My grandpa ony❤️❤️🤧 the most amazing personality i know, this still doesn’t seem real at all.  You were heard headed but a joker , not everyone understood your humor but you have the most kind heart and soul. Your smile could brighten up a whole universe. You and grandmas love is what makes me believe in love. Thank you for everything and always making me laugh, i know you wouldn’t want any of us to be sad you’d tell us to suck it up, but you not being here is hard i’m trying to be strong for you. You’ll always be in my heart and mind forever and always, thank you for a amazing childhood 
I love you❤️❤️❤️ -Angelina

The girls at the office will miss your smart comments so much. You always brightened our days when you would come in & visit us.  We are all blessed to have known you & we will never forget you! 
Prayers for mama velez & little ony. 
With love,
The girls at the office

Ony was an honorable soldier who retired from the Army as a great cook and always helping those in need .
Junior was a person who wouldn't hold back giving his opinion or advice. Although he seemed rough and tough on the outside his number one concern was his family he cherish his wife, his kids, grandchildren and most importantly his sisters. His sisters treated him with respect and dignity and most importantly expressing love for their Big Brother. Here is a picture of me and the nephew's hanging out with their UNCLE Junior a time I will never forget.  My final words to Junior 
( Ony was here and now he's gone he left his name to carry on ). His memories will forever be with us Love you Brother you will forever be in our hearts and prayers.

I will miss you grandpa! You will always be with me since the day I was 2! Love you always!

I don’t even know where to start but to say I’m thankful for the time I had with my grandfather. He was strict but it put me into shape to help me to who I’ve become. He always family oriented and made sure everyone was taken care of. It’s hurts knowing you’re gone so unexpectedly. I know you would want us to be strong so I will keep becoming a real man everyday to know you left a great family behind! Rest in peace love you forever 💪

My grandpa such a great human being, you were the best most genuine person I've ever known. My heart is broken and I'm at a loss for words, I know deep down you wouldn't want me to be sad so I'll try to be strong! You were taken to soon you was our wingless Angel now you'll get the ones you deserve to watch over us! I love you always, love your granddaughter Naimah 🕊️💕

Tio Junior
A True Legend

The profound respect everyone had for you is something that you truly don’t see anymore. I will wholeheartedly cherish our times together. I will always remember the way you would play the maracas with your eyes closed, fully immersed in the rhythm. Thank you for being such a strong pillar and example of a hard working man in our family. Always passionate about what and who you loved. I will carry that with me as a husband, father, and overall person . I pray that you are now with Mama and Papa watching down and guiding all of us. You will be sorely missed. The hole you leave behind is wide and deep, as another anchor of the Velez family is gone too soon. I Love you and I will listen for those maracas in every song I hear knowing that’s you playing them.

Dear Pops,

Where do I begin! My heart is crushed and heartbroken! You were like a second Dad to me. You always treated me like your second daughter! The Love I have for you is special… your advice and guidance is one of the reasons I am the Woman I am today! Tenacity in everything I set my mind to and Loyalty to those I Love! You’ve shown me nothing but Love and respect  these past 25 years and I will forever cherish you for that! You were the King to our family and we will forever Miss you Pops! Love you forever!

So many memories growing up with this man. Taught me so many lessons in life growing up. One of the few men in my life to rely on for guidance and direction. So many great and hilarious moments with tio. Always had an answer for anything you could ask and always made sure everyone knew about it. Gone too soon but his memory and likeness is all over our family so he will never be gone or forgotten. 

Am I right or am I right .You can't shit the shitter. 
Words to live by . Love you tio

My grandfather a great man who could make the best breakfast was kind and a great soul may he rest in peace and know he’ll always be loved by his family.

How do you describe someone so unique and special! You cherish the memories, the life lessons whether you agreed or not Ony had a way of making you understand and showing you the only way he know how! With love , strength and dignity! He opened his home and heart to me as my uncle and showed me a path to a new way of life! I will forever be grateful and you will always have a special place in my heart! May you rest in peace and your legacy live on!! Gone too soon but will forever be remembered as legendary soul!! I love you tio! Sending all my love !

My heart is broken right now, I find comfort in knowing that his spirit will always be with me. The lessons he taught, the love he gave—they are a part of me, and I will carry them forward in everything I do. I’m proud to be his daughter .

So how do I say goodbye
To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life?
You gave me my name and the color of your eyes
I see your face when I look at mine
When I couldn't, you always saw the best in me
Right or wrong, you were always on my side 
But I'm scared of what life without you's like
And  You'll always be my closest friend . I saw the way mom looked into your eyes
And I promise you I will make sure she's alright 
Just hold the light, just hold the light.  
Love you pops ! Oj 💔💐🙏🏽👨‍🏭👽🛸

My profound condolences to the family. He was a  devoted family man and a
 proud Army veteran. 
Ony, we will always be thankful for your service and you will surely be missed. Rest in peace

One of a kind.  In the words of Full Metal Jacket.. he was hard but he was fair.  Never gave you the opportunity to get over on him.  One of the smartest men in my life.  An inspiration for us all.  The reason we wanted to join the service,  the reason we wanted to be good father's.  Loved his family unconditionally. I'll never forget the lessons he's taught me, and I'll always remember the good times we had.  I've always been extremely hard headed,  but as I got older I realized everything he did was always for good reason and I exercise this same traits the best I can.  I'll miss you tio...I love you... and give papa and mama a huge hug and kiss from mikey.

Brother,I will miss u dearly,our last dance together at Nickys birthday party, I was your dancing partner always,we will meet again to continue our dance.May you rest in peace beside Mom and Pop.Love u always.

To the greatest man I've ever known my Superman without the cape it was nothing you couldn't do you were a man of results and got the job done no matter what I'll always love you for taking care of Mom the way you told me you would I never doubted you you were taking way too soon so many things unleft to say that I wanted to tell you I know we didn't always see eye to eye but I respect every lesson you ever taught me absorbed every word you told me regarding life lessons you were the greatest man I've ever known the best dad ever the pain that I feel right now I wouldn't wish on anyone but I can hear your voice right now suck it up dry those damn tears man up and that's what I'm going to do believe that I'll still make you proud I  know you're going to be watching over me I love you from the depths of my soul old man I just don't know why you had to leave so soon that's something I'm going to just have to deal with I'll never get over it. But I have great memories and that's all that matters you made those happen I love you dad always and forever your son Davy😪

This was taken this past Father’s Day with his son sad day, but God has him in his memory and the resurrection with his parents. 
Love nicky
