Felix R. Natal

Felix R. Natal, Jr., of Bridgeport has returned to the Glorious presence of the Lord on Tuesday, November 24, 2020 in St. Vincent's Medical Center, Bridgeport, CT; Felix was born in Norwalk, CT to the Late Felix Natal Sr. and the late Lillian Torres but some years later relocated to the Bridgeport area where he resided the majority of his life. Felix had married Dr. Alma Garcia currently of Bridgeport; Felix was a heart full of genuine love for his fellow man. He loved God with all his heart and could not stand still and not share with others the greatness of his God and to allow them to understand that God is one amazing God and that there is no reason to ever lose hope. Felix had a very contagious personality and was blessed with the ability to break through the barriers that many place to keep people at bay from seeing the true persons behind the actions to hide who they are in protection. He was able to connect with many that others struggle with but he would go to the Bridgeport train station in an effort to get an opportunity to speak to others which are found to be homeless or in challenging situations struggling with Drug addiction and more. There was no barrier he wasn't willing to break through in order to allow others to see the magnificent God he came to know. A Joyful person within, showed everyone he came across how much he appreciated them and enjoyed every moment he had with each one. He constantly prayed and was worried about his children, his grandchildren and siblings because as the oldest male of them all, he felt a sense of responsibility to care, to love to show everyone they could rely on him, that his ear was always open to hear, to listen to encourage and to let them know its all gonna be alright! His friends also had a bond in his heart for each one and would stop at nothing to help his fellow man, whether he had or not, he made sure he would make every effort to give, to help and be there. Evidently a beacon of light, an angel from above returns home, but although he leaves so many, with so much to remember it is that which will always be shining in the hearts and minds of those who were blessed to have Felix R. Natal Jr. in their lives. Besides his wife Felix is survived by his Children Aitza and Jonathan Natal; His grandchildren Joel and Judy; his siblings, David, Gloria, Lillian, Jeannette and Ruperta; his uncles Jose and Raul Natal; and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends whom will sorely miss him; Our hearts are broken, but this we know, there was a call, it was God, just calling you home!....
