Avaristo Alvarez, Jr. (51), passed away in his sleep on July 20, 2020 at his home in Los Fresnos.  He was born in Chicago, Illinois on June 27, 1969.

Throughout his life, Avaristo served his community as a peace officer for the Constable’s Office in San Benito, Texas and the Cameron County Sheriff’s Department.

Avaristo will be remembered as a devoted father, selfless son, caring husband, and loving brother.  Anyone who met him loved him and could see what a huge heart he had and he was the heart of our family.  His favorite pastime was spending time with his son and sharing his love of music and movies with his friends and family.
