Ernesto Olveda

Ernesto Olveda, a beacon of strength, wisdom, and unwavering love, passed away on October 3, 2025, in Eagle Pass, Texas. Born on June 18, 1942, in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, Ernesto's journey was one of resilience and tenacity that inspired all who were fortunate enough to cross his path. He carried with him the spirit of his birthplace, infusing his life with a vibrant Mexican heritage that became his signature. Ernesto's life was a testament to the quote by Jaime Sabines, "I don't know if I have lived to live or to tell stories."

Ernesto was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Maria Olvera, his partner in life and love. Together, they built a life filled with joy, laughter, and the shared understanding that comes from a lifetime of shared experiences. Ernesto was preceded in death by his father, Ernesto Olveda, and his mother, Aurora Montalvo. Their guiding light continued to steer him throughout his life, inspiring him to be a beacon for others.

A service will be held in Ernesto's honor at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, located at 2055 Williams Street, Eagle Pass, Texas, on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at 11:00 am CDT. As we gather to remember and celebrate Ernesto's extraordinary life, we remember the words of Octavio Paz, "Deserve your dream." Ernesto deserved his dream and lived it to the fullest, leaving a remarkable legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come.

In the midst of our sorrow, let us come together to celebrate a life well-lived and remember the man who touched so many lives with his kindness, his wisdom, and his love.
