Alejandro Ricardo Macias

Alex departed this world on May 23, 2023, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories. Alex was born on September 4, 1968 (54 years old). A McAllen native Alex attended Bowie Elementary and graduated from McAllen High School. Where he participated in the Special Olympics throughout his life.

Alex was the youngest of seven siblings, a position he embraced with enthusiasm as he was known to most as our "Gordo", "Baby Boy" "Papacito" and "Little Brother."

Survived by sister Margaret Macias, brothers Raul (Emily) Macias, Martin (Glenda) Macias, and Jorge (Estella) Macias. Joined in heaven by his parents Manuel N. Macias and Maria M. Macias "Chita", brothers Jaime N. Macias, and Manuel N. Macias "Nick" (Marisa Guerra Macias). Cared for by niece Jessica Macias, and family friend Juanita Martinez.

Alejandro shared a special bond with each of his family members, and their collective love and support nurtured him throughout his life. With his radiant personality he could instantly light up any room he entered. Alex enjoyed spending time with his family members, especially his brothers. He enjoyed working at MGM, listening to music and rooting for the Cowboys and Spurs. Alex made a lasting heart felt connection with anyone he encountered, where ever he would go.
