ROBERTO GRANADOS

SEPTEMBER 2, 1942-AUGUST 4, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mr. Roberto Granados, a devoted husband, loving father, and dedicated servant to both his family and country. Born on September 2, 1942, Mr. Granados lived a life defined by integrity, loyalty, and unwavering commitment. On August 4, 2024, he peacefully departed this world, mere weeks after the loss of his beloved wife, Maria, their union of 59 years a testament to their enduring love.

Throughout his life, Mr. Granados exemplified selflessness and duty. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy for 28 years, later transitioning to a distinguished career as a U.S. Customs Agent for three decades. His dedication to his profession and his country earned him the respect and admiration of all who had the privilege of working alongside him.

A man of quiet strength and humble demeanor, Mr. Granados found his greatest joy in caring for his family and spending cherished moments with those he held dear. His unwavering presence and comforting guidance will be deeply missed by all who knew him. 

He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Maria Alicia Granados; his parents, Gregorio and Felix Zamora Granados; and his siblings, Emilia Trinidad, and Florentino Granados.

Left to cherish his memory is his son, Roberto Roy (April) Granados; siblings, Susana Soria, Nicolas Granados, and Eliodoro Granados; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
