Alfonso Cervantes Muñoz
Obituary
Our family is sad to announce the passing of Alfonso "Poncho" Cervantes Muñoz on February 24, 2022 at the age of 75.
He was born October 30, 1946 in Fresno, California to Sara Cervantes and Emilio Muñoz and was the youngest of 7 siblings; brothers Claudio, Emilio, Ruben & Armando and sisters Josephine, Rachel & Lilly.
After the passing of his parents when he was only 4 years old, he moved to Morgan Hill under the care of Ramon and Cruz Yanez where he was lovingly raised alongside brothers Chilo, Victor, Danny & Johnny and sisters Maggie and Lupe.
Alfonso had an easygoing nature, was extremely hard working throughout his life and was always willing to lend a hand to others when needed. He was a devoted father to sons: Sam, Alfonso Jr., James (Katrina) & Sal (Lorna) and a loving grandpa to Daniel, Veronica, Anthony and Claudia.
He was also adored by many extended family members from his first marriage to Tommy Beltran as well as his relationship with long-time partner Janice Ordunez, who preceded him in death in 2006.
He will be deeply missed by friends and family alike.
