Alex Oceguera Obituary

Rest in peace.

Hola bro, si vieras a papá te llenarías de tristeza, él esta tan sólo y cada día te recuerda, al igual que nosotras,a veces me gana la nostalgia por tu partida, como el día de hoy, todo sería tan distinto si estuvieras aquí, I really miss u

Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let your family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this holiday season and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Alex Oceguera US Army Private 1st Class.

We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.

We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Sincerely,

It's our turn now young fella, time for you to rest we've got your back, step down and leave it to us we will be there for you and yours. there's a cold one waiting and a comfortable chair, kick back your job is done.

Not a day goes by that I don't miss you; I miss you more than words can ever explain... I. Wonder "Who You'd Be Today". That song by Kenny Chesney reminds me of you and makes me cry each time I hear it. Its as though it was written for everything it he says is exactly how I feel and what goes on in my head...Life is not the same without you here. Your nephews are getting so big Matthew is starting High School Anthony Jr High. Angel reminds me a lot of you, he is tall, handsome and very smart I know if u were still around u guys would most likely team up on me in talking smack or lecturing me. I wish I could just see u and give u a huge hug and tell u all the things I didn't have a chance to say...I love you, bro. Till we meet again, until then I ask God to give me strengh to get me through the day/s when I just wanna give up

Alex, I remember u as a kid! Lidia use to be like ur lil mommy! She took very good care of u always! Alex give ur sis the strength and love to be in a good place!
Thinking of u!

Come marching home
Brave soldier boy
Comes marching home

Hey Alex,
Like Lita said our grandma passed away this morning. I know that you, our grandpa, our two tios that we never knew in this world, and now our grandma are all together in a better place. I miss you a lot cousin

Hi Alex, Today our Grandma passed away. I know she's with you and our Grandpa now, I know you'll take care of her. I Love You.

God Bless You, OC.

Three years now and I think about them everyday. Alex, Doug, and CJ will be in our thoughts and prayers forever as will all of you.

It's almost been 3 years and I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I wish you were still here brother. I pray for your friends and family everyday. Take care.

I wonder as I wander
Our under the sky
Why do people I care about
Always have to die?
Are you happy where you are?
Wherever that may be?
I wonder as I wander,
Do you still think of me?
I look up at the winter sky,
And Shed a single tear.
I think of all the days gone by,
I’ll always hold you dear.

A los familiares y amigos de Alex Oceguera:
Antes que nada deseo expresarles mi más sentido pésame por el fallecimiento de Alex. Aunque ya han pasado algunos años desde su muerte, seguramente el dolor y el vacío que dejó todavía están presentes y es por eso que hoy les escribo.
Quiero compartir con los familiares y amigos de Alex las maravillosas promesas de Dios para el futuro cercano. Debido a que Dios sabe cuánto dolor causa nuestro mayor enemigo, la muerte, Él ha hecho arreglos para eliminarla por completo. La Biblia en Isaías 4:8 dice que “Él realmente se tragará a la muerte para siempre, y el Señor Soberano Jehová ciertamente limpiará las lágrimas de todo rostro”. ¡Qué maravilloso es saber que muy pronto la muerte no tendrá poder sobre nosotros y no habrá nada que nos cause lágrimas!
Para los que ya han sido víctimas de este enemigo, como en el caso de Alex, también hay una gran esperanza. Cuando Jesús estuvo en la Tierra él prometió: “Así como el Padre levanta a los muertos y los vivifica, así el Hijo también vivifica a los que él quiere. […] No se maravillen de esto, porque viene la hora en que todos los que están en las tumbas conmemorativas oirán su voz [la de Jesús] y saldrán”. (Juan 5: 21, 28, 29) Así es, muy pronto Alex Oceguera oirá el llamado de Jesucristo y será levantado a la vida de nuevo. Entonces todos sus familiares y amigos le podrán dar la bienvenida y podrán recibirlo con un fuerte abrazo.
Realmente deseo que estas palabras y escrituras bíblicas sirvan de alivio y esperanza ante el dolor que ha dejado la pérdida de Alex.
Sinceramente,
Ana Méndez

Dear Alex,

I know we never met but when my cousins told me about your passing away, and telling me about us being related it touch my heart. Thank you for being as brave and fighting for our country! God bless you and your family, Always! Just give them that strenght they will always need to continue in life!

Our family will never forget your name. Though we never met you our families will be forever linked. You are a true hero. From the Sloan's-My brother Doug was KIA with Alex on 10-31-06

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Alex, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

My condolence and prayers to the Oceguera Family. I came across this site, when I was searching for the “Oceguera Family Tree” This is my father’s last name too. Not very common either.
You must be going through difficult times in the loss of your son, Alex. I have a son in the service and everyday I think of him, if I’m going to see him again.
My heart goes to all of you. Stay strong and may God Bless you and give strength.

In Memory of a Soldier and a Friend


My heart is torn and my feelings are so broken inside,
my eyes so red and swollen, these tears I cannot hide.
God I miss you so much each and every day.
ever since the angels came that day and called you away.

Each time I look back on the memories I have of you,
I ask God why, wasn't there anything I could do?
I don't like this pain that I constantly feel,
I didn't want this to be true but I know that it's real.

You were a soldier and yes, duty was your call,
but I didn't want to hear that trumpet play the final call.
I tried so hard not to believe the words they told me, I even tried to block it all out,
I even tried to yell at God, but all I could do was barely shout.

Each day seems so distant, dreamlike, and unreal,
and I can't stop visiting all the pain that I feel.
Whenever I see our flag, I picture it draped on a soldier's coffin,
and it reminds me of you and all those who gave so often.

I try not to take anything for granted in each and every day,
and I hold our memories close to my heart where they will always stay.
Sometimes at night the dreams I have tease and haunt me,
of the visions of you here and what used to be.

I have even woke up calling your name,
It's like I caught myself slowly going insane.
I often stop and think about you,
but even I can't imagine all that you must have went through.

Why did it have to be you to leave?
All I do now is cry and grieve.
I pray that it was fast and the pain wasn't to much to bear,
As I lay awake, at your picture I stare.

I carry this picture I have of you where ever I may go,
so that people will understand the price you paid, so that they will all know.
I want to scream and shout and tell everyone why you aren't here today,
that it's not fair but war never is, at least that's what they say.

So why does it all have to end like this?
I just want you back, if only I had one wish.
Many of us have cried so many unstopable tears,
but that's just because we wanted you here.

I cry, I yell, and I shout all night at God that this just isn't right, it just isn't fair,
but it just seems like I am yelling at an empty sky with no one really there.
I try to live my life the best I can each day,
but it's always so hard when I feel this way.

So many soldiers have paid the ultimate price,
but I guess you always knew the possible sacrifce.
You were an amazing soldier, a strong warrior, a hero, and a true friend,
and I know that death is never a final end.

But anyone who knew you would agree that it's just so hard to say goodbye,
and I remember on the night that you died the sky was dark, even stars shone in the sky.
So much heartache and this constant lingering sorrow,
I don't always look to forward to waking up tommorow.

I can't stop asking why,
I can't stop these tears that I cry.
I don't know if I will ever truly understand,
but I do know that you are with God in that far away land.

No matter how many years may come to pass,
these memories of you will always last.
So please forgive me for not wanting to let you go,
but it's just because I cared for you so.

I am sorry things ended up this way,
and it's not fair that with your life, you had to pay.
Too many sacrifices have already been made,
in this realm, every soldier should have stayed.

All I can do now is hope and pray, and wait to see you again,
a Soldier, a Warrior, a True Hero, and a True Friend.

(In loving memory of a soldier and a friend)

I Love and Miss you so much Alex, I'll never forget you, I Promise!!!

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Pfc Oceguera and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

The Last time i signed one of these it was for my dad, I never thought i would sign this for someone i would walked side by side in high school for a whole year after wieght lifting. We had some pretty funny times didnt we. Words cannot express the sorrow and the pain that is felt to see your picture and know that there wont be any others ofter its time. Alex I hope you know that theres people down here who still love and know that your in a better place. Im very gratefull and honored to know that I knew someone who died doing what they believed in...Standin up for what you believe in...huh...thats a term very loosely used in todays society...But when that some one commits the act of standin up and goin through what you did you become an inspiration and a hero. People like you don t die they go on to live as long as your name is remembered. Even though it is nt the same nor dose it even amount to even half of who you are its still there for people to know there is such thing as a heros and legends. Make sure that you watch over all your friends down here in the 909. Take care dog and I wont forget.

A true American hero.God bless Alex and his family.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS. I HAVE JUST LEARNED OF YOUR GREAT LOSS AND WISH TO EXPRESS MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES. PLEASE KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT HERE WHO DO CARE AND YOUR HERO WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR TREASURED MEMORIES THAT HIS SPECIAL SMILE MAY CONTINUE TO SHINE ON. I PRAY THAT PEACE WILL FIND YOU ALL SOMEDAY. STAY STRONG AND GODSPEED. SEMPER FI

To the Oceguera Family. I think of Alex every single day. I know that Mike misses him terribly. I'm sure that he is still with his guys over there. I can see him in my mind, spreading his wings to shield them from any harm. He is a true hero and will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Oceguera Family,
I cannot imagine the heartache you have endured by losing such a wonderful man in your lives. Alex was also one of my son's best friends and touched his life thru the 10th mountain. Our condolences are with you. You now have an angel watching over you for the rest of your lives. Alex is in very good hands now and God has wrapped HIS arms around him to comfort him as I am sure your faith will comfort you. God Bless.
Love & Prayers

With a burdened heart and a troubled mind,
I kneel by the side of his grave
And I cry for my brother, I love so much,
For no longer can I be brave.

I know he'd hate to see me cry.
But, everything's gone wrong
And I need to tell him I love him.
I haven't told him in so long.

He used to dry my tears away
And put a smile in their place.
Oh God, I'd be so happy
If I could only see his face.

You see, I miss him terribly.
We were close, him and I.
He taught me so many things, Lord.
He took the time to answer why.

Why did he have to leave me?
I feel so all alone.
I long to hear his voice again,
To call him on the phone.

Oh Lord, please give me strength
To bear this awful pain.
Tell him that I love him, Lord.
Slow these tears that fall like rain.

Assure me that we'll meet again,
Upon your Golden Shore,
And once more he'll be my brother
In Heaven, forever more...

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers

Soldiers write history, we pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still

We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever

Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away

Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go

We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light

Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray

Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound

Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

Please accept our condolences for the loss of your loved one, and our prayers that you find peace and consolation in God’s grace. We are indebted to your Soldier for his great sacrifice and we will not forget.

My Alex it's been almost 3 months since you've passed and I still don't want to believe your gone I still think that your out there somewhere smiling and laughing and joking around like always! There will always be an emptiness in my heart where you were but you still remain in there because i will never forget you and everything you did you are so brave and heroic and I love you always for that! my prayers go out to your Mom and family and especially the love of your life Elizabeth. I miss you soldier and I really wish it could've been me! I love you mijo!

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

May God strengthen their loved ones and bless and comfort your family and all those who mourn Alex's memory.

I wish i could see you one last time, to tell you everything i now feel i should have told you. Thank you for the reat memories you left me and everyone else who came in contact with you. You were so special to be around, and everyone you met noticed that. Thank you for always being you, and that great smile we will never forget. Con mucho Honor y Amor ..... Te Quiero Mucho
