Jaycob Alba Obituary

Our beloved Jaycob Ray Alba, age 17, unexpectedly passed away on Friday, July 31, 2015. He was born June 2, 1998 in Las Cruces. Jaycob was a loving and caring person who always thought of others. We admired his strength and his ability to look at the brighter side of life. Jaycob had a smile that would light up a room, and will be remembered for his genuinely sincere personality that touched all of our hearts.
Jaycob is survived by his mother, Christina Montes; father, Hector Alba, Sr.; sister, Amanda Montes; brother, Hector Alba, Jr.; a nephew, Zaiden Martinez; grandmother and step-grandfather, Janie and Loren Switzer; grandfather, Ruben Montes; step-grandmother, Sally Montes; aunts, Lauren Switzer, Margaret Contero, Sarah Murrieta and Elizabeth Cisneros; uncles, Ruben Montes, Jason Switzer, and Jesse Rodriguez. Jaycob was preceded in death by his cousin, Alice Hernandez, and his best friend, David Escamilla.

Concluding Service and Interment will follow at St. Joseph Cemetery, 100 N. Espina Street where he will be laid to rest.
Serving as casket bearers will be Hector Alba Jr, Robert Martinez, Angel Giron, Patrick Shannon, Guy Garza, and Lorenzo Mireles.

I met Jaycob and his mother, Christina last year in court. I was shocked to hear about his unexpected and untimely passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family asking God to give you all (especially you, Christina) the strength, endurance and peace as you struggle with the tragic loss of your son. May he rest in peace. God bless you all.

Jacob was an amazing person and an amazing freind that I will never forget knowing. I knew him since beginning of middle school and hanging out with him everyday and playing basketball with him as teamates which was one of his favorite things to do. I'll never forget that. From my family to yours we give our deepest sympathy we will all miss him. Rest in Paradise Jaycob Alba.
