ANGEL LUIS COLLAZO PÉREZ

5 NOVIEMBRE 1942 – 23 ABRIL 2026

Angel Luis (Angelo) Collazo Pérez, 83 años, de Wylie, Texas, falleció pacíficamente el jueves, 23 de abril de 2026.

Nacido el 5 de noviembre de 1942 en Guayama, Puerto Rico, Angelo fue hijo de Alberto Collazo y Dominga Pérez y vivió rodeado de una familia grande y unida por el amor. Después de vivir su niñez en Guayama, como adolescente se trasladó a Nueva York. Tras además vivir en Massachusetts, Florida, y regresar un tiempo a su tierra natal, disfrutó sus últimos años en Texas, dejando una huella imborrable en cada lugar donde residió.

Las cosas materiales no le interesaban a Angelo. Prefería viajar, caminar al aire fresco, y pasar tiempo con su familia y sus amigos. A Angelo le encantaba chistear. Muchos leyendo esta página seguramente se recordarán de algún chiste favorito que Angelo les contó. También le encantaba la música. Muchas veces se le podía oír cantando o silbando sus melodías favoritas. Su artista favorito era Marco Antonio Muñiz y logró conocerlo años atrás. Si bien tuvo diversos trabajos y emprendimientos, fue como chef que disfrutó su mayor éxito.

Los que lo conocían bien, dirían que Angelo era libre, charlatán, y buen hijo de su madre. Cometió mil errores, pero hablaba muy orgulloso de ellos. No pretendía ser recordado como un santo que no fue. Tenía muy claro quién era. Nos amó a su manera y nos enseñó a amarlo igual.

A Angelo le sobreviven sus hijos Sarah y Preston Dorsey y Milagros Collazo Fernández; nietos Jorge (Diana) Hernández Jr., Javier (Brunette) Hernández, Sergio Hernández, Sofia (John) Butler, John Tubens Collazo, Leonardo Tubens Collazo, Jeneá Dorsey, y Justun Dorsey; bisnietos Briana, Javier Antonio, Amaya, Jaidyn, Aiyanna, Mila, Jaida, Calixto, Joy, Kira, Aria, Branden, Cyrus, y Salina; tataranieta Aubriana; hijo de crianza, Jorge Hernández Sr.; hermanos Collazo Pérez: Juan Alberto (Guani) y Margarita; hermanos Collazo Vazquez: Orlando, José Luis, Edwin, Agustín, Iris, Ruth, Hilda, José A. (Junior), Victor, y Eloisa. También le sobreviven numerosos sobrinos, primos y amigos que eran como familia para él.

Le precedieron en la muerte sus padres, Alberto Collazo y Dominga Pérez; esposa, Guadalupe Fernández; hermanos Fina, Luis, Felo y Junior Pérez Pérez, José (Pepe) Collazo Pérez, e Ismael Collazo Vazquez.

Angelo no era partidario de las formalidades, así que se llevará a cabo una pequeña celebración de vida en su casa en Wylie, Texas el 17 de mayo a las cuatro de la tarde. Personas interesadas en participar pueden comunicarse con su hija, Sarah.

Esperamos que esta página sirva para unirnos y compartir nuestros recuerdos de Angelo, que en paz descanse.

ANGEL LUIS COLLAZO PÉREZ

NOVEMBER 5, 1942 – APRIL 23, 2026

Angel Luis (Angelo) Collazo Pérez, 83, of Wylie, Texas, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 23, 2026.

Born on November 5, 1942, in Guayama, Puerto Rico, Angelo was the son of Alberto Collazo and Dominga Pérez and lived surrounded by a large family united by love. After spending his childhood in Guayama, he moved to New York as a teenager. After also living in Massachusetts and Florida, and returning for a time to his birthplace, he enjoyed his final years in Texas, leaving an indelible mark on every place where he resided.

Material things did not interest Angelo. He preferred to travel, take walks outdoors, and spend time with his family and friends. Angelo loved telling jokes; many reading this page will surely recall a favorite joke that Angelo once shared with them. He also had a deep love for music; he could often be heard singing or whistling his favorite tunes. His favorite artist was Marco Antonio Muñiz, whom he had the opportunity to meet years ago. Although he held various jobs and ventures, his greatest achievement was as a chef.

Those who knew him well would say that Angelo was free-spirited, a smart-mouth, and a true son of his mother. He made a thousand mistakes, yet he spoke of them with great pride. He never sought to be remembered as a saint, which he was not. He knew exactly who he was. He loved us in his own way, and he taught us to love him with that same spirit.

Angelo is survived by his children, Sarah and Preston Dorsey and Milagros Collazo Fernández; his grandchildren, Jorge (Diana) Hernández Jr., Javier (Brunette) Hernández, Sergio Hernández, Sofia (John) Butler, John Tubens Collazo, Leonardo Tubens Collazo, Jeneá Dorsey, and Justun Dorsey; his great-grandchildren, Briana, Javier Antonio, Amaya, Jaidyn, Aiyanna, Mila, Jaida, Calixto, Joy, Kira, Aria, Branden, Cyrus, and Salina; his great-great-granddaughter, Aubriana; Jorge Hernandez, Sr., whom he loved as a son; his Collazo Pérez siblings, Juan Alberto (Guani) and Margarita; and his Collazo Vázquez siblings, Orlando, José Luis, Edwin, Agustín, Iris, Ruth, Hilda, José A. (Junior), Victor, and Eloisa. He is also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who were like family to him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Alberto Collazo and Dominga Pérez; his wife, Guadalupe Fernández; and his siblings, Fina, Luis, Felo, and Junior Pérez Pérez, José (Pepe) Collazo Pérez, and Ismael Collazo Vazquez.

Angelo was not a fan of formalities; therefore, a small celebration of life will be held at his home in Wylie, Texas, on May 17 at 4:00 p.m. Those interested in participating may contact his daughter, Sarah.

We hope that this page will serve to bring us together and share our memories of Angelo; may he rest in peace.
