Oscar Gerardo Alvarez Sr.

Oscar Gerardo Alvarez Sr., 63, of Gomez Palacio, Durango, passed away May 31, 2026, in Odessa, Texas, surrounded by those he loved.

Oscar Gerardo Alvarez Sr. was born in Gomez Palacio, Durango, to Rafael Alvarez Urquidez and Elida Hernandez Diaz. He graduated from Odessa High School. He began working at a very young age but finally retired as a Plant Foreman for Martin Resources, where he was a dedicated employee for 30+ years. He was a huge football fan and enjoyed the parlays that came with it. He never turned down a good deal or a bet. You could most likely find him watching old westerns or wrestling. A man who liked to dress to impress, from his gold chains and rings to his tejana and boots. Many close family and friends gave him nicknames such as “El Negro” and “Big Worm”. He was a food connoisseur, from the all-you-can-eat buffets to fine dining, but nothing could measure up to his mother’s asado and rice. Known and loved by so many, a true social butterfly who never met a stranger, making friends everywhere he went. You will be deeply missed, and we will love you forever. Fly high, Pops.
