I am so sorry for his loss and my condolences to all the Olivarez Family. May he have eternal rest.
I cherish many of my memories as childhood friends with Amado and all his family. We used to play at Barrio South 19 1/2 St., in McAllen, Tx along with his neighborhood friend Ric Tamez who was next door neighbors with the Olivarez Family. I found out through Ric of the passing of our beloved friend Amado. We cherished many childhood memories with Amado by playing basketball at the court on Oakland and South 19 1/2 St. Also other fond memories by fishing and swimming at the South 18th St. Canal in McAllen. May God give peace to all the family. Rest In Peace my good friend.

To the Olivarez Family,
Amado was like no other. He was genuine, sincere, and fearless. He always did what was right and never compromised his integrity. He was a father, a teacher, and a friend to so many. He will forever have a place in my heart.
May there be peace in your hearts. Lots of love to each and every one of you.
