Tony Velasquez Obituary

Dad, I know you're in Heaven now. We have so many memories that will always be ours. Dad you were loved very much by all who knew you. You were a great dad, the best grandfather, and the perfect brother. We will never forget you and all the things you've done for us. We love you and will always miss you. Love Shirley, Justin and Velasquez family My Journey: I received and brought joy, happiness, and love to many in my life.I had many people I dearly loved, many true friends. I received many smiles as I turned tragedy into gladness. I worked long and hard in the cold, in the heat. I was a man of few words, choosing to let my actions speak for me. I knew that there was a solution for every problem, sometimes two or three. I had many trials and won many battles. I was very slow to anger, knowing that a solution could be found. I made the best with what I was given. Remember me with a smile, I will always be near. You will always be missed.

Man Grandpo seems so long since I have seen you or heard your voice. God it would be so nice just to see you again one day. I cried for many days and as I write I feel like I'm crying inside too. Your smile that I saw when we were together made me feel the greatest. God called you to the most beautiful place, that I know will once again meet up with you and call it my home too. Theres so much that you have taught me by not even saying anything at all you were one of the only people that were able to do that for me. I live with the thought that some day we will be together again. Grandpo when I got my GED you were so proud of me. I wish I was a mechanic like you,I am so greatful YOUR blood flows through my veins.You told me things with out saying them once again I know you meant what you said and I appreciate EVERYTHING you taught me. I am a man of my word so if you could here me speaking about what you and I talked about you would know exactly what Im speaking on. There are many nights I still wish you could call but thats something I must come to understand, God will call me to you and for now live a life to be strong like you always have been. I think about the time we spent talking and it means the world to me. I love you more then any man that walked this earth and I know you will be on my mind till I'm with you again. I miss you I can't help the way I fee but living without you in my life has been so hard Grandpo. Well I want you to know I'm making the best of my life and have you in my heart and prayers always. I LOVE YOU GRANDPO....FOREVER WITH ALL MY LOVE YOUR GRANDSON, JUSTIN~

DAD I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ALL THE TIME!

Grandpo,

It's taken me a long time for me to do thing entry, because to me it was the last step in a long and painful process of letting you go. And I guess I never wanted to finish. Because I believed I would be losing you.

But in the last few months, I have done a lot of things to keep me busy and active. But at the end of each day, I was still a little bit....... empty.

So I have come to realize that even though I wasn't seeing you drive through the neighborhood every once in awhile, you are always and forever will be, with me.

If only I can bring back the days that I could see your little legs from under some guys car in the backyard. Knowing you were doing God knows what to it.

The one time I for sure, will never, ever, forget, is the night that you and I and a couple of other people went to see WWE RAW at the World Arena. Through the entire show you had a smile and just could not stop talking about what a blast you were having. Even tough we were practically in the nosebleed section.

Grandpo I love you so much and even now as I am writing this, it is still hard to finish each sentence and describe how much I love, miss, and cherish you.

So please forgive me that it's taken this long for me to let this out. But just know that it was very hard. I know that you are always with me and watching everything I do. No matter what.

I love you grandpo, so much. I miss you and I can't wait till the day we meet again.

Your grandson, Joseph Martinez

Grandpo it's me Justin I miss you. Fathers Day was sad your my grandpo, my best friend you were everything and more that I could ever want in a grandpo. You gave me so many memories. When I was little and you came home and gave me a puppy and all he did was jump on me and all I did was cry. Then the next day the lady from down the street came over and asked if you had her puppy and you said yes it was in our yard. So she wanted it back. So you got the puppy and gave it to her. Then you told me we didn't want that dog anyways. Grandpo your the best. I love you and think about you every day. You would always tell me "see you in the movies kid" well "see you in the movies grandpo". I love you and miss you.

~Dear Dad,
Well todays Fathers Day and the first one without you.I wish you were here. I want to say Happy Fathers Day to you. I can't tell you enough how great of a Father you were. Remember Dad when we were all getting ready to go out and eat and were sitting there waiting 'cause you said you had to get your coat. Then you walked in the living room where we were waiting and stretched out your arms and it was so small the sleaves went half way up your arms and you said to her " You washed the s*** out of this coat" and she said that's not even yours thats's Johnnies coat and we all laughed and you said "Oh Sorry I thought it was mine it looks just like the one I have" Johnnie was just little then. Dad there will never be another Father like you . I Miss You and Love You~ WISH YOU WERE HERE ALL THE TIME~YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~Grandpo here's one of my favorite pictures~I love you your Grandson Justin~

~Grandpo today is Fathers Day and I really, really miss you. You always made me feel special. I would love just to call you right now and hear your voice. You kept my spirits high. You always listened no matter what. You were always there for me. I remember when I was just little and you came home and said you got me this little puppy and all he did was jump all over me and all I did was cry. Then the next day the lady down the street came over and asked if you had her puppy and you said well it was in our yard so I gave it to my grandson. Then she wanted it back so you got the puppy and told her here's your dog! Then told me we didn't want that dog sh*t*n all over anyways. It was funny. Then when I turned around 13yrs old you came home with another dog and said Justin we're going to get a reward for this dog, then you asked me where's that little sob at! Me and you looked all over for him, then you said now he got away. No reward for us. it was so funny. Grandpo I truely miss you. Life will never be the same. You'll always be the greatest Grandpo ever! I love you. I have so many memories of you. Well remember how you always would say "see you in the movies kid". Well see you in the movies Grandpa I MISS YOU!

~Dad me and Justin miss you. This hurts so much knowing your gone. It is a pain that hurts physically and emotionally, our stomach hurts, our hearts are broke, our mind is always thinking is this real are you really gone from us. I wish we could wake up and it would all be a terrible nightmare. We wish you were still here forever. This is pain that hurts all the time. I go to sleep crying and wake up crying for you. Oh Dad I wish you didn't have to go. I know you didn't want to leave us we saw the look in your eyes we know you weren't afraid to die but you were afraid to leave us we will never forget that look ever. I am sure you saw the look in our eyes we were so afraid and sad we were going to be without you. If there was something we could have done so you wouldn't have gone we would have done it anything. If it was up to you Dad I know you would have never left us. God wanted you home. We are very thankful to him that we had you as our Dad and Grandpa some people never have someone so special, loving, caring, fun and precious in their lives and we did we had you. We miss you and wish you were here.
With all our love,
Shirley and Justin

For my brother Tony Velasquez; My dear brother Tony I cant help myself in putting this in your guest book.It doesnt say any thing about condolences. In my heart I needed to do this... A flower is a simple thing that makes the world go around and my tree has made many branches that blossomed into MY Family Tree. The moment my branches spread it made me feel like I HAD A TREASURE. And beautiful branches followed, my sons my daughters were made like me including my grandchildren. I cherish all my happy moments,They made a fine cushion. God gave me memories so that I might have roses. I would not go back in time for anything in the world. I have no regrets.Ive made it a rule of life never to look back and have regrets.We all have suspence from day to day,hour to hour; In other words Iam the hero,I have lived and I have been fulfilled with all the branches that spread from MY FAMILY TREE.I recognized what I had and I never sold it short. I look at my children not only as work or duty but UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.It was interesting and it was challenging, in a world that demanded the best that I could give them.Going forward Going backwards whatever it took.When we do the impossible we realize we are special people.I have fought and kicked and festered and I have prayed and cried myself to the point of existing. I didnt feel any better or stronger then anyone else important,I love my children as much as I can give myself and its like finding a fortune. We need to take a breath, step back and remind yourself[ Who actually is in charge of your life]. My eyes have seen much but are not weary.My ears have heard much but they thirst for happiness. I wanted a perfect ending..I wanted to be a father to all my children.NOW I learned the hard way,I took a moment and made the best of it without knowing what was going to happen next. When I stand before God at the end of my life.,I would hope that I havent a single bit of talent left and can say.'I used up everything you gave me'. From your sister Teresina[Teddy] Velasquez

Hey Uncle Tony...wow I still can't believe you'r gone. When I heard that you were sick and was not doing well I really couldnt believe it because thats not how I remember you..Everytime I got to go up to visit you, you was always out in the back working on someones car or truck lol it was hard to get you to come inside because you were so into working on cars, but when you did come in, I always remebered you comming in with a botton up shirt with the arms rolled up and your hands all dirty from the cars lol you would sit down talk a little bit and then you were back to work...geez how I miss those days...Your were a soft spoken person that listened and didnt talk much..I also remember when I would see you I would hug you and put my hand on your head and tell dang Uncle are you shrinking lol you would just laugh and tell me "I think so" well Uncle I really do miss you and I love you...Im not going to say goodbye because I will see you again, so for now goodnite Uncle...
