Beers and Story - Belchertown
Carlos L Velez-Quinones
February 20th, 1963 - January 20th, 2025
Belchertown, MA. Born on February 20, 1963, in Caguas, Puerto Rico, Carlos was a cherished son, brother, spouse, and friend whose presence will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Carlos was the beloved son of Jose Rosa of Springfield and the late Gloria E. Quinones. He was a devoted spouse to Ronald Cook, sharing 42 cherished years together. Carlos’s family, consisting of his father, Jose and siblings George, Luis, Cindy (Stanley), Iris (Steven), and the memory of his deceased sister Carmen, remain deeply connected through their shared love and memories. His circle extended beyond his immediate family to include many nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends who were as close as family: Thomas Borges, Carmen Reyes, Mike, Evan, and Kristen Katawicz. Carlos was warmly embraced by Ronald's family, including Richard Cook, Nancy (Tom) Brown, and Robert (Wendy) Cook, who held him in high esteem and deep affection. A man who found joy in the simple pleasures of life, Carlos was an avid fan of soap operas, particularly "General Hospital," which he never missed. His love for animals was evident in his affection for dogs and cats, enriching his life with companionship and joy. His adventurous spirit led him across the country to live in California for a few years, broadening his horizon and experiences. Throughout his life, Carlos's journey took him from Springfield, where he grew up, to New Hampshire, and ultimately to Belchertown, where he spent his last decade. A gathering of family and friends to honor Carlos’s memory is set for Wednesday, January 29th, from 4-6 pm at the Beers & Story Belchertown Funeral Home. Burial will be at a later date. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to express their condolences may do so via his dedicated GoFundMe page (https://www.gofundme.com/f/join-us-in-remembering-my-lovely-husband-carlos-quinones?qid=eb622aaef233c9511590a9c8eb6c3fd5).
