Hector Varela Obituary

The Lord has called upon our loving brother, husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was a man with a big heart, full of joy and life and we will especially miss his witty sense of humor. He lived his life to the fullest and will be greatly missed by all who knew him, but we find comfort knowing that he is no longer in pain and is with the Lord. He worked for J.C.

As well as by his sister Ramona Elva Granados, and two brothers, Roberto Varela and Jose Aaron Varela and numerous nieces, nephews, and sisters-in-law. The family would like to thank the nurses and staff in the ICU at Del Sol Medical Center. Their caring and professionalism is unsurpassed.
