In Loving Memory of Salvador Olivas
With heavy hearts, we mourn the loss of my stepdad, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and an important part of our family. His life was unexpectedly cut short by a tragic accident, but his memory will live on forever in all of us.
He is survived by his loving wife, Norma Olivas, who shared a love story with him that was truly special. They didn’t just marry once, they found their way back to each other and married twice, a testament to the love and bond they shared.
He was a hardworking man who was always doing something. He was also a great mechanic, a skill he took great pride in. He was deeply loved and respected by the people he worked with, and his presence at work will be greatly missed.
If he wasn’t working, you could often find him late at night in the kitchen making sweets for his grandkids. He loved spoiling them, and those little moments brought so much happiness to our family. The memories of him in the kitchen, the treats he made, the laughter, and the experiences they shared are moments we will forever cherish.
He is also survived by his sisters, Magdalena Olivas and Esmeralda Olivas, and his brothers, José G. Olivas, José Ángel Olivas, and David Olivas, along with his family and loved ones who will continue to carry his memory in their hearts.
He now joins his beloved son, Salvador Olivas Jr., and his brother, Oliverio Olivas, in the Kingdom of Heaven. We find comfort in knowing that they are together again.
Although his time with us was far too short, the love he gave and the memories he created will stay with us forever. He will continue to live on through the stories we tell, the moments we remember, and the love we carry in our hearts.
We will miss you more than words can say. Thank you for the love, the memories, the late nights in the kitchen, and all the little things that meant so much. You will forever be a part of us.
