Gilberto Vera, Jr

It is with heavy hearts, and sadness that we announce the passing of Gilbert Vera Jr., known affectionately to all as Gil, Tito and Daddy. Gilbert was a man whose laughter was as contagious as his generosity. He could light up a room with his wit and warmth, leaving a trail of smiles wherever he went. Born on March 2nd, 1983 in the heart of Los Angeles.

Gilberts life was a vibrant melody that echoed through his actions, conversations, and interactions of those around him and beyond until his passing on July 1, 2024. Gilbert was the life of every party, and if parties had a hall of fame, he’d be the first inductee. His heart was so big it could have its own zip code, and he was the type of guy who’d give you the shirt off his back—even if it was his favorite shirt. His Yankee shirts were his favorite though. Speaking of which, he was a die-hard sports fan. Yankees, Dodgers, Lakers —you name it, he never missed a game. He'd cheer and show so much excitement with the best of them, and if armchair coaching were a professional sport, he'd have won the championship every season. Sports was definitely his passion. 

Gilbert's legacy is not just in the stories that will be told or the memories that will be cherished, but in the laughter that will echo in the hearts of those who knew him. He was a loving Son, Brother, Husband and Father. He was a one-man comedy show, a friend who always had your back, and a Father whose love was as boundless as his humor. So here's to Gilbert Vera Jr., a man who was so greatly loved and lived life with the volume turned all the way up. While the final curtain may have fallen, the encore will continue in the lives he touched, the people the jokes he told, and the love he shared. Always in our heart, please share a laugh, and remember Gilbert, his tune will play on forever in our hearts.

Con gran pesar y tristeza anunciamos el fallecimiento de Gilbert Vera Jr., conocido cariñosamente por todos como Gil, Tito y Daddy. Gilbert era un hombre cuya risa era tan contagiosa como su generosidad. Podía iluminar una habitación con su ingenio y calidez, dejando un rastro de sonrisas dondequiera que fuera. Nacido el 2 de marzo de 1983 en el corazón de Los Ángeles.

La vida de Gilbert era una melodía vibrante que resonaba a través de sus acciones, conversaciones e interacciones de quienes lo rodeaban y más allá hasta su fallecimiento el 1 de julio de 2024. Gilbert era la vida de cada fiesta, y si las fiestas tuvieran un salón de la fama, él seria el primer miembro. Su corazón era tan grande que podría tener su propio código postal, y era el tipo de persona que te daría la camiseta que llevaba puesta, incluso si fuera su camiseta favorita. Sin embargo, sus camisetas yanquis eran sus favoritas. Hablando de eso, era un fanático acérrimo de los deportes. Yankees, Dodgers, Lakers... lo que sea, nunca se perdió un juego. Animaría y mostraría mucho entusiasmo con los mejores, y si el entrenamiento de sillón fuera un deporte profesional, habría ganado el campeonato cada temporada. Definitivamente el deporte era su pasión. 

El legado de Gilbert no está sólo en las historias que se contarán o los recuerdos que se conservarán, sino en las risas que resonarán en los corazones de quienes lo conocieron. Era un amoroso Hijo, Hermano, Esposo y Padre. Era un programa de comedia unipersonal, un amigo que siempre te respaldaba y un padre cuyo amor era tan ilimitado como su humor. Brindemos por Gilbert Vera Jr., un hombre que fue tan amado y vivió la vida con el volumen al máximo. Si bien el telón final puede haber caído, el bis continuará en las vidas que tocó, las personas, los chistes que contó y el amor que compartió. Siempre en nuestro corazón, comparte una risa y recuerda a Gilbert, su melodía sonará para siempre en nuestros corazones.
