Rafael Olague Obituary, Accident Death, Cadena’s CDL School Mourns the Passing of Student
LAREDO, TX — It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that the Cadena’s CDL School family announces the passing of one of our own, Rafael Adalberto Olague. Rafael was more than just a student; he was a cherished member of our community, and his absence leaves a void that will be deeply felt by instructors and peers alike.
On the night of September 5, 2026, a tragic accident occurred on Bob Bullock Loop that claimed Rafael’s life. According to local authorities, the incident took place at approximately 11:55 p.m. Reports indicate that a motorcyclist struck a concrete barrier and was thrown into the roadway, where they were subsequently struck by a GMC Yukon. Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, 47-year-old Rafael Olague could not be saved.
At Cadena’s CDL School, we pride ourselves on being a family. We support our students through their journeys toward new careers and brighter futures, and when one of our own falls, we all feel the loss. Rafael brought spirit and dedication to our classrooms, and he will always be remembered as part of our CDL family.
We extend our deepest, most heartfelt condolences to the Olague family, his friends, and all those who were touched by his life during this unimaginably difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they navigate this tragedy.
May he rest in peace.
