Pablo Vazquez Obituary
Born November 6, 1960. Returned to Heaven January 25, 2007. Blessed this earth for a brief 46 years but shared enough love to last forever. Born and raised in New York. Served honorably in the Armed Forces, and joined the Department of Corrections in 1986. Pablo was well known and loved through out the institution for his kindness and ability to share love and happiness with whomever he met. During his career at CSP-SAC (New Folsom Prison) he met his wife, Debbie, whom they shared his last years together enjoying life and the love of one another. Rarely did you see one without the other, whether at work or at home. Their love was one-of-a-kind, so strong that they needed to be side-by-side all the time. His strength and love of his family and friends helped him survive a brain tumor twice allowing us all a little more time to enjoy his love. His wife saw him as a gift from God as they both found the true meaning of love and life in the past few years that they had searched for all of their lives.
Pablo is survived by his wife, Deborah Marie Vazquez; combined children, Marie Vazquez, Angelina, Louis, Joseph, and Christopher Rojas-Gutierrez-Vazquez; grandchildren, Avangeline, Alena, Nevaeh, Navario, Louis Jr., Nereyah, and Lillianna; loving mother, Luisa Cuilan; stepfather, Luis Pagan; siblings, Jorge, Fred, Luz, and Annette; sister-in-law, Geovanna; nieces and nephews, Danny Jr., Krismel, Christie, Vannette, and Gabriel; numerous friends & partners of the Department of Corrections.
Forever in my heart, always on my mind. We will always love you.
Private service will be held for close family and friends, contact family for details.
God saw he was getting tired,
And no help was to be seen.
So he put his arms around him,
And whispered, "Come with me."
With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer,
And saw him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly,
We could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

There hasn't been a day that I don't think about you, the saddest thing is the last time we spoke was a few days after New Years that you called me to wish me a happy new year and that you was busy and that you just wanted to say happy new year and that you love me and we both said that we loved each other in one way it was the best thing because you left me saying I just called you to say happy new year and that you love me, well those words I will never forget and I will always love you, the saddest part was that you left me 8 days after my birthday and that I will never forget as well, I just wished that you could have stuck around much longer to see how your nephews are growing to be such men and Gabriel your godson is going to become a doctor and you would have loved Joshua as well, dear brother I miss you and love you with all of my heart and I will never forget the bond that we both bad but in my heart you are still with me and you'll always be in my heart I love you and miss you so much

Pablo Vazquez Jr.
November 6, 1960 – January 25, 2007
You think I've gone, that I am dead, and life has lost its will,
But look around, I am right here, living with you still,
I watch your tears, I feel your pain-I see the things you do,
I weep as well, each time you cry; my soul it lives with you.
It gives me such joy to hear you laugh, and do the things you do,
And when you smile over bygone days, I smile right there with you,
For we are still one, just you and me, one mind, one soul, one being,
Walking forward into life, though you are only seen,
And in the stillness of the night, when the pain really starts,
Stretch out a little with your mind, and draw me to your heart,
I am always right here, always by your side,
For you have all my life's days, my joy, my love, my pride.....
Thank you baby for loving me, you are beyond any dream come true.
I miss you and love you so very much!
Forever in my heart, Always on my mind
Love your wife Debbie

Happy Birthday Baby!
You made life amazing, not just for me, but for all that you touched. You were an Angel here just as you are in heaven. It is when you are truly happy that you are able to radiate your true self, your inner being to all around you. At that time people see your happiness not just physically, but they can feel it and it is contagious. I miss everything about you and cherish every minute that we shared. It is your Birthday and family and friends will gather in your honor today and thank you for touching their lives as only you could. I love you more than life, see you soon

My one and only,
Hours have turned into days and days into months, nine months to be exact. The pain of you not being here consumes my body and soul with such anguish and sorrow that I can never be who I once was. How am I to be happy when you were the one that made me smile, you were the one that made me laugh, you were the one that made me feel alive. I miss your touch, your smile, your kiss, your words and your expressions of love to me. You were the most amazing husband and friend to me and you gave the kids the gift of having a father that loved them more than they could have ever dreamed. Angelina loves knowing that you would always call her your little princess, Louis was you man, Joseph and Christopher were your sons and yes, Christopher is still keeping his promise to you, and he is going into Corrections just like you, his daddy. Our grand kids, your babies, they kiss your pictures, pray for you every night and love to tell stories about all the sleep over’s’ that you let them have. We had the perfect family, a happy family filled with love the way a family is supposed to be. Thank you for loving us as much as we love you. Until I am in your arms again
Mrs. Debbie Vazquez
September 25, 2007
Baby, eight months have passed since God took you home and not a day goes by that I don’t think about you, miss you and long for you and our love. I continue to follow through with our plans and our home is still “OUR HOME” that will never change. Your memory reigns throughout every room of our home and your designs are being implemented to further ensure your memory and our dreams together. I think about our lives together and our last moments, I am so happy that we shared so much love with one another, you were amazing and you have forever changed my life. You have proven to the world that God truly exists, for only God could have molded and created such a man as you that was loved and adored as much in life as you are in physical absence. I love you more than life

6 Years ago today you were suppose to fly back to CA and couldn't because of the attack to the World Trade Center. I remember when I got to mommies building and the elevator door opening as I was a mess since I had to run from the dust as one of the buildings fell and going right into your arms crying. What a crazy day that was, but whats more crazy is that here it is 6 years later and YOUR not here... I miss you LOTSSS!!!
Take care of our kids... PLEASE
Love you... Nettie

Baby,
I love you so much and miss you so bad. No one understands what it feels like to lose a gift from God unless they have walked the same path as I am. It has been seven long months since you held me in your arms and I am so lost without you. My belief in God keeps me going as I know that I will one day be in your arms again. Watch over our kids and help me to help them. I don't know how to make their pain stop, they miss you so bad and it hurts me to see them cry because they miss you and talk about the plans you had with them. Thank you for all the ADC's you keep giving, I look forward to everyone. I love you

Baby it has been five long months today since God took you home, the anguish of missing you is embedded in my heart so deep that not a minute goes by that I do not think of you and long for our lives back. I look at all of our pictures that we have of us and our family together, in every picture you have the biggest smile on your face, a look of pure happiness, a look that shall forever be etched in my heart and mind. Our life together was breathtaking, we shared so much together, we knew each other better than anyone else could have ever known us, the real us, the people we were individually and who we were united as one. It was as if we were living in another realm of reality; a realm where no one else mattered but us, where we were safe from all the detestation from outside. Together the only emotions that we experienced were love and happiness for one another and our family, and now I must try to be patient until God takes me home to be in your loving arms again. Thank you for being my gift from God, so few people ever receive a gift as precious as you, I am honored that I was your chosen one, your Soul Mate.
Forever Mrs. Deborah M Vazquez

Happy Fathers Day Baby!
You are the epitome of the word “Father,” you gave love so freely and unconditionally that it will always fill the hearts of those that received it. Some go through life not realizing what they have until it is gone and then their lives are filled with all of the questions of what if? You were so amazing in every way that you made it so easy for everyone around you to love you. You reached out to all in need and volunteered your time to help children that had no fathers or that just needed someone to stand in and give them guidance at times in their lives that they experienced turbulence. Your courage through out Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, and Gamma Knife surgery gave hope to those who felt hopeless. Seeing you so happy and in love, holding your head up high and going to work everyday knowing that you would survive made others realize that believing in God and trusting in him can heal all and bring joy to everyone’s life. We cherish and love you more than words; your memories fill our hearts and minds with everlasting love, and a life together that was AMAZING, we thank you. I also want to thank you for all the ADC’s that you sent me and the kids, keep them coming baby they warm our hearts! For Father’s Day me and the kids our celebrating your life and the love that you gave us, we honor you as a Father, Husband, Grandfather, Friend, and as a Wonderful man. Until I am in your arms once again, you will be Forever in my heart, Always on my mind!

Baby it has been four long months since God took you home and I cannot stop thinking about you and how happy we were. I know that God blessed me with you here on earth and I truly believe that he will again bless me and allow me to join you for eternity just as we planned. Pastor Gloria came by our house yesterday to check up on the kids and me. She was talking about how every time she seen you, you were so happy; not just during service but even at the long drawn out graduation ceremonies for the kids and even after work when you would go in to pick up the kids; she said that you would always tell her “I’m here to get my grandkids!” I remember them fighting over who loves Papa more and you know what, they still fight over you. Pastor Gloria asked me why we didn’t have her marry us, I told her the truth, we were just so happy to finally get married that we just grabbed the kids and ran to the alter. My memories of you are as fresh in my mind as today is. I have never been so happy in my life until you came into it, thank you for being you and loving me completely, you fill my heart, body, and soul with your love. I love you baby.
Forever in my heart, Always on my mind!

Was thinking of you today and how we would chill in bed watching silly tv shows or Bruce Lee movies - mainly 'cuz that's all Fred would put on. LOL Life was somewhat simpler then. Regardless of the different paths our lives took; you were, and always be, my big brother. Nobody can ever take that from me. Rest in Peace sweetie - your burden and stress have been lifted.

The Last Trip
"Correction Officer, Come this way, Stand before my light.
I see you've done your time on earth, And died this very night,
Have you lived by my Commandments, have you always done what's best"?
"My Lord, before I answer that, Do I get a Union Rep''?
The Lord said, "Son you're on your own, To me you must explain.''
"I'll try and do my best Lord, I"ll make it very Plain".
"Lord, I've worked most Sundays, And I've been in my share of fights.
But I've never run away Lord, This job is full of frights.
Some days I worried if I'd get home, To see my kids grow up.
Or how the bills, Would get paid, If the inmates tore me up."
"I've walked down halls, Were men were screaming, Locked behind metal gates.
We couldn't leave'em in there Lord, We had to Crack those gates.
We took control the best we could, And sent them on there way.
The worst thing Lord was getting stuck, With a needle or a blade.
Your name was said in vain Lord, From fear, And from the danger.
most people on the street Lord, Don't deal well with this anger."
"Most people on the street, Don't see the things we see Lord.
But they read about the weak ones, In the Sunday news, Lord.
They never hear, About lives we save, And care we give the inmates.
And how we help each other out, In the time of danger.
At times we're one big family, "Specially when we lose one.
I know you get my meaning Lord, I see my friends are with ya.''
"I never had a grand home Lord, I may have cared too much.
I knew the job I was doing, Kept me out of touch.
I"ve looked out for the Children Lord, You placed around my beat.
I"ve never hurt your animals Lord, Except for those, That walked on their two feet."
"So Lord, If you can let me in, Just for a little while.
I"ll have my friends,Show me around, Then I"ll hit the tiles."
The Lord said, "Son unpack your bags, You've done you're Time in Hell.
Here's a key, For Gate #1, I think you"ll fit in well."
My husband was the best Officer that God created and God blessed us all with him here on earth. As Officers we do a thankless job but do it because were called, we know that we make a difference because it is us that are hurt 9 out of 10 times proctecting your lives instead of our own. We are the only ones that go into the same war zone on a daily basis not knowing what to expect, not knowing if we will see our husbands or wives at the end of the days light. We learn how to cherish life, how to turn to the other cheek and what love really means as when the day that you live may be your last you cherish every minute of every day. I was blessed to work with my husband and to enjoy more time with him than most married couples get in life. My husband was just listed on the Memorial Wall and I can not explain the pride that I have nor that for the first time since God took him home I have tears that flow from my eyes that are from feeling so much love just from looking at a picture of recognition of the perfect man, husband and officer.
My husband on Fathers Day, happy and surprised that we bought him so many presents!

Well Pablo he was my dad. He has been there for me and my family in the dark times and the bright he showed me what it takes to be a real man to show the ones you love how much you realy care and he showed us that every day by playing pool with me and my mom and brothers and talking to us about life and love. He was fun to play with but after like 2 beers he would turn silly, but Im glad to say it was fun. But most of all I'll remeber when he would show me and my brothers his karate moves and we would be like is it gunna hurt beacuse if it is dont do it ok,and he would say nah it isn't gunna hurt. Next thing you know either me or my brothers is on the floor holding our arm or leg or some body part and he would say see it didnt hurt yea right lol but I loved it that he showed my mom he loved her everyday no matter what he would be doing either at work or just went out he would call her more than 8 times within 1 hour just to tell her that he loves her and I don't know anybody besides him who would do that.
And I can tell that everyday that my mom and dad spent together was heaven in thier own way. Even tho he may be gone his love will last forever in my heart and my family.
Well if you didn't know i realy never had a dad you can say, till my mom and Pablo got together that was the closest thing ever in my life that I ever had close to a real dad and as time progressed he realy became my DAD and till this day I am glad to say that Pablo is my dad and will forever be my dad.
I will always love you Dad I will never I mean never forget you or your love you showed me as a son I love you Pablo.
Love Your Son:

My Tio,
I was in shock the moment that I found out that you passed away, and then seeing the picture of the accident on the internet was crazy. I remember when you came out to NY for Thanksgiving back in '04, that was the last time I saw you. You were teaching all of your nieces and DJ that nose technique if someone ever tried to hurt us, we still remember it. You were telling us stories and I remember telling you that you should come and move to NY so we can all be together; that it would be a lot of fun. I really wish I could've spent a lot more time with you Tio, but I am not going to be saddened by the lack of time. You were an uncle that made any second count. I will remember the memories and conversations with you. Ever since you passed I have the picture of you and me at Abuelita's house together in my room. I really do miss you Tio because I know I will never get to see you or speak to you in this life time, but I know you are watching down on all of us. Mommy is still having a hard time, I guess it hasn't really hit her yet. But she misses you a lot, and cries every time she thinks about you. We all love you and miss you Tio, but we will meet again.

Love
Love is patient, love is kind,
Live is not jealous or boastful;
Love is never selfish or rude.
It is neither resentful
Nor quick to take offense.
Love keeps no record of wrongs,
Takes no pleasure in other men's sins
But delights in the truth.
Love bears all things,
Always trusts and always hopes,
Always perseveres, endures, and
Outlasts all things.
Love never fails.
Love never ends.
Love is Forever

If I could have a lifetime wish,
A dream that would come true;
I'd pray to God with all my heart
for yesterday and you.
A thousand words can't bring you back,
I know, because I've tried... Neither will a thousand tears,
I know because I've cried..
You left behind my broken heart, and happy memories too...
But I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you!
Until I am in your arms again,
you will always be;
Forever in my heart
and always on my mind.

Pablo, I just want to say I'm glad I had the opportunity to know you. When I was a child you help take care of my brother and I afew days a week. My mother was always working and your family welcomed us with arm's wide open. You where always a great person and I will always remember that about you. Although I haven't seen you for many years, the impression you left is deep and it will never fade. Your Children and Loved Ones Are In My prayers.
Love and Respect

My Soul Mate, my Love, my Husband; I love you, I miss you and I need you more than words dare to express their true meaning.
"All Who Wander Are Not Lost"
February 11, 2007
Seek The Truth and you shall find it. You do not find true love, in God’s time he allows it to find you. Pablo and Deb were given a beautiful gift, the gift of love. They became one, they were meant to be, they are soul mates. Deb’s children and grandchildren also became ‘one” with Pablo, they became a family. Pablo, a loving man with a beautiful smile and forgiving heart, touched many and found his one and only, his soul mate in Deb. So many of us try to make things work that are not meant to be; remember as a child trying to fit the square peg into the round hole? Blessed are the children young and old that have an open mind and seek the truth. God gave them the life they shared, He gave them one another and the gift of love. Do not be blinded by bitterness and resentment of what came before Pablo and Deb, be glad in your memories, know that Pablo found his happiness with Deb, and walk into the future with love in your hearts.
Many tumble through life like the tumbleweed,
Finding no place to rest.
Ever searching always wandering,
Like a pebble in a flowing stream tumbling along with the water flow,
Finding no place to rest.
Then as the waters push, you find a crack and begin to rest.
But the water pushes you on until weak and weary you stop tumbling,
Slipping into a safe resting-place, between two rocks.
The rocks around you sustain you,
You drift no more.
The Lord is the rock and salvation, allowing you to seek rest in He.
No more wandering, no more searching,
Finding rest in He who is the rock,
The giver of life and the gift of love.
td
Pablo and Deb found rest in one another, no longer tumbling through life searching. They were given something many of us just dream of; they were given a wonderful moment in time to live, love, and laugh together. Pablo loves you Deb and is right there with you in your heart .
(It is with great sadness that some cards, money, a memory box and other items are missing from Deb’s. Since it is difficult to know what items were from whom, please know that your thoughts and kindness are appreciated.)

To my one and only; My Husband
Honey I miss you so very bad and I do not know what to do with out you here with me. I know that you are watching over me as I can feel you and smell you everywhere in the house. You gave me the greatest gift that anyone could have asked for and that is your everlasting love. Some people never find what we have nor will they ever feel as confident in a love as we have. Never once did I doubt you loving me as you told me everyday all day long just how much I mean to you just as I told you. I always saved every single voice mail that you sent me until you would fill the mailbox up and I would have to start all over again. Well I still have four of your messages telling me how much you love me and need me, you said that I was a gift from God to you but it was the other way around as you were and will always be my gift from God. I thank you for leaving all of the love notes all throughout the house as it makes me feel so good inside reading all of your love letters to me. Our last night together was so beautiful, the way you touched me and loved me and we talked about our thirtieth wedding anniversary and the stories that we would tell the kids. You are my soul mate, from the time you came to California we lived in the same apartment complex, same neighborhood and then worked the same job. How many people can say that? God just wanted us to learn how to love and to experience turmoil prior to meeting so that we would know what love was all about and we did. You would be so proud of all of our friends and family, they came forward and helped me so much with all of the planning of your services, I needed them so much, and they were all there as I still feel like I am walking in circles trying to figure out what battle lays in wait for us. I will continue to fight every battle that heads our way just as I did before it is just so hard now because your not here. I love you more than life and always will!

Hi Grandnpa,
I miss you. I want to see you but my Mommy and Papa told us that you are with Jesus and our Nani now. Tell her we said "Hi". I hope you are watching us and can see that we miss you. My Mommy said one day we will all be together again. I can't wait. We'll be talking to you soon because Mommy and Papa told us that you wil listen to us. We love you grandpa!

To my loving Daddy,
You are the worlds greatest Dad! I just wanted to thank you for being the father you were and always being there for me when I needed you. Out of your four kids you were the toughest with me. Maybe that's because I was your little tom boy or because I was the only one tough enough to have the privilege to be taught Tae Kwon Doe by you. You made me become a very strong woman and I thank you for that Dad. I will never forget everything we've been through. Our ups and our downs. But no matter what I know the you love me and you will always be my Daddy! It was so hard for me to say goodbye to you Dad, just know that you will always be in my heart and I will never forget you and always love you. I wish you could still be here but I know you were tired and finally had to be at rest. I can't wait to see you and be with you again Dad! Thanks for everything! I LOVE YOU!
Love Always,
Your Daughter

Pablo the greatest "brother" we had. We cherished your friendship and we will miss your big smiles, and specially your hugs, but we know you are at peace in heaven as God's helper, bless us with those sprinkles of genuine love you carried in your heart for all, and give to those who are missing it, so that we can be with you when our time comes. "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord". 1Corinthians 15:58

Pablo, I know you are still here, if only in spirit, to watch over your beautiful and loving wife, Deb, children and numerous friends. I know you are still living in the hearts of all those you touched and knew. You were a special man who had a special way with helping "us girls" you worked with. I pray for all who mourn you, that their hearts will be filled with love and respect and no ill will. You helped me through a dark time in my life, and I hope to continue helping others through their dark times, as I learned from you. I will do everything I can to help your beloved wife through her roughest challenge. Pablo, please, continue to touch those who loved you, be with them and always and let your presence be known. My prayers to all who are hurting.

My husband Pablito I love you!!!
My husband was and will always be my love, my best friend, my life and my world. When you think about him, smile and remember that he was a gift from God. We had the best life together, we laughed, played and cried together. He held my hand every night as we slept and laid his legs upon mine ensuring that we touched. We even bought a queen bed because he said he wanted us as close to each other as possible. I pray that all of you have or will one day have the love that we shared and be as happy as we were. He showed me what life was all about, my life was and will always be him.
Forever in my heart, always on my mind!

Pablo you were a friend and co-worker. When I worked at CSP-Sac I knew that if I needed anything you would beable to tell me who to call or you would do it for me. You escorted me on several of my duties when working in CCCMS/EOP Units and I'm very thankful for the escort and the kind words and of course the huggs. Thanks for being my true friend I will miss you!!

Pablo, we would both like to thank you for being such a good friend. We were all supposed to get together for dinner after our baby was born but as all of our lives are so busy we tend to take things for granted, even our good friends.You will be greatly missed, Love, your brother and sister in Christ. To Debra and Kids, we are truly sorry for your great loss and know that we are here for you. With all of our love and prayers John and Leonore Munoz
