Selerino Lopez Nevarez ("Sal") passed away peacefully In Houston, Texas on January 6, 2023, after a 33 year struggle with Parkinsons.

Sal was born in 1949 in Roswell, New Mexico to parents of Mexican descent, Anastacio Nevarez and Gaviela Nevarez. He graduated from Dexter High School and went on to obtain a Master Plumbing License in 1983 from The State of Texas. Subsequently, he became self-employed and CEO of Eastside Plumbing.

Sals children from his marriage to Ester Nevarez, Jon, and Daniel, brought him much joy. With his family he enjoyed raising his two sons, reading, drawing, oil painting, creating art, listening to music, and especially loved dancing. He found much pleasure in helping others, and in sharing his knowledge of life. Especially memorable are endless efforts to afford his brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews back in Roswell the opportunity to create better lives for themselves, by continuously motivating them to push for better and giving them the opportunity to change their branch of the family tree.

Sal also treasured his grandkids in his later years. He attended every practice and every game without fail. For his grandkids Brianna, Krystal, Jon Louis, Ivan and Mia there wasnt an event he would miss. He would do anything for them. ( Remember: give it 100%)

Sals work ethics and scholarship focused on educating and giving back to those in need. His teachings may have not been to the vast but to the many it made a world of difference. Having left an impression on so many people, some who still provide for their family as master plumbers today and some who just stayed in touch for his sincere heart and some for his dedication to family and friendship.

In late 1990, Sal was diagnosed with Parkinsons. He was a very willed man who was not going to lay down and allow this crippling disease to win that easily. After being diagnosed with Parkinsons he was forced to stop working. That fueled the push to begin enjoying the rest of his life. This led to him fighting the fight of his life. Sal started working out and running to stay active in order to give Parkinsons a run for its money. Attending his boys and grandkids events were top on his list of things to do. He went on to assist his sons to also become business owners in the plumbing industry. It didnt stop there either; his passion was so strong his two grandsons followed suit to become plumbers as well.

Five Sal is survived by his sons, Daniel Nevarez and Jon Nevarez, Five Grandchildren, Brianna Nevarez, Krystal Robertson-Harris, Jon Louis Nevarez, Ivan Nevarez and Mia Nevarez. Seven Great grandchildren, Jordan Cuellar, Jaylen Robertson-Harris, Ava Nevarez, Jax Robertson-Harris, Greyson Legaspi, Santiago Nevarez, Layla Nevarez.

His legacy will carry on forever reminding us that we all can accomplish what we set our minds to. We control our future by controlling our actions and our attitudes. There are no words that can express how grateful and blessed we are to our family and friends who were there for us during the time of his passing.
