Salinas

Everardo Salazar (Lalo), 75, of Salinas, passed away March 4, 2017, surrounded by his loving family. Everardo was born July 1, 1941 in Tamazula, Durango, Mexico, to Basilio and Anastacia (Sosa) Salazar.

At the age of 15, he and his family moved to Tecolotes, Baja, CA. At the age of 18, he joined the Mexican Military. In 1969, he came to California on the Bacerros Program. He worked at Ninomi Nursery for approximately 25 years. He enjoyed experimenting with flower seeds mastering in roses, creating hybrid roses, gardening, growing root and leaf vegetables, fruit and some herbs. We occasionally enjoyed a pot of beans from his garden. His greatest enjoyment was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. 

He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Virginia Guerra Salazar; daughters, Beatriz Salazar and Amelia (Baltazar) Zavala; sons, Everardo (Elizabeth) Salazar Jr., Bacilio (Raquel) Salazar and Alexander Salazar, all from Salinas; grandchildren, Benjamin Zavala, Avelina and Everardo III (EJ) Salazar and Angel Salazar; sister, Eladia Salazar and Guillermo Salazar, both from Baja, CA, and Alfredo (Martha) Salazar of San Jose, along with many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Everardo was preceded in death by his parents, Basilio and Anastacia Salazar, and his brother, Manuel Salazar.
