Feliciano Flores, Pablo

-

Pablo passed away in his home in Bristol, CT from natural causes on April, 29th, 2022. Born on February 1, 1960, in Juncos, Puerto Rico, Pablo would be described as a family man with a personalit­y that was almost as big as his heart. After moving to the states in his early adult life, he resided first in Hartford, CT, then New Britain, after finally moving to Bristol, his last place of residence. He

worked for Sanson Inc., as a tractor-trailer driver and carpenter for over twenty years, before the company closed its doors in the mid 2000's. He was a jack of all trades. In his free time, he enjoyed spending time with his "compadres" fishing, barbequing, fixing cars, or doing handyman work. There was never a dull moment when he was in the vicinity. His jokes can crack a mime,

and his humor was infectious. He enjoyed cooking "alligator steak" and "kangaroo burgers" and watching action movies. His final place of employment was Mama Luke's Restaurant in Farmington, CT, where he held a dishwashin­g position. Most would describe him as having a heart of gold and being a gentle giant. He was always willing to listen, and learn something new, that he could teach to anyone else willing to learn. His grandkids found great humor in his jokes and catchphras­es such as, "See you later Crocodile" and would

sometimes refer to him as "Dr. Homer." He will be missed dearly, for his presence created light in the darkest of rooms. He is predecease­d by his wife, Mercedes, and nephew Gabriel. He is survived by his brother Juan, his beloved and devoted girlfriend of 24 years, Shizuko Jacques, 7 children; his daughters, Emily and Marlin Santiago, Maryann Jacques-gonzalez and his sons Pablo Jr. and Juan Pablo Feliciano, Raphael Olivares and Thomas Jacques; 21 grandkids; Israel Jr, Fumiko and Catarina Lopez, Emiko, Ann Marie and Domingo N.T. Gonzalez, Sayuri and Thomas Richard Jacques, Christophe­r Labarge, Samil and Nisa Casiano, Zayan Santiago, Janzel Diaz Santiago, Mercedes and Jaelyza Ellison, Xzavier Ortiz, and Mikaela, Joshua and Jacob Feliciano, Eric and Sorel Olivares and his 8 greatgrand­kids; Nathaniel and Israel Jacob Lopez, Ahmya Prindle, Grayson Sperry, Emily Hoffler, and Michiyo, Joziah and Hector Jr Vega. Services will be held at De Leon Funeral Home in Hartford, CT on Thursday, May 5th, 2022 from 9-11am, followed by burial at St. Benedict's Cemetary in Bloomfield immediatel­y after, and a lunch celebratio­n at Mama Luke's Restaurant in Farmington.
