Luis Velasquez
Rodriguez, devoted
husband, father, brother, grandfather, and friend, was welcomed into the gates
of Heaven on Monday, March 14, 2016 in Winter Garden, Florida, after living
life to the fullest for over 94 years. He was born in Barceloneta, Puerto Rico on February 2, 1922,
son of the late Florentina (Rodriguez) and Quintin Velasquez.
Luis was a warm, loving man known
for his kindness, charm, love for life and family, generosity, razor-sharp
memory, and unforgettable smile. An avid baseball fan, his greatest joy was in
spending time with his family. He was humble and hard-working, retiring from
Lake Terminal Railroad after 35 years of service. Just as strong as he was
gentle, Luis was a shining example of integrity and unwavering faith. He
tirelessly served others within the Charismatic movement, Los Cursillos, Santo
Nombre Men’s Group, and as both a Eucharistic Minister and Treasurer for Sacred
Heart Chapel in Lorain, Ohio.
Luis is reunited with his wife of
over 60 years, Luisa V. Rodriguez (4/26/2013), and leaves to cherish his memory
son Edwin Velasquez (wife Robin) of Winter Garden; daughter Nicza Carrion
(husband Louis) of Windermere; as well as his adoring grandchildren Stefanie
Davis (husband Rick), Eddie Velasquez (wife Teri), Mindy Colon (husband Will),
Vanessa Velasquez, Jesse Carrion, Daniel and Lindsie Landrigan; great
grandchildren, Melina and Marisa Davis, Jaxden and Giana Colon, and Marky.

De Parte de la familia de Genaro Carrion..los mas profundo sentimieno para la familia Velasquez en estos dia..SIempre me recordare de Luis y Luisa con mucho alegria y muy amable miembros de el Sagrado Corazon de Lorain, Ohio. Descanse en Paz
I am sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. I hope the family will find some comfort and strength in Jesus promise of the earthly resurrection(Acts 24:15)and the renewed Paradise earth, where death will be no more and no family will mourn the death of a loved one.-Revelation 21:3,4;John 5:28,29;Luke 23:43. May GOD(Psalms 83:18)grant you peace and comfort now, during this grievous time.-Matthew 5:4.
Estimada Familia de Luis,
Lamento mucho su perdida. Es cierto que nunca nos acostumbramos a la muerte de un ser querido, pero pueden estar seguros que a nuestro Dios le duele cada vez que sufrimos. Tanto que le duele a Dios, que llama a la muerte un "enemigo" y nos promete que lo acabara (1 Corintios 15:26). Podemos estar seguros que Jehová Dios cumplirá con esta promesa y que resucitara a nuestros seres queridos como se encuentra en Juan 5:28, 29. Sinceramente espero que estas promesas les den consuelo durante este momento difícil.
Si le gustaría, puedes leer o escuchar la Biblia en www.jw.org y también leer artículos y videos que le fortalecerán su fe en las promesas de la resurrección.
“[God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more.”—REV. 21:4. This is what God promises. Very soon, here on earth, it will come true.
