Jaime Cruz Quitania was the son of a US Navy WWII veteran who followed in his father’s footsteps and served in the US Navy for 21 years. He retired from the military and continued to work in the US Government as a civil servant for 17 more years.  

Jaime was born to Restituto Calzo Quitania and Anastacia Villanueva Cruz on January 22, 1945 in Alominos, Pangasinan, Philippines.  He has one younger sister, Marjorie Quitania Bland of Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Jaime was married to Librada Velasco in 1971, and on Sept. 25 this year they would have reached their 47th anniversary.  They both have two sons, Joey and Robert Quitania.  As he was in the military, Jaime and the family have lived in Texas, Virginia, and California.  He deployed several times on Navy ships to WestPac.  He lived in San Diego County for 40 years and resided in Del Mar Heights.  

Jaime loved sports.  He played jai alai in his youth, later tennis, and was an avid golfer.  He also loved to watch sports and was always watching golf, football, baseball, and basketball on the weekends.  He was a Padres fan, Laker fan, and also a Charger fan while they were still in San Diego.

Jaime enjoyed being with his family and friends and also liked traveling and going on cruises.  Jaime was resound in his Catholic faith, was a member of the Cursillo, and also traveled to the Holy Land and Vatican City.  He was very health-conscious and loved to cook.  He was always the one to serve and prepare food for family gatherings and events.

The Quitania Family would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and support during this time.  To those near and far, thank you for attending his services. Thank you so much for the love and friendship you gave to him during his lifetime. He was so blessed to know you all and valued his friendships very much.  We truly appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts.  RIP Jaime Cruz Quitania, We forever love and miss you!!!
