Nestor Israel Pagan

The family of Nestor Israel Pagan, 76, of Land O’ Lakes, Florida, is saddened to announce his passing on September 4, 2023, after battling Parkinson’s for 18 years. We are grateful to know that he is finally at peace. He was born March 20, 1947, in New York City, the son of Carmen and Nestor. He served in the United States Army in the late 1960s. He was passionate about all things home improvement. He loved gardening, listening, and singing the “oldies but goodies”. Nestor was an intelligent man who helped many people that crossed his path with his wise wisdom and life advice. He will be greatly missed for his dry sense of humor and the kindness he showed to all. Nestor is survived by his current wife, Elizabeth Diaz; children Nestor, Diana and Steven Pagan, Madeline Senel (Craig) and Oscar Diaz; grandchildren, Justin R., Dayna M., Steven P., Noah P., Jenna P., Jeremiah R., Elizabeth D. and David R.; great- granddaughter, Nylah D.; mother, Carmen Ronda Pagan; sister, Yadira Sarmiento; nieces and nephews, Eric, Carmen and Beatriz. Nestor was preceded in death by his father, Nestor Pagan. The family wishes to send a special thank you to the nurses and staff at the Rucki Hospice Care Center for their care and compassion. Those that wish to honor his life, please consider a donation in Nestor’s name to the Michael J. Fox Foundation
