Nelson Ureña

Nelson A. Ureña Cepeda, de 65 años, triste pero pacíficamente falleció en su casa debido a un cáncer cerebral el 11 de diciembre de 2023. Nació en Moca, República Dominicana, hijo de Olimpia Cepeda y José "Papo" Ureña. Nelson era hermano de Mabel, Rafael "Ñin," Leonor "Lolo," Ramón "Papi," Domingo "León" (qepd), Yovannia "Yova," y Yuderka "Yudy." La familia era lo más importante para Nelson. Frecuentemente, se le encontraba a Nelson arreglando algo en casa (que tal vez no necesitaba ser reparado), mecaniquiando, jugando dominó con su familia o disfrutando de su pasatiempo favorito: pescar con su esposa. Fue un empresario respetado y querido, que veía a sus clientes como su familia extendida. Será recordado por su humor, su estilo de baile único y, lo más importante, por su lealtad y su gran corazón. Por encima de todo, el mayor orgullo y alegría de Nelson fue la vida que formó con su esposa, Carmen Tejada. Juntos criaron a sus tres mayores tesoros, sus hijos Carolina, Nelson R. y Patricia. También le sobreviven sus yernos Edgar y Meagan, y sus adorados nietos Edgar A. y Samantha.

Nelson A. Ureña Cepeda, 65, sadly but peacefully passed away at home from brain cancer on December 11, 2023. Nelson was born in Moca, Dominican Republic to Olimpia Cepeda and Jose "Papo" Ureña. Nelson was a sibling to Mabel, Rafael "Ñin," Leonor "Lolo," Ramon "Papi," Domingo "Leon" (decd), Yovannia "Yova," and Yuderka "Yudy." Family was most important to Nelson. You would often find him fixing something at home (that may not need fixing), repairing a car, playing dominoes with his family, or enjoying his favorite pastime, fishing with his wife. Nelson was a respected and beloved business owner, who viewed his clients as his extended family. He will be remembered for his humor, unique dance style, and most importantly for his loyalty and big heart. Above all, Nelson's greatest pride and joy was the life he built with his wife, Carmen Tejada. They together raised their three greatest treasures, their children, Carolina, Nelson R., and Patricia. He is also survived by his children-in-law Edgar and Meagan, and his adored grandchildren Edgar A. and Samantha.
