Alfredo Marzan Serrano passed away on February 13, 2025, at the age of 93. He was born on January 31, 1932, in Naguilian, La Union, Philippines, to Rufino and Sofia Serrano.

As a child, Alfredo lived through the hardships of World War II, witnessing the turmoil of the Battle of Manila firsthand—an experience that shaped his resilience and strength.

He pursued his studies in forestry at the University of the Philippines at Los Baños, aspiring to become a ranger. However, life had other plans. After working in the Philippines for several years, he eventually moved to the United States, where he built a new life. In 1981, he married the love of his life, Remedios Oriel, and together they settled in Silicon Valley. Alfredo worked as a Semiconductor Machine Operator for Raytheon, dedicating himself to his career until his retirement in 1997. In time, he and Remedios welcomed their beloved son, Mark, into their lives.

Alfredo was a man of deep generosity and unwavering selflessness. Hardworking and resourceful, he always sought ways to earn extra money—not for himself, but to help others. His greatest joy came from giving, constantly thinking of ways to enrich the lives of those around him.

Beyond his work and family, Alfredo had a passion for plants. A gifted gardener, he cultivated a variety of flowers, fruits, and vegetables, often sharing his harvest as thoughtful gifts to those he cared about. He had a special love for orchids, tending to them with patience and devotion.

Alfredo is survived by his loving wife, his son, his cherished grandchildren and his dear sister. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering love for his family will always be remembered.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, February 20, 2025 at 11am at Spangler Mortuary in Mountain View, California.
