Obituary
Israel Marrero
May 20, 1956-Sep 17, 2019
Israel Marrero, 63, was granted his angel wings on September 17, 2019 in Orlando, Florida surrounded by his wife and children, as his precious soul was ushered through the portals of heaven to await the reunion of those left behind. Israel was born in the Bronx, NY to Antonio Marrero and Candida Rodriguez on May 20, 1956. He married the love of his life Maria Teresa Marrero on May 13, 1988.
Israel attended school in the Bronx. He moved his family to Orlando, Florida on July 6, 1996 and began a job at Clegg & Son Custom Sets and Props. He loved building sets and worked on several construction sites as a manager.
Israel was spiritually grounded, loved his God and can be heard praying at any time during the day. His favorite words were, “GIVE GOD A CHANCE…”. He loved to sing and had a beautiful voice. Israel was all about family and was very involved with his children. He loved the beach, enjoyed bowling, watching TV, and playing with his dog, Mission. Israel was a beautiful man inside out with an infectious smile and his kind, compassionate spirit. Israel understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. He was preceded in death by his mother, Candida Rodriguez Torres; brother, Antonio Marrero; sister, Gloria Marrero-Velilla; and his sister, Rose Marie Marrero.
He leaves to cherish his memories: his loving wife, Maria Teresa Marrero; his children, Diana, Marc, Carina, Desiree, Israel Elias, Talisa Ryela; Grandchildren, Anthony Batista, Ariana Batista, Aleixs, Leila, Desi; father, Antonio Marrero; Siblings; Mario Marrero (Ruth), Candida-Marrero Knorr (George), Angela Marrero, Luzdivina Marrero, Debbie, iris, William, Joseph, Lydia, Richard, Rosita and Elizabeth; sister-in law, Maria D. Cruz; brother in law, Pastor Higinio “Nino” Velilla, Sr; and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.
I want to give a sincere thanks to those who participated in Israel’s Memorial on September 21st, 2019. Thanks to everyone for the flowers and all the shared memories about Israel. He was loved and will be missed by many. Israel’s wishes was to be cremated.

We used to love this time of year, but now everything I see reminds me just how much I wish that you were back here with me. I am here listening to The Bee Gees music. Remember how much we loved listening to their music. The difference is you are not here and I can’t stop crying because I miss you so much. MERRY CHRISTMAS, You are always in my heart and will never be forgotten.
your wife, Maria T Marrero
Another Thanksgiving without you. We miss you so very much. Diana is cooking the Thanksgiving dinner this year. I wish you were here getting the turkey ready. Sometimes I feel buried within myself, I don’t think I could ever be the same again, I don’t live life, I just exist in it. Love you always. Your wife, Maria T Marrero
I can shed my tears because you are gone, I choose to smile because you lived. I can close my eyes and pray you will come back, I choose to open my eyes and see all you have left for me. I can feel my heart empty because I can’t see you, I choose to be full of the life we shared. I can turn my back on tomorrow and live yesterday, I choose to be happy tomorrow because of yesterday. I can only remember you are gone, I choose to cherish your memory and let it live on. I can cry, close my eyes, and feel empty, I choose what you wanted me to do smile, never forget you, open my heart, love and go on. Will love you forever, your wife Maria T Marrero

Every person has to die one day and
It’s the bitter truth of life. My eye fill
