Sergio Quijano, 57, was born Oct. 10, 1961, on the island of Puerto Rico. He is the oldest of two children. His family left Puerto Rico and came to the United States for a better life.

Sergio took great pride in having graduated from Dewitt Clinton High School, where famous folks like Stan Lee were alumni. He made friendships there that have lasted through the years. He later worked for the high school as a student advocate.

Sergio was the kind of person that everyone wanted to be around. He faced life with the largest amount of courage and positivity. He always had a kind word for anyone he met and touched many lives.

Sergio is survived by his mother, Aida; sister, Betty; wife, Millie; and the pride of his life, his four children, Matthew, Sergio Jr., Alejandro, and his baby girl, Olivia. Nothing pleased him more than to talk about his children.

Although we mourn our loss of this amazing man, we celebrate his beautiful life. A visitation will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 26, followed by a funeral service at 3 p.m., at Wilmington Funeral Chapel, 1535 S. 41st St., Wilmington.
