Salvador R. Vera was born on December 22, 1936 in Cañada de Caracheo, Guanajuato, Mexico. He passed away peacefully at home with his family by his side on September 25 in Fremont, California. He leaves behind his wife, Celestina Vera of 65 years of marriage. His five living daughters, Rosa Maria Vera Piña, Patricia Vera Figueroa, Martha Ochoa, Guillermina Vera Bonansea, Elizabeth Vera Candelaria, and one living son, Salvador Vera Jr. He is also survived by 19 grandchildren: Rafael De La Cruz, Sonia De La Cruz McKibbin, Monica Chavez, Daniel Chavez, Rachel Chavez, Eran Figueroa, Sal Figueroa, Elizabeth Figueroa, Alejandro Ochoa, Vanessa Wintgens, Selina Vera, Christina Vera Hinojosa, Ruben Vera, Manuel Vera, Anthony Smith, Angela Smith, Jessica Diaz, Lena Pacheco, Adam Pacheco, and many great grandchildren.

He moved to California in 1961 and later joined by his wife and children. He also became a U.S. citizen in 1986. He worked as a landscaper and general contractor for many years; was very proud of his profession, hard work and the many people he met along the way. He will be remembered fondly by his shining smile, charismatic nature, great sense of humor and love of his family and friends. Salvador was a devout Catholic and in his free time he loved spending time gardening either in his home or the homes of his daughters and son, enjoying time getting to know his close neighbors, listening to beautiful and romantic music of many great Mexican singers, and loved sharing stories of his past and the many adventures of his family’s journey to the United States.

    Querida comadre Celestina, en estos días me he acordado mucho de ustedes y de los momentos tan lindos que vivimos juntos, al punto que sentí la necesidad de buscarlos por medio del Internet y me voy enterando que el Señor llamó a gozar de Su presencia a mi querido compadre Chava. Aunque ha pasado ya poco más de un mes, quiero unirme a ti y a toda la familia y expresarles mis sinceras condolencias así como ofrecerles mi solidaridad y mis oraciones por el eterno descanso de nuestro querido Chava. A pesar del tiempo que ha pasado sin vernos y la distancia que nos separa, la fe en Jesús y nuestra amistad nos une, especialmente en momentos como éste. Reciban mis condolencias y mi cariño, Desde San Antonio, Texas, Jaime González (Rebeca se nos adelantó en el camino a la eternidad desde marzo del año pasado), 20507 Cliff Park Lane. San Antonio, TX 78258 (831) 229-4388
