The youngest child of Eugene and Doreen Salas of Castro Valley, he graduated from Castro Valley High School in 1971.

He spent nearly 20 years in the Hawaiian islands, his true spiritual home.
He is survived by his son Matthew, mother Doreen, granddaughter Madison, sister Sandra, brother Jene, and scores of friends.
