It is with profound sadness that I share the passing of my father Felix Melendez. He was born in Corozal, Puerto Rico on May 2, 1940 and died peacefully on March 17, 2025. He was a man of immense humor and wisdom who cherished every moment spent with family. He is survived by his wife Rebeca Melendez, children Felix Melendez Jr., Miriam Melendez, Danny Melendez, Justina Melendez, Lucy Barrera and Felix Joel Melendez. He will be greatly missed by his siblings, Santos, Josian and Cruz Melendez. Along with his nieces, nephews, cousins, additional family and friends. His grandchildren and great grandchildren were his pride and joy. We will miss you forever and your memory will never fade. Preceded in death by his daughter Lucy and granddaughter Marina.
