Alejandro “Alex” Ruvalcaba was beloved by everyone. He had lots of family and friends and never met a stranger. He was always there to help you if you needed it. You just had to ask.
He came to the United States in 1993 and lived with his brother, Mario, and his family. Then later he lived with his brother Joe and his wife and helped them raise their children in Broken Arrow, where he lived until he passed away.
Alex worked for several places doing maintenance, painting, and final landscaping for Land Care. He was proud of how nice the areas looked when he was done. He also enjoyed working in his own yard and making it look nice.
Everyone always said Alex was a wonderful cook. He credited his mother for teaching him to cook, and always thanked her when he was done eating. He should have been a chef. He missed his calling.
Besides cooking, he also loved to shop for nice clothes. He wore uniforms and got dirty a lot so he liked to dress nice on the weekends. Alex was preceded in death by his parents, Jesus Ruvalcaba and Maria Zambrano.He had one son, Erik Ruvalcaba.
He is survived by:

Alex was a very religious man and loved God. He was Catholic and believed God was always with him and prayed all the time for his friends and family. He was at peace with his illness and at peace with God.
