We just recently found out about Alfred's death, thru another classmate. My husband and I knew Alfred and attended school with him in Tularosa NM. My husband went to school with him since grade school and I came along during middle school. He was always quiet, but an very intelligent guy. To the Paredez family, we send our deepest condolences and will pray for the continued healing for ur family.

As Alfred's Mom, I will be ever so proud of Alfred. He has given me so much. I smile as I think about him in his uniform so proud to be a soldier. It was an amazing thing to see him as a strong and brave man. How my little boy had grown up. His memories will live forever in our hearts.

To the Paredez family:
May the comfort from family and friends continue to strengthen you, and may you find comfort in the words found in the Holy Scriptures: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

To the Paredez Family,
SGT Paredez was a great man who always had a smile on his face. He was my NCO/supervisor but he also was a good friend who helped me through my deployment. I was there 20 NOV 07 sitting in the seat behind your son. Not a day goes by where I don't think about what happened. I know Alfred is in a better place now. As I finish my 2nd tour in Iraq and my Army career I will always be honored to have served with such a great man.

I would like to Thank everyone who has shown love and support for Alfred and our family. Alfred was adorable as a child. He was full of love and kisses. As he grew up in to a teen, he was always making jokes and making funny voices to entertain us. As he grew into a man, I became very proud of him. He cared so much for me and his sister Isabel and Ray. He had good sound advice to give and he would have inspring and encouraging words. I just love to listen to him talk. It has been two years now since Alfred has been gone from us. We still miss him as if it was the first day that we had recieved the sad news of his death. We will miss Alfred deeply. He turned out to be a FINE MAN. The Good Lord has made our days a little easier and has comforted us when we needed it.
Blessings to all that have shown repect and who have honor my son Sgt. Alfred G. Paredez Jr.
With a Thankful Heart to all.

I can still hear your goofy laugh and your corny jokes. Two years later, I can see your face clear as day as you left and I will never forget that. I will always think of you and will do my best to live my life honorably for you.

We love our Soldiers! We love our country and we cannot express enough love and compassion to the families at this time. This is a Nonprofit Organization to honor are Soldiers!

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 Alfred, 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.

ALFRED WAS A GREAT NEPHEW, PERSON, & ABOVE ALL AN AMERICAN HERO. I WISH I COULD HAVE TRADED PLACES WITH HIM,I KNOW HE WAS WONDERFUL SON, BROTHER, GRANDSON, &UNCLE I WILL NEVER FORGET HIS LOVING KINDNESS. HIS SHYNESS WHEN WE FIRST MET. IF YOU EVER NEED TOO TALK ANYTIME CALL.LOVE U ALWAYS YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW DARRELL

With the deepest regret, I have just learned of the death of Sergeant Paredez. As a Vietnam Veteran and the State Chaplain of the Georgia Society, Sons Of The American Revolution, I speak for our President, Charlie A. Newcomer, III and the more than 1,400 SAR members around the State of Georgia in humbly expressing the condolences of a grateful Society. Wrapped in the integrity of service to our nation and the inestimable values of duty, honor and country, your American hero stood on a wall of freedom for us all. This precious life, lived and lost in love of America, epitomized every attribute of patriotism the Sons Of The American Revolution hold dear. And, as Americans, we could never repay the debt we owe ..!! Nor the debt we owe you… the family of one of America's best ...!!!
