In Loving Memory of Sipriano (Cipi) Cabrera
July 19, 1937 – August 8, 2025

Sipriano "Cipi" Cabrera passed away peacefully on August 8, 2025, at the age of 88. He leaves behind a legacy of love, integrity, and service. Cipi is survived by his devoted wife, Ramona Cabrera; his sister, Gloria Cabrera; his brother-in-law, Al Lomas; his daughter, Nancy Enriquez; his son-in-law, Ramon Enriquez; and many beloved grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. He now joins his parents, Cipriano and Aurora Cabrera, and his daughter, Diana Cabrera, in eternal rest.
As a teenager, Cipi worked alongside his parents delivering ice throughout the community-a job that instilled in him a strong work ethic and deep sense of responsibility. He later helped run the family's convenience store, Cabrera's Ice Station, where he became a familiar and cherished figure in the neighborhood. Known for his quiet demeanor, warm smile, and generous heart, he was respected and loved by all who knew him.
Cipi proudly served his country, rising quickly to the rank of Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force at a young age. His pride in being a veteran never waned. He continued his service to the nation by working at Kelly Air Force Base for over 30 years, where he was admired for his dedication and professionalism.
He was known for his honesty, gentleness, and tireless work ethic. A man of quiet strength and generosity, he lovingly raised two daughters and was the most incredible and irreplaceable father. His playful spirit and unwavering support for his family made him a pillar of love and stability.
Cipi now rests in the heaven he so richly deserves, remembered with deep love and gratitude by all whose lives he touched.
