Hector Perez

Hector Perez, affectionately known as "Tito", born on the 28th of May 1965 in Montevideo, Uruguay, was a warm-hearted and passionate man whose life was a testament to love and resilience. A man of great strength, Hector was known for his infectious laughter, his insurmountable courage, and his unwavering commitment to his family. He was a beacon of hope and a pillar of strength for everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. As William Shakespeare once said, "It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves," and Hector embraced this wholeheartedly, creating a legacy of love, hard work, and perseverance that will forever be etched in our hearts.

Hector was a devoted husband to Diania Perez, whom he married on the 5th of January 2002. Together, they created a life full of love, warmth, and laughter. Hector was a dedicated construction foreman whose work ethic was admired by all who worked with him. He brought the same dedication and love to his home in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, which he filled with joy and love. Hector was a beloved son of the late Villanueva Perez and Siley Fuentes. He was a cherished brother to Nilso, Ariel, and Mabel Perez. He was a passionate father to his children, Eduardo, Leonel, and Shirley Perez, and stepchildren, Amanda, Alexcia, Ashleigh, and Adriana Mauro, as they were the pride and joy of his life. His grandchildren, Kayleigh, Aubriella, Emilio, Rose, Vito, Aylah, Parker, Shawn, Ana Sofia, Evalina, Izaiah, and his late granddaughter Lilynel were his heart's delight, along with many more nieces and nephews.

Hector's life was a testament to the enduring power of love, determination, and hard work. He was a man who lived his life with passion, integrity, and grace, inspiring everyone around him. His spirit, his strength, and his love for his family will forever be remembered and cherished. As Helen Keller once said, "What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." Hector Perez is not just a memory to be held, but a part of our hearts that will forever remain.
