Efrain Oliva Obituary
Beloved husband to Jeanette and the late Ydalia. Loving father to Amanda (Ken) Hartsuck, Sara (Darrell) Campbell, and Jonathan (fiancée Gail) Oliva. Loving Step-Father to Robert (Jamie) Pluszczynski, Bradley (Melissa) Pluszczynski and Jeffrey (Johanna) Pluszczynski. Dear grandfather to Brittany, Isabella, Christian, Brendan, Jacob, Jonah, Maddox, Ezekiel, Autumn, Alex, Austin and the late Cody, Samuel, Ydalia and Ida. Son to Efrain Oliva Sr. and the late Graciela Oliva. Dear brother to Fidel (Miriam) Oliva and Grace (Rueben) Valdes.
Efrain worked as a Metallurgist at Carbide Technologies for 23 years. He was a spontaneous man who loved taking day trips to see the water, lighthouses, and sunsets. Efrain enjoyed the stars and astronomy but most of all he loved God and his family. Efrain was a proud Christian who was comforted in knowing all his children knew God. He was affectionately known by his grandchildren as Pepa, Lito, and Pop Pop Buttons.
A Memorial Visitation will take place Saturday, May 6, 2017 from 12pm until time of the Memorial Service at 3pm at Kaul Funeral Home 35201 Garfield, Clinton Township, Michigan.
