It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of
Rogelio (Roger) Correa, on May 25, 2023, in his home in Orlando, FL. He was a beloved husband, grandfather, and
great grandfather who filled void in all of our lives in a time when it was
needed most.
Roger was born on August 12, 1949, in San Juan, Puerto
Rico. He grew up with his siblings and
attended university at Colegio Technologico de la Comunidad del Municipio de
San Juan Colegio in Puerto Rico where he obtained a degree in Electronics in Technology. He went on to work for Xerox where he made
lifelong friends. Roger worked for Xerox
for 45 years where he retired from in 2014.
Roger was a devoted husband to his wife, Miriam, for 29
years. From the day they met they were inseparable. They had four children, 13 grandchildren,
and four great grandchildren, whom he adored. Roger was a kind and generous
person. He’s love was unmeasurable and infectious. Through his life we learned
how to love and overcome life’s challenges.
Roger was an avid camper and enjoyed spending time outdoors
with his wife and friends.
He loved to travel and explore new places with his
wife. Roger had a great sense of humor
and loved to make people laugh. He always helped with fixing his family’s
electronic devices and cars. He spent
many days teaching his kids how to drive and fix our cars. He said he was not a
mechanic, but the car made him act like one. He will be remembered for his
infectious smile and kind heart. He lit up every room he walked into.

Correa and grandson Josiah Correa.
