VIRGILIO ANTONIO QUERALES, AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN AS TONY, WHO DEPARTED THIS

WORLD PEACEFULLY IN HIS SLEEP ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2023, IN SOUTH HOUSTON,

TEXAS AT THE AGE OF 80. TONY HELD A SPECIAL PLACE IN THE HEARTS OF HIS LOVED ONES,

AND HIS MEMORY WILL FOREVER BE A CHERISHED TREASURE.

TONY WAS BORN IN BARQUISIMETO, VENEZUELA ON JUNE 14TH, 1945, TO PARENTS VIRGILIO

QUERALES CUICAS AND CHIQUINQUIRA DEL ROSARIO UGAS DE QUERALES. FROM THAT

MOMENT, TONY BEGAN HIS REMARKABLE JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE. FROM HIS EARLY YEARS,

TONY FOUND SOLACE AND JOY IN THE SEA, WHERE HE USED TO VENTURE OUT ONTO ITS

WATERS. TONY ALSO POSSESSED AN UNDENIABLE PASSION FOR NATURE AND ANIMALS. HE

DISCOVERED WONDER IN THE EXQUISITE TAPESTRY OF GOD'S CREATION. HIS DEVOTION

FOR GOD WAS HIS GUIDING LIGHT. SPREADING GOD'S LOVE AS A LASTING IMPRINT ON

THOSE WHO HE KNEW.

THROUGHOUT THEIR 55 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, TONY AND ANA WEATHERED LIFE'S STORMS

TOGETHER, PROVING THAT LOVE AND COMMITMENT CAN ENDURE EVEN IN THE FACE OF

ADVERSITY. THEIR JOURNEY WAS A TESTAMENT TO THE COMPLEXITIES OF LOVE, SHOWING

THAT THROUGH THE UPS AND DOWNS, THEY REMAINED A STEADFAST TEAM, SUPPORTING

EACH OTHER THROUGH THICK AND THIN.

TONY'S LEGACY CONTINUES THROUGH HIS FIVE CHILDREN, LENIN, VLADIMIR, ROSIE, SILVIA, AND ELIZABETH, EACH OF WHOM CARRIES FORWARD HIS VALUES, WISDOM, AND LOVE. HIS ROLE AS A FATHER WAS NOT ONLY MEANINGFUL BUT ALSO INSTRUMENTAL IN SHAPING THE LIVES OF HIS CHILDREN.

HIS ROLE AS A GRANDFATHER BROUGHT TONY IMMENSE JOY. HE LEAVES BEHIND BEAUTIFUL

MEMORIES WITH HIS GRANDCHILDREN, NATHAN, ALEX, JOSHUA, DOMINIQUE, AND JOSEPH.

HIS LOVE AND GUIDANCE WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED AS THEY CARRY HIS SPIRIT

FORWARD.

THROUGH CHURCH AND FELLOWSHIP TONY'S CIRCLE OF FRIENDS EXTENDED FAR AND WIDE,

TOUCHING THE LIVES OF MANY. HIS KINDNESS AND SENSE OF HUMOR WERE A SOURCE OF

COMFORT AND LAUGHTER TO ALL WHO KNEW HIM.

TONY IS SURVIVED BY HIS LOVING WIFE ANA, HIS CHILDREN LENIN, VLADIMIR, ROSIE, SILVIA,

AND ELIZABETH, HIS GRANDCHILDREN, NATHAN, ALEX, JOSHUA, DOMINIQUE, AND JOSEPH,

AND HIS SIBLINGS ANA, JESUS AND VICTOR.

HE IS ALSO REUNITED IN ETERNITY WITH HIS PREDECEASED PARENTS, VIRGILIO QUERALES

CUICAS AND CHIQU1NQUIRA DEL ROSARIO UGAS DE QUERALES, AND SIBLINGS JOSE RAFAEL

QUERALES UGAS AND CHINQUINQUIRA ROSARIO DE SILVA QUERALES WHO ARE

REMEMBERED WITH LOVE AND AFFECTION.

THE FAMILY WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS THEIR HEARTFELT GRATITUDE TO ALL WHO HAVE

SHOWN THEIR SUPPORT AND LOVE DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. YOUR PRESENCE AND

CONDOLENCES ARE DEEPLY APPRECIATED.

EVEN AS WE BEAR THE WEIGHT OF OUR GRIEF, LET US CELEBRATE TONY'S LIFE AS A SHINING

EXAMPLE OF LOVE, STRENGTH, AND WISDOM. IN OUR HEARTS, WE KNOW THAT HE HAS

ASCENDED TO A PLACE OF ETERNAL JOY, WHERE HE REJOICES. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO

WATCH OVER US, LIGHTING OUR WAY AS WE JOURNEY THROUGH THE DAYS AHEAD.
