November 27, 2024 at 12:04 a.m.

Milton Suárez, 84, a longtime resident of Port Chester, died at home Nov. 23, 2024 surrounded by his family.

He was born in Uruguay Feb. 21, 1940 and was a man of keen intelligence and insatiable curiosity who spent his life pursuing knowledge and sharing his wisdom with everyone fortunate enough to know him.

His curiosity knew no bounds which led him to explore various fields and interests that enriched his life and those around him.

Whether he was delving into archeological mysteries, keeping up with current social and political affairs or engaging in spirited debates, his sharp mind was always at work.

He was an avid gardener with a green thumb that would rival any professional.

Mr. Suarez was a dedicated employee at Arnold Bakery in Greenwich, Conn. for over 50 years; his friendships there carried over into his life post-retirement, and he made sure to continue speaking Italian to his fellow amici whenever the opportunity would arise.

For 55 years, he was a devoted husband to Yadira; their marriage was a testament to enduring love and partnership. Together, they built a family and home filled with love and cherished memories; he leaves behind a legacy of love, wisdom, and strength.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Yadira Suárez, his children George Suárez, Jonathan Suárez and Michelle Suárez Pedreyra and her husband Marcelo of South Salem, N.Y. and his grandchildren Julian, Marco and Lucas Pedreyra.

Together, Milton’s family will carry forward his spirit and tenacity of Garra Charrúa—a determination to never give up and live a life of honor, integrity and humility.

In addition, he will find peace in knowing that all the gentlemen in his life will continue to proudly cheer for the national soccer team of Uruguay; La Celeste will always reign passionately at the homestead.

Rest in peace, Papa--though you leave us, your impact will continue to resonate and will always live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved you; you will simply never be forgotten.

Respectfully, there will be no visitation, and funeral services will be privately held.

In lieu of flowers, it is suggested that family and friends donate in his name to Calvary Hospital, Calvary@home or the Parkinson’s Foundation.
