There are few words to express the deep pain and sorrow of losing my father, Celso Quinonez. He was a generous, loving, and boisterous person who lit up any room. He was a father, husband, brother, uncle, and friend.

He was born on July 28, 1972 in his hometown of Durango, Mexico. He lived a portion of his life in Los Angeles, CA and spent 30 years in Washington, DC and Silver Spring, MD. 

My family and I appreciate everyone's heartfelt messages and condolences. Until we meet again Dad. 

I knew Celso for over 10 years, and I would see him on almost a daily basis at the storage.  If he hadn’t seen me come for a while, he would check to make sure I was okay.  He helped me out countless times as a customer, and was a very kind friend.  We would often share different foods, and he introduced me to the Prickly Pear.  He was very interested in different cultures and cuisines.  We would exchange many pictures and videos from family cabin getaways.  We both shared a passion for campfires and barbeques.  

As others have mentioned, he would always send Fathers Day messages and would tell me to wish my mom, wife, and sister a Happy Mothers’ Day from him.  He would always ask me how my children were doing.  He was a very thoughtful, genuine, and generous person.  He will truly be missed.  I ask God to grant his family guidance, patience, and strength to get through these difficult times.       

It is hard to put into words the level of appreciation and respect Celso enjoyed among his co-workers. His infectious sense of humor, easygoing personality, and truly unique and genuine style will be missed by so many. Recently, I found myself back in a district with Celso after an after an unexpected change. Following the first team call, Celso immediately called me to welcome me back, ask how my family was, offer words of encouragement, and of course to thank me for doing my job. He was truly one-of-a-kind. Rest easy my friend. You will be missed by so many. My sincere condolences to his family during this difficult time.

 I will always be greatful for Celso who always had a bottle of hot sauce ready whenever i had to chance to visit or even talk.  It was always a smile every week to hear him tell everyone "thank you for doing your job"... and I'll never forget that even when we were no longer in the same district, Celso would always text me to wish me a "Happy Fathers Day" for me with my girls... you are a great man Celso, and I will miss you dearly my friend. ~ Phil

Celso was a long time friend over 25 years . Best Freind to my Dad Chano.  He would always encourage me to do my best and kept my family in his heart.  This picture was in August 2022 when we went to get my dads things from DC I’m glad we got to spend sometime with him and catch up a little before we headed to Texas. He will be greatly missed . Our condolences to his lovely wife Monique and his family . 

I never got the chance to meet Celso, but we spoke several times on the phone. He seemed like a sweet person, and will be missed. He was always, willing to help when out when I needed it. 

Celso was always full of energy and great spirit.   I will never foget when we would talk at work about the number goal at Extra Space was "To Get the Rental!"  He would tell everyone this phrase,whether it was in person or on a video call, and everyone would remember the "Celso Phrase" of get the rental.  It was an example of how much of a leader Celso was to so many people in his career.

My husband and my friend.  We shared many memories and many experiences. May he be with the angels!
