Hector’s first career was that of a Police Officer and Special Agent in Puerto Rico where he served for seven years. In 2002, he moved from New York to Florida with his wife, Carmen and two daughters, Catherine and Dolly. In Cape Coral, Hector worked for and retired from the Lee County School Board at North Fort Myers High School. He later worked part time at Kid's Connection Early Learning Center where he was loved by all the teachers, children and parents.
Hector was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. Faith and Family were the most important things to him. Hector was a fervent servant of the Lord at Iglesia Rios De Agua Viva (Rivers of Life Church) in Cape Coral, Fl. He loved to study, preach and share the word of God. Hector was always so happy to be surrounded by his family; whether it was for a quick visit, to stay a while to watch a movie, or to get a little competitive and play board games, he always made time and loved being in the presence of his family. On the weekends, Hector was notorious for jumping into the car and taking random road trips to nowhere. He was a foodie at heart, a good fried snapper would win him over any day. He loved cooking big meals and always made more than enough to share with others. Hector loved spending time in the yard, growing different fruits and vegetables in his garden. His grandchildren were his world, and he would do anything to ensure they knew how much he loved them. They lovingly nicknamed Hector “Abu”. Now, Abu is resting with his Lord and Savior. We shall forever cherish Hector’s love, kindness and his passionate sharing of the word of God. Until we meet again, rest in peace our loved one.
