I remember meeting Omar at CFS which he attended with my son Daniel. We enjoyed a few long car rides together. I remember how easy he was to talk to. A few years later I remet Omar at the West Orange High School where I tempted for a short time. He asked about Daniel and I noted how wistful and thoughtful he was. He always believed the best about us all. My prayers go to all his family, especially his brother. Cherish his memory. He was a fine young man.

Omar X! When doing the math, it feels weird to say that I’ve only known you about 8 years. And I consider myself to be somewhat of a cousin expert because of how many that I have, and though only related through marriage, the math also feels weird because from very early on, you made the cut. Cousin starting five! Varsity lol. Cousin love is special because, in my experience, it occupies the special space between sibling and friend, in which I have also seen you excel in. These are the bounds that I cherish and in just 8 years, I’ve racked up valuable memories. So full of life and never without a smile, and a funny joke in whatever situation, from day one, I always felt the warmth of your heart. I struggle to grasp that that kind of spirit can ever be extinguished. I love you Omar and I hope you know that there is just as much desire to stand with you in your pain as it has been to stand in your joy. Your life has blessed me and for that I’m grateful to call you family. Love you forever, cousin!

Dear Omar, We’ve watched you grow up from preschool through your graduation from HS with Darius. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing you become this beautiful soul whose heart and spirit would not let your physical limitations slow you down. You’d tell me about your cycling in the city and I would cringe!! You were a daredevil! Always pushing yourself and living on the edge. Thanks for capturing the good times with videos of your crew skateboarding and just hanging out. We will all miss your smile and your laughter. I will miss you, I already do!

While our interactions were far and few between, I'll always remember how comfortable I was around you. You always seemed to really care about whatever we discussed, no matter how casual or meaningless the topic was. I associate you with this brightness that was contagious, and provided a warmth that everyone should get to experience. Thank you for the love you've brought to your family, I hope you've found peace and rest easy.

Omar, your presence in this life was always such a comfort to me. Regardless of the distance between us, we loved and cared for each other fiercely. Hours long FaceTime calls throughout and after our relationship… You helped me find my voice, find my confidence. God, you were truly one of a kind. You loved and cared so deeply. But, I know you suffered just as deeply. I am so sorry that it came to this. I am so sorry that we have not held a long, meaningful conversation since the middle of the summer. I wish we had even just one more. But then, I would probably wish we had just even another. There were hours worth of FaceTime calls left to have.
You took a piece of my heart with you. But I know, just as well, I have a piece of your heart with me at all times. With the strength of your love and friendship, I push forward. I mean, I have to make sure I have plenty of stories to share for when we meet again… There is no one else like you in this lifetime, Omar. You were a wild soul, much bigger than life and it’s physical bounds. I hope that wherever you are, you have one good pair of beat up Converse, endless Corona & Cokes, and a bike that will never break down on you. I will always love you.
X-MEN FOREVER

Omar. You really are one of kind. From Mount Pleasant memories, to the antics we got into at Liberty, to late night Wawa runs, to wherever, you never failed to put a smile on anyone’s face. No matter who you hung out with or how you were feeling, you always put others first. Always leading with your heart.
You were unapologetically yourself. A kind soul. A great person. I could go on and on about the memories and times we shared, but I’ll leave this with a thank you. Thank you for touching the lives of many. Thank you for the laughs. Thank you for being you.
Until we meet again brother.
Always with love,
Brendan

One cool ass guy. Regardless of how long it’d been since we’d seen each other we’d always be greeted with a warm hug and big smile. Could always rely on his cool chill vibes to balance the energy in the room. You could tell he loved his friends and family in the manner he spoke of them. What I’ll cherish most are the moments I observed him simply chillin’/talking with Emanuel.

Omar… you really taught me how to live life to the fullest. Every single day at school, outside of school, my family loved you even though we would get in trouble for the smallest things whenever you came over. You’re like a brother to me and I’ve told you that so many times. You were such a kind person, great heart and hilarious. Your presence lit up the whole room and I know everyone would agree with me on this.
The memories we have together will forever stay in my heart. There has been times where I would drop everything and come spend time with you when you would reach out because I knew something was off. That’s how much love I had and will forever have for you. Im
Still doing my best to wrap my head around this but i will continue to keep my head up because I know that’s what you would've wanted. There’s so much I want to say but the day will come when we will finally see each other again and will be able to talk about everything. I really do love you and you will forever be my brother.

Omar, I have stared at this blank text box for so long writing and rewriting this. There just aren’t words big enough to really capture what you meant to me and everyone else who had the honor of calling you a friend. You were the loudest laugh and widest smile in every room, instantly making everyone feel at home.
You were a shoulder to lean on and you never failed to let us know that you were there when we needed you. I hope you knew that the same applied to you. The love you spread was reciprocated and wherever you may be I hope you know that we still do and always will love you back.
I don’t know what else to say besides thank you. Thank you for being a friend, for being that glue that held the rest of us together. Thank you for the constant reminders then and even now that there is fun to be had and memories to be made and to hold onto each other as tight as you held on to us.
I miss you always, til we meet again.

Omar ❤️ Perez my wonderful cousin. One summer day my family was on vacation in the sunshine state of Orlando Florida. My aunt Gloria, uncle Ralph and my cousin Omar came to visit me. It was a wonderful surprise, when they walked into the house and there was Omar. A wonderful and charming young man. What a beautiful smile. I must say handsome and funny. I was ecstatic to see him. We didn’t see each other very often as all the cousins live in different states. It was dinner time and we all agreed on KFC. Luis, Ralph and Omar went to pick up the chicken while Gloria and I were catching up. Luis was impressed on how Omar was so respectful and polite.
My daughter, Jennifer loved the time she spent with her titi Gloria, Omar, and Emanuel in New York City. They went to Madame Tussaud’s in Manhattan. They took funny pictures with the wax figures. Jennifer wanted to do the same thing here with them here in Orlando.
My mother Evelyn loves Omar so much. She was honored to spend time with Omar on their yacht. Omar loved fishing with Richard. Omar claimed the little bedroom with the bunk beds. My mother thought he was the cutest ever. Omar loved visiting my mother in the Connecticut home so he can go swimming. She told me he was a little fish. My mother misses Omar’s phone calls on her Chemotherapy days. Omar, she still waits for your phone calls. She wants you to know you still can confide in her. They shared so many memories together. I was so grateful for him and the bond he had with my mommy. What an angel here on earth and now in Heaven. Where he will continue his acts of kindness with all the little angels.
Love ❤️ you

Omar, I feel so blessed to have had you in my life. It’s hard to find the right words to describe the impact you’ve made on myself & everyone around you, but it was really something special. You lit up every room you walked into with laughter and happiness, but you were also a truly genuine friend to me and so many others. I can only hope you felt the love we have for you as deeply as you gave it to us.
You gave me a photo of us and a note during a hard time. You said that you and our friends would be with me no matter where we are in life. I hope you know how much that meant to me, and how true that is now. You will have our hearts forever, no matter where we are.
I am so thankful for the time we spent together and the endless memories I have of you. I think of our time together as a gift, something I will hold with me for the rest of my life. You live on through myself, your friends, your family, and every single life you’ve touched. You will never ever be forgotten. Thank you. I’ll miss and love you forever.

Omar was one of a kind. His spirit was unmatched and he was never afraid to speak his mind. That I will always admire about him. Since we were young we had the best adventures one could imagine. And what’s beautiful about it, is that you were the man behind the lens capturing all of these timeless Moments. I wanna Thank you again for all the memories you gave to not only me but to the many other life’s you’ve impacted. Thank you for everything.(973SD for life)

I came to know Omar through my son William. Omar and he became fast friends in middle school and only became closer over time! Omar was that rare teen that was always happy to say "hello" and "good-bye" when ever he was at the house. Omar shared his "973-SD" videos with me, laughing at some questionable choices and modestly giving credit to others in the videos. Omar was thoughtful enough to bring me a pizza for lunch when he came by picking up some things for William. He always had a smile and an easy laugh, but he was also serious and able to talk about social issues. Omar & William grew up together; debating the merits of 'Black Mesa' vs. 'Portal', taking and sometimes cutting computer classes, working at 'Zumies', learning to drive, the prom, going to Washington DC to protest social injustice as well as enjoying NYC together on occasion. They weren't always perfect but I knew William was with someone that would always have his back ( and vice versa). I will miss Omar's laughter coming from the patio on a warm night, or a yell of excitement coming from the garage on colder "Covid" nights as well as his mischievous smile and head nod that let me know I was only privy to the tip of the iceberg. Omar was stronger than I ever knew. Omar will be in my heart forever!

“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be Kind.” Robin Williams
Omar was a light for us in the dark. He showed us what we could be by living his life 100 percent authentically. He lived each day like a man on a mission to extract from life every bit of joy, passion, and love. Carpe Diem. He seized every day that he was able to. His spirit was pure and those of us that were touched by his kindness will never be the same again.
I am grateful that I was able to spend time with him and share laughter and delicious food. His smile and laugh are more than a memory; they have been etched on my heart.
For those of us left behind, we feel the gaping wound of his absence. It would be easy to allow ourselves to fall into that abyss. But we cannot because Omar has now given his light to us. We must continue to shine in this world where there is too much darkness, pain and sorrow.
Omar - Thank you for letting us have you for so long. I love you.

It's impossible to describe a relationship like ours within a defined character limit... We went through damn near everything together brother - the good and the bad... You were one of the few people who I could always geek out about music with; sending songs to each other at random times because we knew each other would get the nuances... Remember that peak summer day I followed you through NYC on the citi bike and we bought those records?
I always value relationships where there is an equal amount of learning and teaching between all parties involved. In this case, you taught me how to bolster confidence within my self, how to accept flaws and how to take the least expected path as it is always the most fun. I can honestly go on forever, but thank you for all the moments we got to cherish with each other... I don't go 24 hours without thinking about you...
I LOVE YOU OMZ.

TO:
Omar Edward Perez, I have been so lucky & blessed to have a wonderful & caring nephew like you. I loved those days when you & I would go to Chinatown & visit Little Italy for the best pizza in the USA. We would take the train into the city and I was happy to see how nice & helpful your were with all the people that we met & some of those who were lost, you would explain to them in detail how to get them to where they needed to go. You would go as far as pulling out your smartphone & look for a map of where they were going to make it easier for them by explaining and showing them how to get to where they were going. You also showed me how to get around on the train, buses and ferry that would go into Brooklyn to where I was born and I would visit my cousins and friends.
Those times that we spent together traveling back & forth and hanging out, your uncle John will never forget. I know that you have been welcomed in Heaven because you will be a wonderful angel taking care of everyone. I will love you always & I know we will see each other in Heaven someday.
Love always,
