He was married to Anita Coppage and they had one son, Jerry Lee Alvarado, Jr. He then married Elsa Vicencio and they had three children, Jeremy, Erika and Eileen. They moved to San Marcos where he worked at Tangram for several years and at Browns School before moving to Winters. Jerry worked at various jobs including construction with his uncles and cousins.

He was proud of his grandchildren and loved to wrestle with them. He was a much loved father, grandfather, uncle and brother and will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
