Rafael Felan, a beloved husband, brother, and uncle, passed away on August 30, 2025, at the age of 67. Born on February 16, 1958, he grew up with a zest for life that was evident in his numerous passions and interests.

Throughout his life, Rafael had a profound appreciation for the joy found in playing and watching sports, particularly football, which brought him countless hours of happiness and camaraderie. He also had a keen interest in drama television shows, often engaging in lively discussions about the plots and characters. His enjoyment of puzzles was not just a pastime but a reflection of his determined and inquisitive nature, always seeking challenges that would stimulate his mind.

Rafael is survived by his devoted wife, Teresa Schobel, who cherished their life together.
