Mr. Porfirio Carrillo

In the 1961, Porfirio Carrillo met his wife, Georgina Zaldivar, on the steps of the immigration building in New York City, where they both were working to bring their families to the United States. One can say it became their mission in life - to make a better life for their respective families.

As a young boy, Porfirio was known as an easy going, happy-go-lucky child with a reputation for being a prankster and marching to the beat of his own drum. He had a beautiful voice and sang with the church choir as a child. He also had a passion for physical fitness and in his senior years, won many medals with the Miami Runners Club.

Porfirio was a man of many talents and spent most of his career as an aviation mechanic. He was a lifelong learner even becoming a Certified Personal Trainer after retirement.

Porfirio Carrillo will be known for being a kind and gentle soul, a man of deeply spiritual and intellectual convictions.

Porfirio Carrillo is survived by his only son Marco; his grandchildren; Lauren, Christen and Alec and his surviving siblings; Tulio, Americana and Arturo as well as his nieces and nephews.

His legacy is one of faith, love and gratitude. He never deviated from being his authentic self. His beautiful spirit lives on and his love remains alive in the hearts he touched.

Rest in Peace and Soar in Power.
