Antonio Perez Obituary

Antonio Perez passed peacefully surrounded by family on January 30th, 2025 at the age of 80. Antonio was born on May 20, 1944 in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. His eighty years were filled with beautiful days and he has left a lasting impact on all of our hearts. Antonio and his wife Carmen Maria were married for 60 years. Antonio came from a large family. He is survived by his six siblings: Two brothers and four sisters. As well as four children; Maribel Rodriguez, Jose Antonio Rodriguez, Joel Rodriguez, and Cynthia Santaniello, and his eight grandchildren. Describing Antonio in a few words isn't simple. He was a man of many accomplishments and dreams. As a proud employee of UPS, Antonio worked hard throughout his life to provide for his loved ones. He was an avid fisherman which was a passion he shared with his two sons. His love for gardening brought his family together. He will live on in our gardens for years to come. His love for cars brought many great memories to the family and friends around him. He always commanded respect in his words and actions. He had a great sense of humor, which left those around him laughing. Antonio passed down his effortless sense of humor which will live on for years to come. Antonio's life was a mixture of triumph and hardship, but through it all, he carried a heart full of love and compassion. His final wish was that his family would not suffer and that they would always carry the love and strength he instilled in them. Though he is no longer with us, his big heart and the memories he created will live on forever in the lives of those he leaves behind.
