Alex Tabag

Alex Tabag passed away on December 26, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of courage, love, and adventure. A proud veteran of the United States Army, Alex served honorably during the Vietnam War and was awarded two Purple Hearts for wounds received in combat-a lasting testament to his bravery, sacrifice, and devotion to his country.

Alex was a devoted husband to Cyndy Hill for 51 years, sharing a lifetime of love, partnership, and countless memories. Together, they embraced life fully, traveling to Europe and Asia and enjoying cruising, creating cherished moments along the way.

Following his military service, Alex dedicated 25 years to the Social Security Administration, earning the respect of colleagues for his integrity, commitment, and dedication to serving others.

He was the proud parent of one beloved child, Paul Alexander, who brought him immense joy and stood as his most cherished accomplishment.

Alex had a deep appreciation for life's simple pleasures. He loved fishing, camping, barbecuing, golfing, listening to music of all kinds, and cheering on his favorite teams-the LA Dodgers and the LA Rams. He also cherished his time at Hume Lake, his ""home away from home."" Above all, he treasured time spent with his beloved Tabag Tribe, where laughter, food, and togetherness were always abundant.

Alex is survived by his wife, Cyndy; son, Paul Alexander; siblings, Jo (Marie), Sergio, Bobby (Jody), Peanuts (Marcos Herrera), and Loretta; as well as his in-laws, Janette and Darcy Hill; and numerous nieces and nephews who carry forward his love and legacy.

He will be remembered as a devoted family man, loyal friend, and true American hero.

Private services will be held at the Central Coast Veterans Cemetery.
