Ivan’s passions in life were his family, traveling, working and helping others.

Ivan was an amazing father, he made everyday count and made thousands of memories with his kids. His children have memories from every place they visited together. From snorkeling in Hawaii, Pear Harbor, to the Statue of Liberty and other places he traveled with this family.

Ivan loved vacationing at the beach, traveling and making memories. He was the life of the party and always had a cold beer in his hand.

He always had a smile on his face and was ready to help everyone who needed help. He was one of the hardest working men out there. Ivan, along with his wife started their business MTS which was Ivan’s pride and joy. Ivan was a loving husband and father. He made sure his wife and kids felt his love and always protected them. Ivan was a great son to his mother Imelda and his second mother Tita. The time he spent with his father Felix was one of his best memories. He attended church with his family every Sunday and loved to hear the word of God. He went from listening to Tupac to listening to worship every night before going to sleep. He was passionate about his Faith and never forgot where he came from. The struggles, the lows, the good, the bad, that’s what made him who he was. He was authentic and unique in every way.

Ivan will be missed by many, he was not just a Family man, he was great friend, homie, coworker, great cousin, brother, compadre you name it.

His kids and wife are happy and thankful to God he was part of their life. We’re grateful for all the memories and the love. Those memories will keep us going.
