He is survived by his devoted wife of 62 years, Gloria and his 4 children Eunice, Priscilla, Abel, and Gloria Ann.
Abel was deeply beloved by his 12 grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren and 1 great, great grandson and will be remembered fondly by his surviving brothers Eliseo, Daniel, Angel, and Benjamin and remaining loved ones, coworkers, neighbors and friends.
He is preceded into Heavenly Glory by his beloved parents Eliseo and Refugia and his adored sister Rachel.
Abel was a rare breed of man. He was a strong man but could laugh and joke with such a natural ease. Being a natural people person, everywhere he went he found someone that he could carry a conversation with. He worked hard and loved to work. He carried a passion inside of him that wanted excellence for himself and those around him and he often pushed others to work harder, to grow and learn, to
try and not give up in their lives, whether it was in their personal lives, work or school.
He absolutely loved his family and he would call his children, siblings, and grandchildren often to chat with them, to check on them, or to just see if they needed anything. Everywhere he went, he bragged about his family because he loved and adored them that much.
He will be greatly missed and the void that his passing leaves can never be filled, but the comfort of knowing that he placed his eternal salvation and hope into the hands of his Savior, Jesus Christ, brings his family and loved ones the most sublime peace and comfort of knowing we will be reunited again with him in the Heavenly Kingdom of God.
