Obituary: Pablo De Jesus Fortes, 77 years old, passed away on 21, 2017 in his home surrounded by his loving family. He struggled with tremendous bravery and courage for a year following a devastating stroke. This courage and will to overcome adversity during the last year of his life was in keeping with the same courage and strength that had been an essential part of his makeup throughout his entire life. Pablo was born in Havana, Cuba on 2, 1939 to parents Jose Manuel Forte and Rosalia Olartecoechea Forte. His mother, a teacher, instilled in him a passion for learning and for academic achievement. He graduated from The Institute of Marianao and attended the University of Havana School of Medicine for three years, unable to finish his medical degree because of the communist revolution. Nevertheless, he remained a life-long student of medicine, which he loved with a passion that is rarely seen today. He met Maria Castillo, who was to become his loving wife and partner for the rest of his life, in Marianao, Cuba in 1954. their marriage in 1962, their union produced three children, Paul, Maria, and Alice, all born in Cuba. Always desiring a better future for his family, Pablo sacrificed a dream of becoming a physician to travel to Mexico and eventually to Houston, Texas. In Houston, he worked long hours while learning a new language, acclimating to a new country, and tirelessly preparing for his familys arrival. A reunion with his family, however, was never a guarantee. During this time, he suffered from the news that his own father had passed very unexpectedly before his emigration to the US. For many years, an extended family of 7 lived the American dream, all thanks to Pablos drive to succeed and to provide for his wife, kids, mother, and mother-in-law. Pablo had a brilliant mind, smarts, and incredible self-discipline. He eventually became the Vice President of Gulf Coast Regional Blood for almost 20 years until his retirement in 1993 after heart surgery. His influence by example lead two of his three kids to develop careers of their own in medicine, but he was THE role model to all of his children. Pablo loved fishing, golfing, swimming, playing dominos, and all sports. He especially loved baseball, which he played in his youth and always followed throughout his life. However, his biggest joy was his family. He was a genuinely devoted son, husband, father, and grandfather. Pablo was preceded in death by his father, mother, and mother-in-law, Joaquina Castellanos. He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Maria Fortes, son Paul Fortes, daughter Maria Steele, daughter Alice Fortes, and grandson Conner Steele, as well as many close family and friends. His death is a profound loss to his family, who will miss his physical presence every day. We are comforted in the knowledge that he will remain in our lives in spirit, and that his immense influence and love will continue to live in everyone who had the blessing of calling him husband, father, grandfather, and friend. We love you Papi! |
