Raul Alarcon

Posted

Our dear father, brother, brother in-law, uncle, Tata and Great-Grandpa Raul Alarcon has passed. 

We’ll all miss Papa Raul very much. He was a very intelligent man who loved all of his family very much. He loved playing his guitar and singing at our family gatherings and at home. He loved rodeos as a young man in Mexico and enjoyed crafting toys for kids. He cared very deeply for all people. 

He prayed for everybody constantly and loved Jehovah God and his Son Jesus so much.

He is survived by his wife Gertrude Provencio-Alarcon; his siblings Ramiro Alarcon, Rafael Alarcon, Jorge Alarcon and María Alarcon; his son Carlos Alarcon; stepchildren Linda Ortiz, Albert Soriano, Judy Ulivarri, James McDaniel, Ken McDaniel, John McDaniel and David McDaniel; granddaughter Ida (Fernando) Noriega; and many more grandsons, granddaughters, and great-grandsons and great-granddaughters. 

We praise our Heavenly Father Jehovah for giving us the hope of the resurrection because we know that very soon, he will awaken those that we have lost. (John 5:28,29)

His Memorial services are set for Dec. 16, 2023, at 1 p.m., at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 5985 Electric Dr., Miami, Az.

May we all take comfort in the words found at 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 and Revelation 21:3,4 in our Bible.
