Danilo "Danny" Caguioa Gervacio

Danilo “Danny” Caguioa Gervacio

Salinas – Danilo “Danny” Caguioa Gervacio passed away in his home surrounded by his devoted wife and daughters on October 9, 2026 at the age of 68.

Born in the Philippines on April 26, 1958, Danny and his family eventually made their way to the U.S. in 1970 and began a life filled with family, friendship, and countless memories. He attended Alisal high school and enlisted in the Navy shortly after graduation. Upon returning home to Salinas, he eventually became a correctional officer with CTF Soledad in 1982. He retired in 2018 with 36 years of state service.

Throughout his life, Danny carried a steady, calm, and practical approach that helped him balance the demands of a high-risk career with the many roles he cherished as a husband, father, son, uncle, cousin, and friend. His daughters and nieces fondly remember him coming home after long stretches of overtime shifts, only to change clothes, grab the camcorder, and eagerly film the dance routines they had spent days practicing. He was also the ultimate cheer dad, proudly attending every cheerleading event, cheering from the sidelines, and supporting his girls every step of the way. No matter how long his workdays were, he always made time for the moments that mattered most.

Danny enjoyed working in his garden, telling stories, and singing with friends. He loved to dance. There was a beat in his heart that showed up in his feet, and those that had the pleasure seeing him groove knew he was enjoying his best life on the dance floor. He also never met a karaoke mic he didn’t like and could serenade a crowd with some of his favorite songs by The Eagles, Frank Sinatra, Lettermen, and Earth, Wind & Fire.

Danny had a wonderful sense of humor and an infectious laugh. His warm personality, kind heart, generous nature, and easygoing spirit made him a joy to be around. He made friends wherever he went and had a natural gift for making everyone feel welcome.

Danny will be deeply missed and leaves to cherish his memories, his wife of 44 years Gloria; his daughters Janeen Dodson (David) of Sacramento, Krystle Jackson (Ryan) of Oakland, Stephanie Gervacio of Oakland, Nicole Gervacio (Jack) of Oakland, and Michelle Gervacio-Barajas (Fabian) of Salinas; his grandchildren Jillian Maia, Christopher Danilo, Everett Danilo, Ellesandra June; and many beloved nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his father Leon, mother Arcadia, sister Linda, and brother Alan.

Words cannot begin to describe the heartbreak of losing you, Dada. But we find some comfort in knowing that you will continue to watch over us as our guardian angel. We will miss you terribly, we are grateful for the life you gave us, and we know your memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved you.

A Funeral Mass will be held on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 22 Stone Street, Salinas, CA 93901. A lunch reception will follow the service. Additional details will be shared as they become available.

Danny’s final resting place will be at the California Central Coast Veterans Cemetery in Seaside.

Soon Hong Olsen

Soon Hong Olsen passed away peacefully on October 10, 2026, at the age of 93, in Salinas, CA. She was born on March 25, 1933, in South Korea, to Han Yee (Lee) and Yung Duk Pai. She was one of eight siblings and the youngest girl.

Soon Hong Bae arrived in the US in June 1962, planning a temporary stay with relatives. Several months later, she was invited to host the Korean exhibit at an international festival in Los Angeles. There she met Edward Allan Olsen, then a photographer and art school student, who took her picture. As she would say, “The rest is history.” Soon and Allan married in 1965 and had two children. Always an ambassador for Korean culture, Soon was a great influence on Allan’s future academic pursuits; he went on to become an expert in Asian studies and US foreign policy.

Life with Soon was characterized by both a love of home and a sense of adventure. She and Allan took their young daughter to Tokyo for a year during his graduate studies. They traveled throughout the world, including to Norway, where they met some of Allan’s relatives, and back to Korea. Throughout her life, she kept in touch with family in Korea, first by blue airmail letters, and most recently by email, which she loved.

Soon was known for her lifelong love of nature. She was often outdoors, from the mountains of Korea to the hills of Monterey County at the Olsens’ eventual home in Toro Park, where they moved in 1980 when Allan joined the faculty at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey. In a poem found among her papers, she described the “haunting sound of mourning dove / at early dawn of Toro Park.”

An English major at college in Korea, Soon was gifted at languages and an avid reader, especially of thrillers. A homemaker, she occasionally taught Korean later in life. She was a gardener, known for her green thumb with both houseplants and fruit trees. Most of all, she had a magical ability to make friends wherever she went. She always took a daily walk on the Fort Ord trails, where she set a quick pace but never failed to stop to enjoy a conversation with friends and pet their dogs.

Soon’s independence, lively spirit, and delight in life spread much joy to others, and she continues to be an inspiration to those who knew and loved her. Her survivors include her daughter, Erica Soon Olsen (Andrew Goodwin); son, Karl Yung Olsen (Lauren Farrar); many relatives in the US and Korea; and too many friends to count. A celebration of life will be planned in 2027. In the meantime, her family invites you to honor her memory by taking a walk, reading a good book, or writing a letter or an email to someone you love.

Jared Xavier Montalvo

In Loving Memory of

JARED XAVIER MONTALVO

August 8, 2026 – October 8, 2026

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin, partner, and friend, Jared, who left us far too soon on October 8, 2026.

Jared was a bright light in the lives of everyone who knew him. He was the cherished son of his loving parents, Rick Montalvo and Sandy De La Cruz, who held him in their hearts from his very first breath and will carry his memory with eternal love. He was a pillar of friendship and family as a loving younger brother to Jacob and a guiding, devoted older brother to Jace.

He shared a special, enduring bond with his living grandparents, who treasured him deeply: his grandfather, Ricardo Sr., on his dad’s side, and his grandmother, Alicia, on his mom’s side.

Jared brought warmth, laughter, and togetherness wherever he went. He was a proud and supportive first cousin to Tiana, Xiomara, James, Adam, Robert, and Xenia, as well as a fond uncle figure and cousin to Xiomara’s son, Jovani, and Tiana’s daughter, Zyah, and newborn son, Nakoa, who he never got a chance to meet in person but was proud to have another addition in the family. His family ties extended far and wide, touching the lives of many dearly loved cousins throughout Washington, Porterville, and Salinas.

In life, Jared was blessed to find his soulmate, Aimee, with whom he shared a deep, meaningful connection and a beautiful life journey. Together with his constant companion and loyal puppy, Bailey, they created moments of comfort, joy, and unconditional love.

His genuine nature and welcoming spirit earned him a vast circle of lifelong friends spanning Salinas, San Diego, and the Bay Area. Whether sharing a laugh, offering a helping hand, or simply being present, Jared made everyone around him feel seen, valued, and loved.

We will never forget his humor, his laughter, his confident voice, his joy in singing, his passion to create delicious meals, his love for his family, his infectious smile, his amazing hair, his warmth, his big hugs, and his love of life.

Though his departure leaves an ache that words cannot fully express, his kindness, infectious laugh, and gentle heart will remain etched in the memories of all who were fortunate enough to know him.

He is survived by his parents, Rick and Sandy; his brothers, Jacob and Jace; his grandparents, Ricardo Sr. and Alicia; his soulmate, Aimee; his dog, Bailey; his cousins, nieces/nephews, extended family, and countless dear friends across California, Washington, and beyond.

Manuel Arias Parada

Nuestro querido Manuelito nació en Ayotlán Jalisco el 20 de Septiembre de 1945. Sus padres Manuel Arias y Fidela Parada crearon a Manuelito y a su hermano Roberto y a sus hermanas María, Fidela, Amparo y Evangelina con una fuerte fe católica que sería su más grande guía moral en la vida y que servirá como la brújula que dirigirá su vida. Su padre Manuel era un agricultor nacido a principios del siglo pasado que trabajaba arduamente en sus labores para proveer a su familia y su mama era la ama de casa y administradora. De sus padres aprendió una gran ética al trabajo y sentir de deber a la familia. Estudio en el colegio del sagrado corazón de Ayotlán.

Su juventud fue durante la época de oro de la música y el cine en México. Contaba a sus hijos y amigos con añoranza de esos tiempos. Contaba de sus tiempos de aprendiz de mecánico con el maestro de Irapuato y la música de juventud de esos tiempos del rock and roll de los 60; Enrique Guzman, Los Teen Tops, Los Hermanos Carrion y muchos más. Siempre tuvo una gran pasión por la música. En 1971 conoció a nuestra madre Fidela Sánchez en la plaza del pueblo de Ayotlán y le propuso matrimonio después de haber trabajado un tiempo en estados unidos y haber juntado un dinerito como él decía.

Manuelito fue un gran esposo y padre. Trabajo en la Mann Packing de Salinas en mantenimiento por aproximadamente 50 anos. Siempre sintió una responsabilidad inquebrantable para proveer para su esposa y sus hijos. Educaron a sus hijos Alejandro, Ricardo y Juan Manuel y los tres se recibieron de la universidad. Sin embargo, para él lo más importante era transmitir su fe católica a sus hijos y descendientes. El hogar que formo con Fidelita era un hogar, aunque con desafíos, estaba lleno de fe católica, amor, optimismo, paciencia, música y comida. Algunos de nuestros recuerdos más hermosos eran de fechas especiales cuando se preparaba pozole, menudo, tacos y otras ricas comidas mexicanas,

Fue inseparable con Fide y juntos lucharon grandes batallas, pero siempre unidos en una fe y amor. Los nietos Issandro, Lily, Mikel, Giuliana y Matteo fueron una bendición para él y eran su adoración. Sus nueras Elba, Daisy y Elvira eran queridas y apreciadas por él. Siempre fue muy amigable y hasta el fin convivio con sus grandes amigos Rudy, Jorge y Nicho.

Descansa en paz Manuelito y que la música del cielo ahora te alegre. Con todo el amor del mundo y quien te recordara para siempre; tu familia.
