German "The Jokester" Saldivar, beloved son of Puebla City, Puebla, Mexico, bid farewell to this world on January 15, 2025. He was born on October 12, 1975, much to the dismay of his sleep-deprived parents.

Known for his questionable sense of humor and his love for engineering (and engineering jokes), German spent his days crunching numbers and dodging office memos. He could often be found muttering about the virtues of concrete and arguing with his computer screen.

In his free time, German enjoyed sports—watching them, not playing them—and doting on his nephews (who he claimed were the only ones who truly appreciated his humor). His dedication to his hobbies was surpassed only by his dedication to avoiding household chores.

In lieu of flowers, please send a joke or a pun in German's honor. He always said that laughter was the best medicine, but we suspect he mostly said it so he could get away with bad jokes.

A celebration of German’s life will be held on Jan 17th at 3pm, at the local church in Puebla City. All who wish to honor his memory are welcome to attend.

Though he is no longer with us, German’s legacy of love, laughter, and compassion will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. Rest in peace, Uncle German. You will be missed dearly, but never forgotten.

Desde que mi tío ya no está cerca, siento un vacío inmenso en mi corazón. Cada rincón de la casa parece más silencioso sin su risa contagiante, sin sus bromas que siempre conseguían sacarme una sonrisa, incluso en los días más oscuros. Extraño profundamente sus consejos, tan sabios y llenos de amor. Era una persona con una energía única que iluminaba cualquier habitación en la que estuviera. Cada vez que me encuentro en momentos de dificultad, desearía poder escuchar su voz, sentir su abrazo cálido y saber que todo estará bien, porque él siempre sabía qué decir y cómo calmar mis miedos. La vida sin él se siente incompleta, y aunque el tiempo pase, su recuerdo se mantiene fresco en mi mente y mi corazón. Lo extraño más de lo que las palabras pueden expresar, y aunque trato de ser fuerte, no puedo evitar desear que estuviera aquí para compartir más momentos, risas y recuerdos que seguirán quedando en mi alma para siempre. Ojalá pudiera volver a tener una de esas charlas que siempre me dejaban pensando, o ver su sonrisa y sentir esa paz que me transmitía. Te extraño, tío, más de lo que te imaginas.
