Felix Vale Obituary
Jose Quintana's youngest brothers, Felix and Ivan Vale, were eight and 10 years younger, but he understood them pretty well. The older one, Felix, loved children, wanted marriage and loved nothing more than family. "If it was between spending the day in Hollywood with Jennifer Lopez, or having a family gathering over here, he would definitely pick us," Mr. Quintana said. "He was actually the soul of the family."
The family included four brothers and one sister, plus dozens of cousins and others from New Jersey, Los Angeles, Puerto Rico, or Connecticut.
Felix Vale, 29, lived in East New York with his mother, whom he supported with his job as a manager at Cantor Fitzgerald. "Felix was the type that if he met you five minutes ago and you needed somebody to help you do your move, he was there," Mr. Quintana said.
He helped his brother, Ivan Vale, 27, get a job at eSpeed, part of Cantor Fitzgerald. He did well there, surviving a round of layoffs on Sept. 10. Ivan Vale had been married to his wife, Lucy, for three years. "They didn't have any kids; what they had was a zoo," Mr. Quintana said, listing the couple's pets: six to eight rabbits, four or five lizards, two cats, one dog.
"Ivan was a little off center; he loved these weird things," Mr. Quintana said. "Ivan loved skeletons, he loved swords, and the stuff with the animals. He painted his room black one time. Once he had a lizard, an alligator, I'm not sure what the heck it was, and he divided his room in half. He gave the lizard half, in its cage, and the other half was for him."
"They're Brooklyn kids who never got into trouble," Mr. Quintana said. "They were doing fine. They were doing O.K."

To my childhood buddy,
I always find myself thinking of my childhood, as I see my son growing. I think of all the fun times we had as kids. Every time I see someone DJing, I remember how you use to love practicing new mixes on the turn tables and the awesome music you provided at parties. But most of all, I miss your hard and loud laughter! I will forever keep you in my heart! I hope your partying in heaven. XOXO Melissa

Went, with my family, to visit the 9/11 Memorial. 9/11 is my son's birthday, so we have always held it in our hearts by remembering those whose lives were lost. At the memorial we saw the names of two men side by side that ended in Vale and have read about you and your brother since our return home. We are very sorry for your family's suffering and will keep all in our prayers.

Hello... I live in Bennington, VT. The other day two balloons landed on the porch, in a chair, of a local eatery. The names Felix and Angelo were written on them, as well as 9/11/01 and never forget...
I am just wondering if you know where and when the ballons were sent from??? I truly believe two of Gods Angels blessed the porch on that day....
Most Sincerely, Amy Hoyt [email protected]

I did'nt get him out of the water fast enough. *Sigh* I thought he pulled through but he only stayed around long enough so his family could say bye. I tried felix i really did. Look out for him, i didnt know him very well but for the minutes i did, he was really cool. God Bless you, Grandma and justin...

Good afternoon felix,
I was at the beach and saved a man from drowning Felix! He wasn't breathing when i pulled him out. I prayed and asked that you and grandma would please help him. He was dead on scene but when 911 arrived they pronounced him dead 25min before we found him. At his arrival to the hospital, they put him on a machine and got him breathing! He is alive! So my question is, were you guys there?! :(

We were together for so many years people called our relationship a marriage. God chose a great man as a Guardian Angel for all of us. May God bless your mom, your brothers and fam. you are all in my prayers.

You are so missed.when I woke up this morning all I could do is think of you. My litte girl still remembers the day when you brought the new coffe table for your mom and you told her that she shouldn't sit on it. We all laughed when she looked at you in a funny way. And the they before the angels took you away from us we where talking about your trip to veges and how much fun you had. I hold you so dear to my heart. You where a good man with a good heart. That morning when a I dropped off my baby girl at your home (your mom was her baby sitter) you left the house all dress up looking sharp like always who would have thought that would be the last day I will see you. good bless you and your MOM (family) love always Arleen & cheynne

Felix,
These last few weeks have been tough. I cant stop thinking about you guys and how happy we would have been moving to Orlando together, looking for homes, and enjoying the sun. I miss you guys sooo much. I hate coming to work and seeing Ground Zero every day and remembering when I saw your tower on fire and hoping that you guys had gone to get breakfast. I will never be able to have a completely happy life knowing that you and Ivan cant be there to share with me.
I'm sure I dont need to tell you but you were truly loved by a lot of people. Look out for all of them.
Miss you. Gui

It's been three years and as I watch the 9/11 tribute on CNN I think of you and your family. The hardship of losing two sons must be overwhelming for your family. I have a little boy who is two and a half and I can't imagine the pain I would suffer if I lost him.
My grandmother Margarita is a cousin to your mother, therefore we too are related even if it is from a distance. Our entire family has felt the pain and please know that the loss of you and your brother will never be forgotten.
Your cousin,

Well Felix what can I say we miss you Dearly. I know your watching down on us and everytime I step on the softball field I think of you. We Retired your number #27 no one will wear that on our team as long as we have one. We are still pumping our Freestyle music every chance we get. We all miss you dearly and as the holidays approach and family starts to get together this was your time of the year. So Felix take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Felix:
Words can't express how much I miss you and hurt for your loss. I still can't fully accept that your gone. We shared alot of fun and special moments especially a very important day to us both, our high school Prom. I will cherish the pictures and memories always. We have been friends since high school and the friendship we shared was unique and will never be replaced. The last time we were in contact was on 9/10, I never would've thought that would be the last day we would be in touch...sad and horrible.
Thanks for always being there for me and for making me smile and feel special. You are my Guardian Angel.
I can't imagne your families pain. May God bless them all especially your mom, brothers and sister. The last time I saw them was at the church ceremony, I attended with my mom. Your family is beautiful and I wish I could continue to stay in touch with them. I have made several attempts but haven't been successful, I am sorry, they are always in my prayers. Thanks to your mom and cousins for always treating me nice. My family sends their blessings.
May you and Ivan Rest in Peace and take care of eachother like always. I know you guys are watching over your family and friends.
You will always be in my heart. Unitl we meet again....
Love Ya Always, J

Felix,
To my dearest friend.
I remember when I worked at Cantor in 97 and I first saw you. You reminded me of the cutie from that latin group Fulanito.(lol) You always made me laugh. I came to you to vent out when my boss was a jerk. I am glad I was able to have the pleasure in meeting you and having you as my friend.
My deepest condolences to your mom and the family. When I heard the twins have been hit you were first in mind. I called and no answer. It scared me and hurt.
I can only say. I miss you! I never thought that my last encounter in bumping into you would be my last. You always had a great smile.
You will always be in my heart and memory.
Mucho cariño y amor.. Zee

You will always be remembered.

I just wanted to say even though we are cousins who really never met my heart goes out with such sadness. I deeply feel for the mother who not lost one but two of her precious sons. As I watched from work what happened I never thought I would have family in there. I know that one day when it is my time to go I will meet you both up there in heaven. I pray for both of you and I am glad at least you had each other that day. My prayers go out to your family here and in Moca Puerto Rico where we come from. The impact hit over there as well and their prayers are with you and your loved ones. God bless you all and know they will never be forgotten.

Your cousin,

I remember Felix and Ivan when we used to hang out on the front porch of their house which seem like a lifetime ago. I loss touch with them and wish I could've stayed in touch. I had no idea they worked in the WTC until the day after this happened which really shocked me. My heart goes out to the family. May you rest in peace.
