Alfredo “Freddie” Olivas Chavez Jr., 53, of Monahans, Texas, and brother of his favorite sister, Christina Chavez, passed away on September 14, 2025, in El Paso, Texas. He was born on November 6, 1971, in Monahans to Alfredo and Rosalinda Olivas Chavez.

Throughout life, he enjoyed camping, fishing, and the great outdoors; and was a lifelong Cowboys and Yankees fan. He served as a security guard for schools in Midland, Texas and later went off to work in banking as a bank teller. Known for his sharp appearance, he always made sure his hair was styled perfectly, and his smile left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
