Le sobreviven su amada esposa, Yesenia Soto Vargas; sus hijos, Yaritza Peña Soto, Amy Peña Soto, Jesha Maria Peña Soto, Alejandra Peña Soto, Rogelio Sorrosa Soto y Kaylee Sorrosa Soto; y su hermana, Jessica Peña Sánchez.

También le sobreviven sus cuñadas, Aide Vargas y Magali Soto; sus cuñados, Leonel Vargas, Juan Soto Vargas y Luis Alberto Soto Vargas; su sobrino, Aaron Anica Peña; su sobrina, Frida Anica Peña; sus primas, Liz Reyes Sarrosa y Deniss Vargas; además de otros familiares y seres queridos.

Alejandro fue un hombre trabajador que dedicó gran parte de su vida al oficio de la albañilería. A través de su trabajo, demostró el esfuerzo, la dedicación y la perseverancia que formaban parte de su manera de vivir. Sin embargo, por encima de cualquier trabajo o responsabilidad, lo más importante para Alejandro siempre fue su familia.

Su esposa y sus hijos eran el centro de su mundo y su mayor motivo de alegría. Alejandro encontraba felicidad en las cosas sencillas de la vida: estar en casa con los suyos, compartir tiempo con sus hijos y disfrutar de los momentos que pasaban juntos. Para él, no había nada más valioso que estar rodeado de las personas que amaba.

El amor que Alejandro sentía por su familia se reflejaba en la importancia que les daba en su vida. Los recuerdos de los momentos compartidos, las conversaciones, las sonrisas y las experiencias vividas juntos serán tesoros que su familia llevará siempre en el corazón.

Su partida a tan temprana edad deja un vacío inmenso en la vida de quienes lo conocieron y amaron. Aunque su familia hubiera deseado compartir muchos años más a su lado, el amor que Alejandro les brindó y los recuerdos que construyeron juntos permanecerán para siempre.

Alejandro será recordado con profundo amor por Yesenia, sus hijos y toda su familia. Su vida será honrada no solamente con lágrimas por su ausencia, sino también con gratitud por los años compartidos y por el amor que deja como legado.

Que descanse en paz y que su recuerdo viva eternamente en los corazones de quienes lo amaron.

Alejandro was born on January 31, 1982, in Mexico, to Magda Sánchez Sorrosa and the late Javier Peña Ayala.

He is survived by his loving wife, Yesenia Soto Vargas; his children, Yaritza Peña Soto, Amy Peña Soto, Jesha Maria Peña Soto, Alejandra Peña Soto, Rogelio Sorrosa Soto, and Kaylee Sorrosa Soto; and his sister, Jessica Peña Sánchez.

He is also survived by his sisters-in-law, Aide Vargas and Magali Soto; his brothers-in-law, Leonel Vargas, Juan Soto Vargas, and Luis Alberto Soto Vargas; his nephew, Aaron Anica Peña; his niece, Frida Anica Peña; his cousins, Liz Reyes Sarrosa and Deniss Vargas; along with many other family members and loved ones.

Alejandro was a hardworking man who dedicated much of his life to masonry. Through his work, he demonstrated the determination, dedication, and perseverance that were such important parts of his life. Yet no matter how much responsibility he carried, his greatest priority was always his family.

His wife and children were the center of his world and the source of his greatest happiness. Alejandro found joy in life's simplest and most meaningful moments-being at home with his family, spending time with his children, and enjoying the everyday experiences that brought them together. For Alejandro, there was nothing more important than being surrounded by the people he loved.

The love he had for his family was reflected in the place they held in his life. The memories they created together, the conversations they shared, the laughter, and the countless ordinary moments that became extraordinary simply because they were together will remain treasured parts of his family's lives.

Losing Alejandro at just 44 years old is a heartbreaking reminder of how precious and fleeting life can be. His family had hoped for so many more years together, more memories to make, and more milestones to celebrate. While those moments will be deeply missed, the love he shared with his wife and children will continue to live on through them.

Alejandro will be remembered with tremendous love by Yesenia, his children, and his entire family. His life will be honored not only through the sadness of his passing, but also through gratitude for the years they shared, the memories they made, and the love that will forever connect them.

Though his time here was far too short, the love Alejandro leaves behind will remain a lasting part of his family's story.

Wilkinson Funeral Home is entrusted with the arrangements.
