Veteran Tomas T. Alejo Jr.
Monterey County
Two-part Mission: Wednesday Oct 14 and Monday Oct 19, 2020
PGR has been requested to escort the remains of Army Veteran Tomas T. Alejo, father of Monterey County Supervisor Luis Alejo, as he returns to his hometown of Watsonville and laid to rest there; and we will be honored to do so.
As lifelong devoted pastor, educator, activist and community leader, Tomas T. Alejo, 74, passed away on October 9 in Phoenix, Arizona after a 10-year battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children, wife and other family members.
Tomas left a legacy of fighting for social and political change in Watsonville and Phoenix, Arizona. He was born on March 16, 1946 in the Southern Texas border region of Weslaco to a humble migrant farmworker family. They migrated from South Texas to California in the 1950s where they worked in the Salinas, Santa Clara, Central and Pajaro Valleys picking crops and settled in Watsonville in 1965.
Tomas attended Gonzalez High School and graduated from Gilroy High School in 1965. From 1966-1968, he proudly served our nation in the United States Army during the Vietnam War.
