Angel Luis Ayala

Angel Luis Ayala, father, husband, son, brother, and friend, passed away Thursday, August 26, 2021 in his hometown of Stamford, CT at the age of 46 years old. His fight with COVID showed his courage, strength, and resilience. Despite all the pain and every condition he faced, he stayed strong and fought till the end. Angel L. Ayala is survived by his wife Emma Mery; his children Talia Ayala and Mia Ayala; his parents Angel R. Ayala and Ana M. Collazo-Solano; his step-mother Cruz M. Rivera; his siblings Betzaida Ayala, Richard Ayala, Ariana Robles, Gabriela Solano, Jesse Solano, Yelixa Santiago, and Flor Santiago; his father and mother in-law Sergio Mery and Flor Mery; his sister-in-law Michele Mery, his beloved cousins, nieces, nephews, relatives, friends, and his dogs Blue and Louie. Angel was born in Stamford, CT on September 13, 1974 to Angel R. Ayala and Ana M. Collazo-Solano. He was raised to be proud of his Puerto Rican roots, and in a culture of people that love deeply, are family centric, believe in a higher being, and at heart are “Buena-gente” [good people]. Angel was always the curious type. He always wanted to learn and build on his knowledge no matter the subject. His personal achievements were some of the proudest moments in his life. He graduated from Katharine Gibbs College with two degrees in Networking, and Administrative Assistance. He also graduated from the University of Bridgeport Fones School of Dental Hygiene, with his Dental Hygienist degree. Angel worked as a Registered Dental Hygienist at All Smiles in Norwalk, CT. He truly loved what he did, and his dedication to his work was always appreciated by his patients, along with his funny stories and witty comments. His need to give it his best was always one of his biggest traits, and all of it was for his family and his desire to give them everything. Angel met Emma Mery in 1995, the women of his dreams and the women he would spend the rest of his life with. They were the definition of a power couple. Two hearts that beat as one, who complimented each other’s strengths, supported each other’s wants and needs, and as Angel sang “Endless Love” to her on their wedding day, their love for each other is truly endless. Together they raised the two most beautiful girls in Talia and Mia. Angel was the greatest father to ever walk this earth. He did everything for his girls, no matter the request, seeing his baby girls happy always put a smile on his face. He loved every second he spent with them and supported them through all their endeavors. He loved coaching them in soccer, guiding them through life’s challenges, and keeping them safe. He was always there for them. Along with being a great family man, he was also a great friend who held some of the best parties and was always fun to have around. Angel himself was the life of the party and having a drink or two with him was never a disappointment, except if you were playing pool with him then expect to be disappointed… you’ll lose every time. He was truly a great man that was loved by everyone around him. He was a happy soul who lived his best life. Angel will always be remembered for his gentleness, grace, and kindness. He always seemed to find the good in everyone and would always put others before himself. His name suited him perfectly. He was an angel walking among us, and now he’s an angel up in heaven looking over all of us. So Angel, thank you for who you were, thank you for your love, thank you for your lessons, and most of all thank you for the endless laughs and a lifetime of amazing memories. You will forever be loved. Please join us in our celebration of life service in remembering and honoring Angel this Friday, September 3, 2021 at Bosak Funeral Home & Cremation at 453 Shippan Ave, Stamford, CT 06902.
