Rev. Angel Custodio Bonilla Cifuentes

The Rev. Angel Custodio Bonilla Cifuentes, at the seasoned age of ninety-four, passed away peacefully at his home in the Bronx, New York after a well-fought illness on August 11, 2022, at 1:15 p.m. His wife, his children, and family were by his side.

His life was fully committed to the service of others and to fight for social justice for the oppressed; to serve others, he earned his formal theological education. He was an avid reader, a music lover, and a family head who loved his Bustelo coffee. He loved teaching his kids how to fly a kite and how to enjoy a good soccer game. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Hortensia. Angel was preceded in death by his beloved son, Miguel. He is also survived by his four children:Maria, Daniel, Sandra, and Patricia and their spouses Kent, Annabelle, Kevin, and Isaac, his grandchildren, Alex and his wife Emily, Emily and her wife Daniella, Kelly, Joshua, Kaitlyn, and Jeremy, and his great-grandson, Gabriel Miguel.
