In his later years, Emilio moved to Jacksonville, Florida, after facing health challenges, continuing to live surrounded by love and the warmth of family.
Emilio was the embodiment of generosity, compassion, and resilience. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and brother, he never hesitated to lend a helping hand and always put others before himself.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Felipe and Cecilia, and two brothers, Anthony and Jose.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 53 years, Ana; his children Junior (Ivette) and Damaris; grandchildren Joel, Kayla, Jessica, Sherina, Jayda, Jasmine, Jacob, David, Rachel, Ruth, and Danny; and eleven great-grandchildren.
