Born in San Diego California, attended Marion Catholic High School. Proudly served his country as a US MARINE. He loved his job with the Bureau of Prisons and was an exceptional Correctional Officer.
Our beloved husband, father, and brother, Gustavo Olivas, passed peacefully in his home surrounded by his loved ones on July 31, 2024. He fought a courageous battle against cancer, and our hearts are heavy with grief. We will cherish his memory forever.
Those who had the pleasure of knowing him can attest to his joyful and infectious laughter. He was a prankster who loved to play jokes on his close family and friends. He brought joy and happiness to all who knew him. He was a great friend to all and wouldn't let you down when you needed him. He loved his brothers and sister and loved reminiscing of the good old days and all their crazy shenanigans.
Such a kind and caring man that put up with all my crazy ideas and love for animals. Always dreaming of the future and the travels we would embark on.
A loving Father who adored his children. He was so proud of all their milestones and achievements and would say, " Be the best at whatever you do and never take SH*T from anyone!" He adored his baby girl Chloe and was so proud of how bright and beautiful her mind worked and amazed by her ability to be so talented in everything she did. Loved Marco and was so proud of all his accomplishments and adored Julieta and Marco Abel. He loved all his pets dearly.
He was and will always be a PROUD MARINE!
I will never forget you for as long as I live!
You will be forever in our hearts and memories
We miss you, TAVITO
Rest in Peace until we meet again.
