Yakima, WA - Alejandro, 40, passed away on March 14, 2026, following a brief critical illness, surrounded by his loving family.

He left behind his wife and high school sweetheart, Pauli, and their two beautiful daughters, Peyton Amilia and Palmer Amia, whom he adored; parents, George and Rosemary Juarez; his sisters Sophia and Georgina Juarez; his nieces, nephews, and in-laws.

He began his career in banking at the age of 18, where he built lasting relationships with colleagues, customers, and friends. He was known for his strong work ethic -- a trait he inherited fro his father -- and often worked multiple jobs.

Alejandro was a devoted and loving father who never missed a school event or special moment in his daughters' lives. He cherished time with family, often playfully reenacting WWE matches. His love of sports began in childhood, as standout Little League catcher on the team coached by his father, with his mother as his biggest fan. He also liked golfing with his family and took every opportunity to go. One of his biggest adventures was going on a deep-sea fishing trip on the Pacific Ocean with the Juarez family. Camping trips and vacations were especially important to him, going to Hawaii, Mexico, and North Carolina. A passionate sports fan, he proudly supported the Indianapolis Colts, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Oakland Athletics. He also loved music, especially Michael Jackson -- whose dance moves he often imitated -- and the Foo Fighters, which he enjoyed blasting in his truck with his nephews and nieces.

He loved decorating his home for the holidays, always striving to have the best house on the block. He always wanted to go bigger and bolder every year. If you drove by his house on Halloween, you were in for a treat with all the animation, lights, and fog.

He would always have his daughter Peyton by his side. He will be deeply missed in life's everyday moments -- coffee stand meetups, barbecues, birthday celebrations, calling his family for help on any project, holidays, and Sunday doughnuts -- he will be remembered as an incredible son, husband, father, brother, and uncle, whose memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved him.
