Miguel Jaquez

Our brother Miguel Jaquez, a steward at the Millennium Hilton for 22 years and union delegate, has passed away.

Miguel’s sister Maria, also a union delegate, remembered her brother as a strong family man and a hard worker. “He adored his three children, and his favorite thing to do was to cook for his family and spend time with all of us. I especially loved the picnics we would have at my house. Miguel and I would also attend union rallies together. I miss him so much now that he is gone.”

Tyrone Connell, his longtime HEAT representative and former neighbor, remembered Miguel with great fondness. “Miguel was the funniest guy. Everyone loved him. He was well respected, not just in the hotel, but in our neighborhood as well. He was always helping people in our community.”
