Alex Contreras Obituary

Visit the East Lawn South Sacramento Andrews & Greilich Mortuary website to view the full obituary.

Alex Arthur Contreras, 29, was born in Sacramento, CA on January 26, 1995. He gained his wings on December 16, 2024, and was greeted in Heaven by his Papa Fred, cousin Gregory, and numerous other family members.

He is survived by his loving parents Arthur and Angelica Contreras, his siblings Anthony (Lea) and Anicia Contreras, his nephew Amiliano, and niece Leticia.

Alex was a loving, respectful, genuine person, with a big heart and contagious laugh. He had a unique,radiant energy that cannot be replaced. When he wasn’t busy cheering for the Kings or 49ers, he was singing karaoke or spending time with his family.

Alex was the life of the party, and his unexpected passing has left a hole in our hearts. He will be greatly missed.
