Moises Hopkins Colon

Moises Hopkins Colon, born January 28, 1947, in New York, passed away on January 5, 2026, at the age of 78, surrounded by his family. Moises was married to his loving wife, Luisa Lopez Colon. He was preceded in death by his parents, Pablo and Rose Colon, and his sister, Rachel Colon Cummings.

After graduating from high school, Moises proudly served in the United States Navy, including service during the Vietnam War. Following his military service, he joined the Miami-Dade Police Department, where he built a distinguished career and retired after 35 years of dedicated service.

Moises's true passion was karate martial arts. He became a master in Shorin-Ryu Karate and was widely known and respected as Sensei Hanchi Colon. His teachings, discipline, and spirit live on through his students, who continue to pass on his lessons and carry forward his lasting legacy.

Moises is survived by his sons, his grandchildren, his great-grandchildren, his brother and sister, and his daughters-in-law. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and great-nephews.
