Felix Torres, 50, of West Yarmouth passed away suddenly on November 17, 2025. Felix was born in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico to Iris Adorno and Felix Torres (Sr). Born on April 29, 1975, he grew up in Puerto Rico where he started many live-long friendships. He moved to the United States in the early 2000s where he met his wife, Teodora Dimitrova-Torres in 2006 and they got married in 2007. He became a father of two lovely children, Gabriela Torres, 17, and Max Anthony Torres, 10. He is also survived by his two brothers and two sisters.

Felix worked as a maintenance worker and supervisor for many years but kept going back to his original passion, cooking. It was his profession and his hobby, and he enjoyed sharing his food creations with family and friends. Felix was very proud of his Puerto Rican origin and loved telling stories about it. Wherever he went, his Spanish/Latin music was with him. Felix was always the heart of the crowd with his stories and jokes. He knew how to grab the attention with his unique style that made him known as “Elegante”. He touched many people with his generosity and readiness to help. His unexpected passing at such a young age left his family and friends heartbroken. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

A visitation will be held in his honor on Tuesday, November 25, 2025 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm at Hallett Funeral Home, 273 Station Ave, South Yarmouth, MA 02664. In lieu of flowers, donations in his name may be made to the college fund for Gabriela and Max Torres.

My tio Felix really lived up to his name. Feliz. Happy. When I think back to my childhood, I remember him as this bright, magnetic energy who could fill a room just by walking into it. His boricua spirit was always shining through, loud, proud, and full of life. I really admired his drive and his big, outgoing personality. When he came to Massachusetts, he arrived with nothing but a backpack and a dream, he lived with my family for about a year while working three jobs. Watching him go from almost nothing to building a life and a family through hard work showed me what real determination looks like. We didn’t see him much during that time because he was always hustling, but when he did walk through the door, he always came with stories, laughter, and that spark that only he had. I've grown up in a family of strong, hardworking people, and he was one of the examples I tried to follow. It hurts to lose him, but the family he built and the love he shared will carry his legacy forward.

He loved you all very much! I met Felix when we first started working together back in 2008/9. Gabi was just a baby and most mornings he had a tired smile. But he was so proud to be sleep deprived. He would say how proud he was of you Teddy and how much he loved you and Gabi. Years later when Max came along we were no longer working together but he would stop by on a day off at my workplace and come inside to show off the new baby. His little family was his pride and joy and we all knew how much he loved you. Gabi and Max, your Dad was one of the most hard working people I knew. His work ethic was unmatched. He poured his heart and soul in everything he touched. He believed in doing your best no matter what your job is. He didn’t like when someone said that something was impossible, he worked tirelessly until he made it possible. Felix was kind, polite, smart, funny, honest and a great friend. Always willing to help out, no matter what. Always making everyone feel welcomed. I am thinking of you all and I know that his love will always be your guardian angel. Hope you find peace and comfort knowing how much you meant to him. Rali

Deppest condolences to the family. He will be missed.

I met Felix in 2007, when he visited Bulgaria for the first time as the future husband of my cousin. Two years later, in the summer of 2009, I spent time on the Cape, and both Tedi and Felix welcomed me into their home with such warmth. Gabriela was just nine months old then. I remember so vividly the first pasta with pesto Felix made, the whiskey shots before going out because I was underage, and our trip to New York. So many wonderful and cherished memories. Gabi and Max, your father was an extraordinary human being—caring, kind, and full of warmth. Keep his memory close to your hearts, and remember that his love will continue to guide and protect you always. And Teddy, may you find strength in the love you shared and in the beautiful family you built together. Be strong for yourself and for the kids, and know that you are surrounded by people who love you and stand with you.

Words can't say how sad I am to hear of your husband's passing Tedi. Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy for you and your children.

Nostalgia eterna por mi amigo que se fue tan pronto, Dicen que el tiempo suaviza el dolor, pero sigue siendo fuerte. El vacío que dejaste nunca será llenado mi compadre, mi amigo mi elegante ñ…, aunque ya no estés físicamente, siento tu risa y tu voz en cada recuerdo que guardo. Las charlas interminables, los secretos compartidos y las risas espontáneas siguen latiendo en mi corazón. Gracias por siempre dar y valorar la amistad verdadera. Edward Herrera la Ñe..como me llamabas

Deepest condolences Torres family, I am so sorry for your loss. Felix will be missed dearly and my thoughts and prayers go out to Teddy and the kids. Felix was the one who first trained me when I first started working at the Cove back in 2015 and he taught me everything I know about the chemistry of taking care of the pools, easier ways of fixing things,and was always there to help me with anything whatsoever. I miss all of the Saturdays that we worked together as we were able to spend the most of our time together sharing stories,jokes, recipes, and boasting of the kids.Felix is easily someone who I called a true friend.My heart goes out to all of you during this most difficult time. I know he will always be here in spirit and so will the love he had for his family and friends. God bless you all, Rich
