Death of Arthur Alvarez

We are saddened to learn of the death of Arthur Alvarez, who worked in security on the Ambassador College campus in Pasadena, California from 1993 until 2004. Art was born in 1932, and he was 81 years old when he died.

In his last years working on campus, he sometimes would wear a small cross pin on his shirt collar—the kind military chaplains wear. He was a paratrooper in the military and veterans would recognize what it stood for. When asked if he was a chaplain, he would say “no,” but if they wanted to talk about God, he was always ready. Art was a devoted Christian who was a joy to be around.

Art’s funeral was held on September 3 in Los Angeles.
