Gaspar Ortega Verdecia, amado esposo, padre y abuelo, falleció en paz en su residencia el 12 de abril de 2026. Nacido el 6 de enero de 1927 en Cuba, Gaspar vivió una vida llena de amor, dedicación y recuerdos entrañables que permanecerán para siempre en el corazón de todos los que lo conocieron.
La trayectoria de Gaspar abarcó casi un siglo, durante el cual construyó un legado definido no solo por los años vividos, sino por la profundidad de sus relaciones y la calidez de su espíritu. Casado con su querida esposa Ramona durante extraordinarios 74 años, su unión fue un testimonio de amor duradero y compañerismo. Juntos formaron una familia grande y llena de vida, bendecida con ocho hijos que crecieron bajo su cuidado, guía y afecto incondicional. Esta familia amorosa se expandió aún más con muchos nietos que trajeron aún más alegría y risas a la vida de Gaspar.
Hombre de placeres sencillos pero profundos, Gaspar encontraba gran alegría en los sonidos y ritmos tradicionales de su herencia cubana. Apreciaba profundamente las décimas del punto guajiro, esos hermosos cantos poéticos del campo cubano que reflejaban sus raíces culturales y su amor por la narración. Complementando estas pasiones musicales, también disfrutaba de los gallos, cuyo canto vigoroso quizá reflejaba la vitalidad y energía que lo acompañaron a lo largo de su vida.
Familiares, amigos y todos aquellos que compartieron la vida de Gaspar están invitados a honrar su memoria durante el velorio el 17 de abril de 2026, de 5:00 p.m. a 10:00 p.m., en Vista Funeral Home, ubicado en 5755 NW 142nd St, Miami Lakes, Florida. El servicio junto a la tumba se llevará a cabo el 18 de abril de 2026, comenzando a las 12:30 p.m., en Vista Memorial Gardens, 14200 Northwest 57th Avenue, Miami Lakes, Florida. Estas reuniones brindarán momentos para la reflexión, el recuerdo y el consuelo compartido de la comunidad mientras sus seres queridos le dan el último adiós.
