Fidel Vasquez, born on March 18, 1950, in Chicago, was a beloved son, brother, father, and friend. He passed away peacefully in Las Vegas on December 24, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories.

Fidel was the proud father of Fidel Vasquez III, who will carry forward the values and spirit instilled in him by his father. He was surrounded by many friends who appreciated his kindness, wit, and generous nature.
