Alex Cuellar Obituary
Our brother Alex passed at Lovelace Hospital Palliative Unit in Albuquerque, New Mexico after struggling five months with cardiovascular events and ensuing complications. God's will called him home with love and compassion from this side of his life, and from our time with him.
Alex's Catholic education began at St. Ann's Parochial School where he enjoyed serving Mass with parish Priests and classmates. He graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1971.
SAC Radio/TV Broadcasting Department prepared Alex for thirty five years of awarded professional growth and success; 20 years in San Antonio, TX; and 15 in Albuquerque. He served as State Public Information Officer during Bill Richardson's term. Alex completed service as residential appraiser for Sandoval County Assessor's Office upon retiring December 31, 2018.
Preceding Alex in God's heaven were his parents, Alex C. Cuellar sr. and Pauline G. Cuellar; sisters: Patricia, Polly, Carolyn; brothers Paul and Paul Gentile.
Alex's sisters Catherine Danforth "Ochenta" and Yolanda Gentile "Viejita" remain to cherish the family's lasting memories.

So very sorry to learn of Alex's passing . I lost touch with him and was unaware of his passing . Last time I spoke with him was when he had his first heart attack . After that I did not hear from him . I will always treasure the memories we had together.

I am deeply saddened to hear about Alex. The good times we shared at St. Ann's and his voice on the radio will always be in my memory.

I wanted to extend my sincerest condolences to Alex's family on his passing. He was one of my best friends from St. Ann's, Central Catholic, and beyond. We shared so many wonderful times together. Alex always had a way of making me laugh but he had a lot of wisdom too. Thanks Alex for all the great memories. I will miss you. Rest in peace my dear friend.
