Obituary

Ernesto Perez

September 2, 1942 ~ October 24, 2025

With deep love and sadness, we announce the passing of Ernesto Perez, 83, who was born in Gurabo, Puerto Rico, and made his home in Newburgh, New York. He left us on October 24, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of strength, hard work, honesty, and devotion to his family.

Ernesto worked for many years for the Newburgh Enlarged School District as a custodian, a role in which he took great pride. After retiring, he enjoyed a well-deserved life of peace and happiness alongside his beloved wife, Carmen Perez.

He was the son of Celestino Perez and Maria Garcia Piñero, and the brother of Marcelino, David, Justo, Miguel, Pedro, Sonia, and Diana, and the late Ruben, Juan & Alfonso Perez.

In remembrance of his loving children Margarita, Nilva(Edson Sr), Shirley(Afonso), and Ernesto Perez Jr.; and his cherished grandchildren Ariana (Ellis) Bullock, Edson & Kaley Ortiz, Luis, Ileana, and Saragely Perez, Nore and Ellis Jr. Bullock, and Edson Ortiz III.

Ernesto found joy in life's simple pleasures — listening to music, spending time with family, and fishing. His warmth, laughter, and steady presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
