Jorge Luis Torres

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jorge L. Torres Sierra, affectionately known as Papa George, on August 11, 2025, at the age of 86. Born on October 30, 1938, Jorge dedicated his life to his family and his country.

Jorge served honorably in the U.S. Marines before enrolling in the U.S. Army, where he proudly retired as a Sergeant First Class after 27 years as an Army recruiter. He bravely served in Vietnam and as awarded two Bronze Stars for his valor and dedication.

He was one of 12 siblings, a testament to his strength and resilience. Jorge is survived by his beloved wife, Matilde Torres; his children, George Torres and his wife Giselle Torres, Shirley Torres-Young and her husband Paul Young, and Nelson Torres and his wife Maritza Torres; and his cherished grandchildren, George Torres, Alex Torres, Nicholas Young, Noah Torres, Emily Young, Gabriella Torres, and Faythe Torres. Sister Julie Eudales and Brother Victor Eudales. Nephews Kenny Torres, Victor Eudales Jr and David Martinez. Nieces Antonia Cruz, Anna Montalvo and Julianne Eudales.

We will always remember his love of his hobbies. He loved Baseball, hot dogs. He loved to collect coins and stamps. He would always read the daily newspaper and do its crossword puzzles.

He will be laid to rest at Bushnell Florida National Cemetery on September 19, 2025 at 10:30am. Jorge was greatly loved by his family and all who knew him. His unwavering patriotism, kindness, and dedication to his family and friends will be deeply missed. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in his memory to a veterans' organization close to your heart.

Rest in peace, Papa George. Your legacy of love, service, and courage will forever remain in our hearts.
