Rogelio Duran, Sr., a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and esteemed healthcare professional, passed away on August 25, 202, at the age of 70. Born on April 19, 1954, Rogelio spent his life dedicated to nurturing others both personally and professionally.

Rogelio embarked on a fulfilling career as a Registered Nurse, where his compassion and commitment to patient care shone brightly.

Beyond his professional achievements, Rogelio took immense joy in his role as a grandfather. He cherished the time spent with his grandchildren-Anthony Trejo, Leandra Duran, and Rogelio Duran, III. His love for them was evident in the way he spoiled them and always sought to provide for their happiness and well-being.

Together, this family reflects the strength of his character and the love that encompassed his life.

As we remember Rogelio Duran, Sr., we honor a man whose legacy will live on in the countless lives he touched through his nursing career, his unwavering support for his family, and the joyful memories he created with his grandchildren. His presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit remains a guiding light in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
