Celestino was born on October 31, 1950 in Chiriqui, Panama to his parents, Sabina Gutierrez and Celestino Cubilla. He graduated from San Antonio Bachillerato, Universidad de Panama, and Catholic University of America. Later, he worked for the Panama Canal as a financial analyst under the U.S. government. Then, after coming to the United States, he worked for Pomeranz Financial Services as an investment advisor/director of operations. He married Gilma Castano in September of 1981.

Celestino lived life happily, always with a smile on his face as he told jokes and stories. He loved to travel, which is shown in his time spent in Panama City, Bogota, and, eventually, Boca Raton. Along with traveling, Celestino loved reading maps and spending his time at the beach. He also enjoyed eating mariscos, his favorite food. Celestino's life was spent surrounded by love from and laughter with his family and many friends.

Celestino is survived by his wife, Gilma Cubilla, and his daughter, Ana Maria Cubilla, his brothers and sister, his mother, Sabina, and many cousins. He is preceded in death by his father, Celestino.

Luego, después de venir a los Estados Unidos, trabajó para Pomeranz Financial Services como asesor de inversiones / director de operaciones. Se casó con Gilma Castano en septiembre de 1981.

Celestino vivía felizmente, siempre con una sonrisa en el rostro mientras contaba chistes e historias.

Te fuiste y quedamos muy tristes. Gracias por tantos años de amistad y cariño, por los bellos momentos compartidos mientras veiamos crecer a nuestros hijos, por tantas anécdotas y risas e interminables tardes de tertulia. Fuiste un gran esposo y padre amoroso y dedicado, y para nosotros un entrañable amigo, caballero integro, ejemplo de tenacidad y trabajo. Te vamos a echar de menos, Celes, pero recuerda que este es solo un "hasta pronto".....hoy celebramos tu vida y no tu partida...... descansa en paz !!!!
