Ismael C Candelas

Ismael, a proud husband and loving father of five children, dedicated his life to his family. Today, as we mourn his passing, we also celebrate the legacy of love that he leaves behind. Born as the second eldest among thirteen children, Ismael's mission in life was to bring joy to his family.

Throughout his active life, Ismael cultivated a deep passion for soccer. For twenty-five years, he played for multiple teams and achieved several championships along the way. His devotion and commitment on the field were transferable qualities that paired perfectly with his strong work ethic in every aspect of his life. In his chosen vocation, Ismael was recognized as a robust producer, a caring team member, and a compassionate leader.

Yet it was not only in sports and work that Ismael found fulfillment. His understanding of leadership extended beyond professional realms and supported him in living a life of faith. Ismael proudly embraced membership in his church community and found solace in singing with the church choir. Over the past four years, this newfound joy became one of his favorite activities.

To all those who had the pleasure of knowing him, Ismael will be deeply missed. However, he also leaves behind countless examples of how to truly love life and understand its inherent value—the love and peace that reside within a family. May his memory guide us to cherish our loved ones and cultivate meaningful connections.

Today, as we bid farewell to Ismael, let us reflect on the profound impact he had on our lives through his unwavering dedication to family, indomitable spirit on the soccer field, unwavering work ethic, and steadfast faith. May he rest in eternal peace while his legacy continues to inspire generations to come.

SPANISH TRANSLATION OBITUARY

Ismael, un orgulloso esposo y amoroso padre de cinco hijos, dedicó su vida a su familia. Hoy, mientras sentimos su fallecimiento, también celebramos el legado de amor que deja atrás. El segundo mayor entre trece de familia, la misión de Ismael era traer alegría a toda su familia.

A lo largo de su vida activa, Ismael cultivó una profunda pasión por el fútbol. Durante veinticinco años, jugó para varios equipos y logró varios campeonatos en el camino. Su dedicación y compromiso en el campo eran cualidades transferibles que combinaban perfectamente con su fuerte ética de trabajo en todos los aspectos de su vida. En su vocación elegida, Ismael fue reconocido como un productor robusto, un compañero cariñoso y un líder compasivo.

Sin embargo, no fue solo en los deportes y el trabajo donde Ismael encontró satisfacción. Su comprensión del liderazgo se extendía más allá de los ámbitos profesionales y lo apoyó en la vida de fe. Ismael aceptó con orgullo la pertenencia a su comunidad de la iglesia y encontró consuelo en cantar con el coro de la iglesia. En los últimos cuatro años, esta nueva alegría se convirtió en una de sus actividades favoritas.

A todos aquellos que tuvieron el placer de conocerlo, lo extrañaran. Sin embargo, también deja atrás innumerables ejemplos de cómo amar la vida y entender verdaderamente el valor del amor y la paz que residen dentro de una familia. Que su memoria nos guíe a apreciar a nuestros seres queridos y cultivar conexiones significativas.

Hoy, mientras nos despedimos de Ismael, reflexionemos sobre el profundo impacto que tuvo en nuestras vidas a través de su inmensa dedicación a la familia, su espíritu indomable en el campo de fútbol, su admirable ética de trabajo y su firmeza en la fe . Que descanse en paz eternamente  mientras su legado continúa inspirando a las generaciones por venir.
