Celestino Alberto Laporte - Suliveras' Obituary
Celestino Alberto Laporte Suliveras, amado esposo, padre, abuelo, bisabuelo y tatarabuelo, nació el 10 de julio de 1933 en Puerto Rico. Su vida fue una historia tejida con amor, fortaleza, trabajo incansable y una fe profunda que lo acompañó en cada etapa de su vida.
Celestino fue un hombre de valores firmes y corazón grande. Dedicó su vida a cuidar, proveer y proteger a los suyos. Con su espíritu trabajador y su presencia constante, se convirtió en un pilar para su familia: alguien en quien siempre se podía contar. Sin importar las circunstancias, se mantuvo firme, y siempre estuvo presente cuando más se necesitaba.
Se sentía especialmente orgulloso de la familia que formó. Fue esposo y el amado padre de ocho hijos, un abuelo lleno de ternura para veintiún nietos, un bisabuelo orgulloso de veintiséis bisnietos, y tuvo la bendición de ser tatarabuelo de 1 tataranieta. Su amor era profundo y constante, y su mayor alegría era ver a su familia unida—compartiendo, riendo y apoyándose con ese cariño que solo se construye con los años.
Quienes lo conocieron lo recordarán no solo por todo lo que hizo por su familia, sino también por esas frases que se quedaron viviendo en el corazón de todos, reflejando su sentido del humor y su manera única de mirar la vida: “La ciencia y la inteligencia,” “Lo mío viene de arriba,” y “Todo cae por su propio peso.” Y con mucha ternura, siempre recordaremos cómo llamaba a sus nietos con tanto orgullo y cariño: “mis quimpitos.” Hoy, esas palabras siguen resonando como un eco familiar que nos acompaña, recordándonos su fe, su carácter y su esencia.
Celestino falleció el 17 de enero de 2026, en St. Petersburg, Florida, a los 92 años. Su recuerdo vivirá siempre en nuestros corazones.
