Alejandro Basilio Obituary

Visit the Calvillo Funeral Home & Chapel website to view the full obituary.

Alejandro Jesus “A.J.” Basilio was born April 7, 2006, to Roberto and Maria Basilio.  He was a student at Coronado High School and worked in construction, he was known to be a very hard worker. He enjoyed playing with games and with his dog “Bruno”. However, more than anything Alejandro loved spending time with his family, they will always remember how “A.J.” was always smiling, laughing and just being goofy. He was a free spirit and enjoyed all that life had to offer.

On October 9, Alejandro was taken from his family much too early by our standards. He is survived by his parents Roberto and Maria Basilio of Lubbock; brothers, Juan Salazar, Jose Basilio, Marcos Salazar, Jose De Jesus Basilio, Lorenzo Ybarra and Miguel Basilio all of Lubbock; his sisters, Maria Salazar, Esmeralda Basilio and Liliana Basilio all of Lubbock; his dog “Bruno”, as well as many uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, in laws, and countless cousins. Alejandro touched all our lives in his own way. He will certainly be missed and never forgotten.

Viewing and visitation for Alejandro Jesus “A.J.” Basilio will be held from 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Sunday, October 17, 2021, with a rosary at 6:00p.m. at Calvillo Funeral Home Chapel. Funeral Mass will begin 10:00 a.m., Monday, October 18, 2021, at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church with Father Martin Pina officiating. Burial will follow in the City of Lubbock Cemetery under the direction of Calvillo Funeral Home.

Sin embargo, más que nada a Alejandro le encantaba pasar tiempo con su familia, siempre recordarán cómo "A.J." siempre estaba sonriendo, riendo y haciendo el ridículo. Era un espíritu libre y disfrutaba de todo lo que la vida tenía para ofrecer.

El 9 de octubre, Alejandro fue separado de su familia demasiado pronto para nuestros estándares. Le sobreviven sus padres Roberto y Maria Basilio de Lubbock; los hermanos Juan Salazar, José Basilio, Marcos Salazar, José De Jesús Basilio, Lorenzo Ybarra y Miguel Basilio todos de Lubbock; sus hermanas, María Salazar, Esmeralda Basilio y Liliana Basilio todas de Lubbock; su perro “Bruno”, así como muchos tíos, tías, sobrinas, suegros e innumerables primos. Alejandro tocó todas nuestras vidas a su manera. Ciertamente lo extrañaremos y nunca lo olvidaremos.
