Octavio Monroy Reyes

Octavio was a loving father to his children and a devoted husband. He loved to work in the horse stables where he worked for 20 plus years. He loved to take care of the foals, the mothers, plating flowers, and eating delicious food.

Octavio would always be outside working on his car, trying to add another cool attachment to it, planting roses/ flowers, and talking to neighbors. What he truly loved was going to the Englishtown flea market with his wife and daughter and a hot cup of coffee in his hand. We would always go on the weekends and buy things for his Chevy truck.

Octavio was the most caring and loving father. He taught his children how to ride a bike and rollerblade. Since he worked with horses- he knew how to braid hair and would always braid his daughter’s hair. He loved to dance at family parties.

Octavio will be remembered for his silly personality, his cooking, and how loving he was to his wife and children. He will be truly missed by everyone that had the pleasure of meeting him.

Octavio era un padre cariñoso con sus hijos y un esposo devoto. Le encantaba trabajar en los establos de caballos, donde trabajó durante más de 20 años. Le encantaba cuidar a los caballitos , a las madres, plantar flores y disfrutar de la deliciosa comida.

Octavio siempre estaba afuera arreglando su auto, intentando añadirle un accesorio genial, plantando rosas y flores, y charlando con los vecinos. Lo que realmente le encantaba era ir al mercadillo de Englishtown con su esposa e hija y una taza de café caliente en la mano. Siempre íbamos los fines de semana a comprar cosas para su camioneta Chevy.

Octavio era un padre sumamente cariñoso y amoroso. Enseñó a sus hijos a andar en bicicleta y patinar. Como trabajaba con caballos, sabía trenzar el cabello y siempre le trenzaba el de su hija. Le encantaba bailar en las fiestas familiares.

Octavio será recordado por su personalidad chistoso, su carnitas, y lo cariñoso que era con su esposa e hijos. Todos los que tuvieron el placer de conocerlo lo extrañarán muchísimo.
