiful smile and sick sense of humor will forever be missed.

He is preceded in death by his mother Juana Gloria (Elizar) Pena; his father Jose G. Acosta; and his baby brother Edgar Alvarado Pena.

Jose is survived by the love of his life, wife of 30 years Vanessa Lynn Alvarado; his children Jodie (Chris) Alvarado, Jose (Kristian) Alvarado Jr. Jazmine (Jorge) Alvarado, Joria (Alejandro) Alvarado and Baby (Sunky) Alvarado. His brother-in-law Armando Salinas. His siblings: Elizar (Valerie) Pena, Elliot (Lupe) Pena, Elsa (Leo) Flores and his extended siblings, uncles, aunts and numerous other members of the family and countless friends whom he loved.
