Obituary of Felix DeJesus
Con profundo pesar, anunciamos el fallecimiento de Félix DeJesus-Batista, quien nació el 9 de junio de 1930 y partió de este mundo el 2 de junio de 2024. Nacido en la República Dominicana, Félix fue el hermano mayor de 13 hermanos, a quienes guió y cuidó como una figura paterna.
Félix sirvió en el ejército y trabajó en el poder judicial antes de emigrar a los Estados Unidos a principios de los años 70. En su nuevo hogar, comenzó trabajando en una fábrica y, con su dedicación y esfuerzo, ascendió a supervisor en su área.
Padre amoroso de cuatro hijos, Anulfo, Raquel, Marisol (quien ya falleció), Andrés y Félix (Felito), Félix fue un hombre que disfrutaba de los placeres sencillos de la vida. Amante del béisbol, la música, los juegos de dominó, las aventuras y la buena comida, Félix siempre encontraba alegría en compartir momentos con sus seres queridos.
Aunque luchó contra la enfermedad en sus últimos años, su mente se mantuvo fuerte y siempre apreció las visitas de sus familiares y amigos. La memoria de Félix DeJesus-Batista vivirá en los corazones de todos aquellos que tuvieron la fortuna de conocerlo y amarlo. Será recordado y extrañado profundamente por sus seres más queridos.
Descansa en paz, Félix. Tu legado y amor perdurarán para siempre.
