David Olivares Obituary

DAVID G. OLIVARES, a beloved husband, father, son, brother, and friend, left us unexpectedly on Saturday, May 6, 2006. He was born in Santiago, Chile on September 31, 1965, and immigrated with his family to the USA at early age. After graduating from Milby High School, David went on to work in the jewelry industry, where he was very well known and respected. He was a master of this craft and excelled as one of the best. David was an avid sports fan and athlete. Soccer (football) was his favorite sport, where as a player he won the friendship and respect of his peers. David loved to camp out, attend beach parties, and especially be in the company of his family. He very much respected his parents and was a loyal friend. David is survived by his parents, Carlos and Teresa; loving wife, Maria Angelina; daughters, Claudia A. and Stephany; brothers, Jorge Olivares and wife Cecilia, Andres Olivares and wife M. Lourdes, Daniel Olivares and wife Sandra; sister, Claudia Krivosik and husband Gregory; nephews, Allan, Cristian, Gregory and Ronald; nieces, Marite, Leisy, Melissa, Pamela and Catalina. He will also be deeply missed by the Armenta family (Houston), Olivares Aros family (Houston), and Herrera family (Mexico), as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins in Chile, and a host of many, many good friends. He will be remembered forever. We all loved you David! So long Vicho we'll miss you, your family. The family will receive friends on Wednesday, May 10th from 6:00 to 8:00pm with a recitation of Holy Rosary at 7:00pm in the Chapel of Pat H. Foley Funeral Directors. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, May 11, 2006 at 2:30pm at Assumption Catholic Church, 901 Rose Lane, Houston 77037.

It is always so sad to hear that someone has passed away, especially a person you went to school with. We had many classes together and he was always very nice to me. My deepest sympathies.

I am sorry to hear about the loss to the Olivares family, I met David at Deady Jr High, he was a grade higher then me, but I met him through friends, I remember that tall skinny guy, always laughing and joking, he was my escort in the first 15th I stood in fun. Then when we went on to Milby, he was still the same, he graduated a year before me in 84 I would see him in the summer and he was still the same old guy from Jr high, as the years went on people loose touch with old friends, never saw after that, but I know that he was and will always be that silly guy from Jr High, Mr & Mrs. Olivares, I am so sorry for you loss also to the wife and kids, you all will be in my prayers at all time, God was ready to take his son home to be at his side.
