Alek John Pacheco, 20, of San Marcos, Texas passed on July 19, 2025, from a fatal shooting downtown San Marcos.
Alek was born in San Marcos, raised in Houston, and continued his life back in San Marcos. He was not married. He was just starting to learn responsibilities as a young adult, doing things on his own.
Alek was a young respectable young man with impeccable character. We will miss the laughter he brought into our lives. His smile will forever be branded in our hearts.
Alek leaves behind his loving mother Sandra Gonzales of Houston, father Juan Pacheco Jr. of San Marcos, brother Jose "JP" Pacheco of San Marcos, sister Shelby Gonzales Salazar of Hitchcock, sister Ilene Pacheco of New Braunfels, grandfather Jesus Gonzales of San Angelo and extended family of nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts and cousins.
He was preceded in death by Janie Urrutia.
Alek will be truly and deeply missed but forever be in our hearts.
