Elias's obituary

Elias Roman Figueroa, a devoted husband, father, friend, and man of faith passed away on April 12, 2023. Born on February 12, 1967, in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, Elias’ adventurous spirit, coupled with his unwavering loyalty to his loved ones, made him a beacon of light in the lives of those who knew him.

He will be deeply missed by his children, Jeneczka Sailee Roman and Yamil Elias Roman, as well as his son-in-law, Richard Rapp, and future daughter-in-law, Christine Gagnon.
