I’m so sorry to hear about Alfred‘s passing. Can you tell me how he passed away? I think the last time I spoke to him was early last year. He and I we dated for about a year and a half and then I had family issues so, I had to tend to that and so we kinda lost touch with each other but I’m so sorry to hear about this and is passing

Sending condolences from Oceanside, CA. Alfred and I became friends on Instagram back around 2014. Though we never met in person, Alfred was a source of light and kindness every year and was always so supportive and cheered me on as I got married and had my first daughter. I was worried about him recently and decided to try to look him up. I’m absolutely gutted that he’s gone and that I didn’t get to say goodbye. He will be truly missed. Sending hugs to Alfred’s family.

My sincere condolences to the Avila family. I knew Alfred when he lived in Tucson before returning to California.  He was one of the kindest souls I've ever met. His love of reggae music and enjoying life was contagious.  He will be greatly missed. Much love to you always Alfred, until we meet again ❤️

Miss you every day. You’ve touched many hearts and lives in your time here. You were the best friend for many and a brother as well.

One of our many disney trips, having so much in the park with our passes then. Making fun of me of how giddy I would get and do a happy dance when I saw the castle for a millionth time.

Our first Padres game, having a blast even though they lost

The day a huge hawk almost took off with the dog while I was dog sitting and then while taking this photo, dog jumped out of frame and into the water to eat a 🐸 !  Don't worry the frog got away and we had the best laughs!!!

Rooted my poor bowling skills while in a league!😆

My deepest condolences to Alfred family and friends. He was a really kind person and good friend. I have comfort knowing that he will be reunited with his dad up in heaven.

Freddy,

You were so much fun to be around. Always up for adventures, a sly smile on your face, a laugh ready to be given. Thank you for your friendship and care. You are missed and loved!

This was the last time Amanda and I visited you in SD, right before you were one of our Groom’s Men. We were honored to have you in our wedding party, and I know I speak for Mandy too, when I say “I love you, and will never forget you” Rest in Love, my reggae brother 🇯🇲✊🏼❤️

Uncle Fred, as we affectionately referred to you as, our hearts are broken to hear you parted with this life. You became family to us and we will always remember you as such. Tonight I learned of your passing, tonight I mourn you, but forever I will celebrate you. You were one of a kind and I am so thankful to have known you. Thank you for your friendship, kindness, and for loving our dogs (whom absolutely adored you!). We send our deepest condolences to your friends and family.

My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. He was always there as a friend to lend that ear or shoulder to cry on. I've known you, it seems, since the 90s. You had a heart of gold, and it sadden me to hear of your passing. May you Rest in Paradise dear sweet friend 🙏🏼🤍🕊

Alfred, you left an indelible mark on my life. For over three decades, we laughed, learned, and leaned on each other. You were more than a friend; you were family.
You taught me the art of pool, patiently guiding my clumsy shots until I could sink a ball with confidence. Our car rides were symphonies of reggae beats and soulful blues—your passion for music contagious. And oh, those tamales! Your mother’s kitchen was a haven of flavors, where warmth and love mingled in every bite.
You introduced me to my first White Russian drink, and whenever I come across it I think of you. I miss you, my soul brother. Until we meet again on the other side.
