Born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley of south Texas, Alex moved to California in 1956 after his honorable discharge from the U. S. Army.

He was known by Valley cotton growers for his contributions and innovations in the production and harvest of cotton. A long time resident of Huron, he built and established several small businesses before finalizing his retirement and moving to Coalinga to be closer to family in 1995.

Alex was an accomplished and generous man devoted to family, church and community.
