Jason Alvarado

Jason Anthony Alvarado, 44, passed away November 3, 2025, in Atlanta GA. He was born on September 3, 1981in El Paso, Texas to Cindy and Tony Alvarado.

He is survived by his beloved and adoring wife, Eliana Salas; his loving mother Cindy Alvarado-Yeary and stepfather Hunter Yeary; his caring father Tony Alvarado and stepmother Brenda Alvarado; his siblings Steven Alvarado and Alyssa Alvarado Smith, and brother-in-law Michael Smith; his maternal grandmother, Dr Jane Christian; and Eliana's parents Daniel and Nora Sylvia Salas.

Over his career, Jason served in many impactful roles. He was a Non-Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Navy Reserves from 2003-2007 and a Non-Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Navy from 1999-2003. During his time with the Navy, Jason served as an aviation electronics technician for a combined eight years, including deployments in support of combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

After the Navy, Jason attended the University of Florida, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance, with honors, in 2009. Jason joined Deloitte thereafter, where he delivered financial services in the critical industries of energy, defense, and financial services. Jason worked professionally around the globe, including South and Southeast Asia, Eastern and Western Europe (including Ukraine), Central and Southern Africa, and Latin America. He spoke basic to intermediate Spanish, Russian, and Japanese. He also led Deloitte's Financial Modeling Center of Excellence and became a certified Financial Modeling and Valuation Analyst (FMVA).

After Deloitte, Jason founded and was the Managing Partner of Parabellum Strategic Group LLC (PSG). Jason continued to serve public and private clients in the energy sector while at PSG.

Jason was a gentle giant with the biggest heart. He had a brilliant mind and was fearless, driven and determined. He was an avid reader, especially of history, from the earliest origins to the present. Jason and Eliana enjoyed the freedom and joy of traveling, especially to any place with a beautiful view and water, building a travel memory map of magnets from everywhere they had been.

They loved looking for antiques together and meticulously curating and placing every item in their beautiful home. He loved both their present furry family, Sofie, Annie and Teddy, and those who are now with him on the other side of the rainbow bridge, Richie, Gracie, and Sophia.

Jason had an incredible passion for life and loved unconditionally. His passion was incredibly contagious and evident in the vast number of family, friends, and colleagues who respected and adored him. We ask that you remember Jason not for how soon his life ended, but for the way it was lived, and for the profound impact he had on the lives of everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. And, of course, for his infectious laugh and amazing bear hugs.

A family hosted celebration of Life service for Jason Alvarado will be held on Thursday, at 4:00 PM at Zoo Atlanta Zebra Room.

The flag presentation will begin promptly at 4:00 PM followed by the services.
