Ismael was a man of strong character who carried himself with a toughness that those around him knew well. Behind that strong exterior, however, was a humble man with a deeply sensitive heart. He was hardworking and found satisfaction in staying busy, whether working or simply running errands.
Though Ismael was not particularly sociable, he had a heart for helping others and could be counted on whenever someone was in need. He enjoyed carne asada with corn azadi, attended church, and lived his life in his own genuine and unmistakable way. Those closest to Ismael simply loved him for exactly who he was.
Ismael leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Anastasia Camilo de Jesus; his children, Raul Martinez, Sergio Camilo, Daughter; Karina Barrios, and Yesenia Alvarez; his daughters-in-law, Maria, Erika; his sons-in-law, Damian, Eduardo; his grandchildren, Yarely, Wendy, Yamileth, Camila, Sarah, Bryan, Jonathan, Christian, and Diego; his uncle, Jose Hernandez; along with other relatives and loved ones who will cherish his memory.
He was preceded in death by his son, Enrique Aguilar Camilo; his uncle, Epifanio; and his grandmother, Maria Francisca.
