Raul Natal, Jr., lovingly known as "Chickie," passed away on November 10, 2025, in Waterbury, Connecticut. He was born on March 1, 1970, in Brooklyn, New York, and remained deeply connected to his roots throughout his life.

He was also a faithful patron of the Pentecostal church on Willow Street in Waterbury, where he found strength, fellowship, and peace.

Raul lived a simple yet deeply meaningful life. He enjoyed consignment shopping, taking frequent walks, and going on familiar, comforting trips. He had a warm fondness for pets and a genuine appreciation for good food-two things that always brought him joy.

Known for his gentle soul and caring nature, Raul touched many lives with his kindness. He carried himself with quiet dignity, always ready to help others, and was cherished by a wide circle of long-time friends. His humility, warmth, and steady presence made him a person others loved to be around.

Raul "Chickie" Natal, Jr. will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him.
