Ulises C. Vega Obituary

Ulises C. Vega, de 85 años, de Riverside, California, salió de este reino, mientras estaba hospitalizado, el 19 de enero de 2023. A su lado estaba su hija menor, Dinalba Vega.
Ulises, nació de Isidro Vega y Rufina Casi Vega, el 10 de octubre de 1937, en Granma, Cuba. En su juventud, Ulises fue un músico y cantante carismático y prolífico al que le encantaba tocar el acordeón y cantar en grupos musicales en Cuba.


Después de casarse e inmigrar a los Estados Unidos, en 1966, Ulises se convirtió del catolicismo al cristianismo evangélico. Su música siguió su ejemplo; comenzó a tocar y a cantar música evangélica en iglesias pentecostales, así como en avivamientos y convenciones cristianas evangélicas. Cantó en su idioma español nativo, y durante su vida aprendió por sí mismo a tocar la guitarra e incluso hizo algunas grabaciones musicales. Más adelante en su vida, Ulises cantó y fue coanfitrión de un pequeño programa de radio cristiano, evangélico latino de una estación de radio local.


Además de ser músico en Cuba, Ulises también trabajó como chofer en su Cuba natal. Después de casarse con su primera esposa e inmigrar a los EE. UU., Ulises trabajó en varias fábricas, incluida una siderúrgica.  Trabajó incansablemente, rara vez tomando tiempo libre y con el objetivo de ayudar a sus dos hijas a ser las primeras de su familia en graduarse de universidades estadounidenses.


A finales de sus 40 años, mientras la industria manufacturera decaía en los EE. UU., Ulises cambió su trayectoria laboral al asistir y graduarse de Cerritos College con una certificación en tecnología automotriz. Ulises trabajó como mecánico de automóviles, hasta que se jubiló, a finales de sus 60 años.
En los Estados Unidos, a Ulises le sobreviven sus dos hijas, Dinandrea y Dinalba, y el hijo de Dinandrea; el nieto de Ulises, Lenin. En Cuba, a Ulises le sobreviven de sus dos hermanas Caridad, Elvina, y su hermano Miguel.

Ulises C. Vega, age 85, of Riverside, California, left this realm, in hospital, on January 17, 2023. His youngest daughter, Dinalba Vega was by his side.

Ulises, was born to Isidro Vega and Rufina Casi Vega, on October 10, 1937, in Granma, Cuba. As a youth, Ulises was a confident and prolific musician and singer who loved playing the accordion and singing in musical groups in Cuba. 

After marrying and immigrating to the U.S, in 1966, Ulises converted from Catholicism to evangelical, Christianity. His music followed suit; he began playing and singing evangelical music in Pentecostal churches, as well as at Christian evangelical revivals and conventions. He sang in his native Spanish, and during his lifetime he taught himself to play the guitar and even made a few musical recordings. Later in life, Ulises sang on and co-hosted a small radio show on a local radio station's Latino, evangelical Christian program.

In addition to being a musician in Cuba, Ulises also worked as a chauffeur in his native Cuba. After marrying his first wife and immigrating to the U.S, Ulises worked in various factories, including a steel factory. He worked tirelessly, rarely taking any time off and with the goal of helping his two daughters to be the first in their family to graduate from U.S. universities. 

In his late 40s, as the manufacturing industry waned in the U.S., he changed his work trajectory by attending and graduating from Cerritos College with an automotive technology certification. Ulises worked as an auto mechanic, until he retired, in his late 60's.

In the United States Ulises is survived by his two daughters, Dinandrea and Dinalba, and Dinandrea's son; Ulises' grandson, Lenin. In Cuba, Ulises is survived by his sisters Caridad and Elvina, and his brother, Miguel.
