It is with profound sorrow and deep respect that the community mourns the untimely death of Alejandro De Luna Jr., a dedicated U.S. Border Patrol agent, proud military veteran, and loving father, husband, and friend. Known affectionately as “Alex” to those closest to him, he tragically lost his life in a car accident that has left a devastating void in the lives of his loved ones and the community he served so faithfully.
The accident, which occurred earlier this week, is still under investigation by local authorities. While the precise circumstances surrounding the crash are still being determined, the impact of this heartbreaking incident is already being felt far and wide—from fellow law enforcement officers and veterans to the countless family members, neighbors, and friends who knew and loved Alex.
Alejandro De Luna Jr. was more than just a public servant; he was a man of principle, heart, and unwavering commitment. He served his country both as a member of the U.S. military and as a federal agent with the Border Patrol, always holding his responsibilities with honor, humility, and strength. Colleagues describe him as fiercely dedicated to protecting the nation’s borders, while still being the first to offer a helping hand to someone in need. His bravery and service were surpassed only by his devotion to his family and community.
Outside of his uniform, Alex was a loving husband and a devoted father. Friends say he never missed a chance to share how proud he was of his children and how deeply he cherished his family. Whether coaching his kid’s soccer games, barbecuing on weekends, or simply enjoying quiet evenings at home, he found joy in the everyday moments that meant so much.
Those who knew Alex speak of a man whose laughter could fill a room, whose strength was matched only by his kindness, and whose loyalty knew no bounds. His sudden passing has stunned those closest to him, leaving many grappling with the loss of a man who stood as a pillar of love and integrity in their lives.
A memorial is being planned to celebrate Alex’s life and to honor his service. Family members have asked for privacy as they navigate the grief of losing someone so integral to their lives. Tributes have already begun to pour in from fellow officers, military comrades, friends, and strangers alike—people moved by the legacy of a man who gave his all, both in service and in love.
In remembering Alejandro De Luna Jr., we celebrate not just a Border Patrol agent or a military veteran, but a remarkable man who lived with courage, compassion, and an unshakeable sense of purpose. He will be missed beyond words and remembered forever.
Rest in peace, Alex. Your watch has ended, but your light lives on.
