Pedro Cabrera's Obituary
Pedro Cabrera, our beloved father, passed away peacefully at home on the afternoon of October 8th, at the age of 71. He was surrounded by his family who remained his pride and joy til his very last days. He is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Noris Cabrera, son Pedro Cabrera III, daughter Emory Salley,
son-in-law Christopher Salley, and his granddaughter Olivia Salley. He is also survived by his siblings, Jacobo and Esther Cabrera, Hector and Alexis Cabrera, Juan and Judy Cabrera, Rafael and Isabel Cabrera, and Dilcia and Juan Garabote.
Our father was a man of immense wisdom and commitment to his church.
He dedicated his life to the Lord and his role as a Pastor was his most honorable calling. He had such a contagious spirit, a giving heart, and a true commitment to serve. He could turn anyone's sorrows into smiles. His infectious positivity was motivating, inspiring, and he always encouraged those around him to "keep the faith."
He was a devoted husband to our mother, Noris Cabrera for over 50 years, and caring for her was his life mission. He loved her from the tender age of 10 and there was never a time when he stopped showing up for her. Together they created a beautiful life and they shared their love for God and for each other with all those they loved.
As a father, he taught us the meaning of commitment and the value of family.
He was an exceptional father. He was part of all things and never failed to support and love us in times of need. He led by example, and always taught us to see the good in others. Our father was pure, and he impacted our lives in ways that are indescribable. We are so proud to be his children.
In 2018, our father became an Abuelo. There are no words to describe how much Olivia meant to him. He adored her, loved her, and enjoyed teaching her about so many different things. He was there when she came home from the hospital, he was there when she was sick, he was there on those sleepless nights, he was there when she tried her first food, he was there on her first day of school, he was there for all of it. Olivia changed him. We saw another layer of greatness in our father and he will always be a source of light in her life.
Pedro, our sweet father, will leave behind many adoring friends and loved ones. Although he will be sorely missed here on earth, we find comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering, present with the Lord, and within our hearts forever. HE IS HOME!
