Alfredo Corona Eulogy and Rosary

Alfredo “Freddy” Corona Jr., a lifelong resident of Salinas, California, and a beloved husband and father, passed away on January 15, 2026, in Salinas at the age of 62, after a long and courageous battle with kidney cancer.

Born on October 28, 1963, to Alfredo Corona Sr. and Remedios Corona, Freddy lived a life defined by quiet strength, perseverance, and unwavering dedication. From an early age he embraced hard work not as a burden but as a calling, an ethic that shaped both his career and his character.

While still in high school, Freddy began working as a student custodian at El Sausal Junior High School, planting the first seeds of a career in facilities and operations that would span decades. After graduating, he spent several years working in the packing sheds before bringing his mechanical talents to Gills Garage. His patience, precision, and problem solving skills earned him the affectionate nickname “Mr. Fixit” a reflection of his ability to tackle any challenge with calm determination.

Freddy later returned to the Salinas Union High School District as a substitute custodian. His dependability and leadership quickly stood out, leading to a full-time position at Salinas High School, where he rose to become lead custodian. His journey continued at Harden Middle School, where he played an instrumental role in opening the newly built campus, serving as plant foreman and helping establish its daily rhythms with care and commitment.

His professional journey culminated in a distinguished 25-year tenure at California State University Monterey Bay, where he served as manager of facilities and operations. Overseeing multiple departments, Freddy became known for his steady leadership, deep institutional knowledge, and unshakable calm. At CSUMB, he was affectionately known as “Piece of Cake Freddy” because no matter the size or complexity of the task before him, his response was always the same: “it's a piece of cake.” That simple phrase came to embody his confidence, competence, and reassuring presence and it perfectly captured how he approached both work and life.

Though Freddy often appeared serious at first, those who truly knew him discovered his sharp wit and sly humor. Beneath his reserved demeanor was a warm and generous spirit. He had a rare ability to make others feel seen and valued, always ready to lend a hand or offer guidance without seeking recognition.

Outside of work, Freddy found joy in life’s simple pleasures. A devoted Raider fan, he began each morning watching the NFL Channel. He enjoyed classic westerns and was endlessly fascinated by shows about cryptids like Bigfoot and Sasquatch, as well as programs exploring ancient mysteries that sparked his curiosity.

Freddy’s life was grounded in deep love for his family. He is survived by his high school sweet heart and devoted wife of 42 years Margaret; daughters Elizabeth (Christian) and Veronica; his beloved dog Ares; his mother Remedios; brother Alberto (Lourdes); and sisters Virginia (Robert) and Leticia (Guadalupe). He was preceded in death by his father Alfredo Corona Sr., sister Anita Corona, and cherished dog Athena.

A Funeral Service will be held on February 13,  at 9:30 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church, 22 Stone Street, in Salinas.

Freddy’s legacy lives on in every hallway he walked with purpose, every challenge he met with quiet confidence, and every life touched by his kindness. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved him and may we all carry forward his steady reassurance that, with patience and heart, even the hardest tasks can be a piece of cake.

Alfredo "Freddy" Corona Jr, residente de toda la vida en Salinas, California, y querido esposo y padre, falleció el 15 de enero de 2026 en Salinas a la edad de 62 años, tras una larga y valiente batalla contra el cáncer de riñón.
Nacido el 28 de octubre de 1963, hijo de Alfredo Corona Sr. y Remedios Corona, Freddy vivió una vida caracterizada por una fuerza tranquila, perseverancia y una dedicación inquebrantable. Desde muy temprana edad, aceptó el trabajo duro, no como una carga, sino como un llamado, una ética que moldeó tanto su carrera como su carácter.
Mientras aún estaba en la preparatoria, Freddy comenzó a trabajar como conserje estudiantil en la escuela secundaria El Sausal, sembrando las primeras semillas de una carrera en instalaciones y operaciones que se extendería durante décadas. Después de graduarse, pasó varios años trabajando en empacadoras antes de llevar su talento mecánico a Gills Garage. Por su paciencia, precisión y capacidad para resolver problemas le apodaron con afecto "Mr. Fixit", que en inglés significa "el que lo arregla todo", reflejo de su habilidad para afrontar cualquier reto con calma y determinación.
Más tarde, Freddy regresó al Distrito Escolar Unido de Preparatorias de Salinas como conserje suplente. Su fiabilidad y liderazgo pronto llamaron la atención, lo que lo llevó a un puesto de tiempo completo en la Preparatoria de Salinas, donde subió hasta convertirse en conserje encargado. Su trayectoria continuó en la Escuela Secundaria Harden, donde desempeñó un papel fundamental en la apertura del nuevamente construido plantel escolar, trabajando como encargado de planta ayudando a establecer los ritmos cotidianos con cuidado y compromiso.
Su trayectoria profesional culminó con una distinguida carrera de 25 años en la Universidad Estatal de California en la Bahía de Monterey (CSUMB), donde ocupó el cargo de director de instalaciones y operaciones. A cargo de la supervisión de departamentos múltiples, Freddy se dio a conocer por su liderazgo estable, su profundo conocimiento institucional y su calma inquebrantable. En CSUMB, se le conocía cariñosamente como "Piece of Cake Freddy", porque sin importar el tamaño o lo complejo de la tarea que tuviera ante él, su respuesta era siempre la misma: "es pan comido". Esa sencilla frase llegó a encarnar su confianza, su competencia y su presencia tranquilizadora, y captaba a la perfección su forma de abordar tanto el trabajo como la vida.
Aunque Freddy solía parecer serio al principio, quienes realmente lo conocían descubrían su agudo ingenio y su humor astuto. Bajo su actitud reservada había un espíritu cálido y generoso. Tenia un don poco común para hacer que los demás se sintieran vistos y valorados, siempre dispuesto a echar una mano u ofrecer guía sin buscar reconocimiento.
Fuera del trabajo, Freddy disfrutaba de los placeres sencillos de la vida. Era un seguidor devoto de los Raiders y comenzaba cada mañana viendo el canal de la NFL (Liga Nacional de Fútbol Americano). Le gustaban las películas clásicas del oeste y le fascinaban los programas sobre criaturas misteriosas como Bigfoot y Sasquatch, así como los programas que exploraban misterios antiguos que despertaban su curiosidad.
La vida de Freddy se fundaba en su amor profundo por su familia. Le sobreviven su amor de la preparatoria y devota esposa de 42 años, Margaret; hijas Elizabeth (Christian) y Verónica; querido perro Ares; madre Remedios; hermano Alberto (Lourdes); hermanas Virginia (Robert) y Leticia (Guadalupe). Le precedieron en la muerte su padre, Alfredo Corona Sr., hermana Anita Corona y querida perra Athena.
El servicio fúnebre se llevará a cabo el 13 de febrero a las 9:30 de la mañana en la iglesia Sagrado Corazón, ubicada en el 22 Stone Street, en Salinas.
El legado de Freddy aun vive en cada pasillo por el que caminó con propósito, cada reto que afrontó con confianza tranquila y cada vida que con su amabilidad tocó. Que su recuerdo aliente a quienes lo conocieron y lo quisieron, y que todos sigamos fomentando su promesa segura de que, con paciencia y con el corazón, aun las tareas más difíciles pueden ser dicho y hecho.
El legado de Freddy aun vive en cada pasillo por el que caminó con propósito, cada reto que afrontó con confianza tranquila y cada vida que tocó con su amabilidad. Que su recuerdo aliente a quienes lo conocieron y lo quisieron, y que todos sigamos adelante con su firme convicción de que, con paciencia y corazón, aun las tareas más difíciles se presentan sencillas.
