Obituary for Francisco Teruel
Francisco Teruel
August 30, 1942 - January 11, 2023
Francisco Teruel loved the Lord Jesus Christ and, in the early hours of January 11, 2023, at the age of 80, went home to be with our Heavenly Father.
Francisco who was also lovingly known as Frank, Paco, Dad, Abuelo and Tio, was born on August 30, 1942, to Jose and Lucia Teruel in the little mountain town of Beas De Segura, Spain. He graduated high school and went on to become a gifted carpenter and builder. He was especially known for his beautiful handiwork and craftsmanship of his cabinetry and furniture. All his children have wonderful memories of his many projects in their homes from small repairs to full renovations and new kitchens!
In 1960, Francisco met his future wife, Manuela, in Linares, Spain at the local festival. They were married a few years later and shortly thereafter, true to his adventurous nature, they moved from Spain to Germany. A few years later, they were blessed to welcome their first child, Francisco. The adventure bug bit again, and they immigrated to Canada arriving in Montreal and eventually moving to Saskatchewan and finally settling in Calgary. During those years, they welcomed five more blessings; Juan, Manuela, Lucia, David, and Ruth. Now their family was complete.
Francisco spent his career as a builder and fine carpenter, but he was so much more than a carpenter, he was an artisan and craftsman. He started and ran his own business for many years where he did many commercial and residential projects. In the late 1980’s, he built his own home with his youngest son; a home that would allow all his children and their families to have plenty of room when they would visit. In 2010, Dad suffered and recovered from a stroke that would severely affect his left side. Even during that physical challenge, Dad would continue to complete carpentry projects and manage his rental properties.
Francisco loved his family of 8 which would grow to include daughters, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. As much as he loved his family, he also had a profound love for his Savior. Francisco came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as his savior in 1964 at a church meeting in Germany. His life would forever be changed, and he would live to see the Lord do mighty miracles in his family. His family is so thankful for his salvation and are comforted that they will all meet again in glory and that his memorial is a celebration of his life and a farewell for only a little while.
Francisco is survived and missed by his wife of 59 years, Manuela; his children, Francisco (Rhonda), Juan (Becky), Manuela (Jeff), Lucia (John), David (Marjorie), and Ruth (Adam). There will be cherished memories by his 18 grandchildren, Michael (Morgan), Lisa (Jared), Robyn (Seth), Jeremy, Rebecca (William), Benjamin (Evie), Jessica, Austin (Madeline), Daniella, AnaIsabel (Joey), Joshua, Caleb, Gabriel, Seth, Anna, Michaella, Oscar & Nicolas; his great-grandchildren who loved “Abuelo,” and who they met either in person or through FaceTime are Kai, Jett, Mosha, Maverick, Maine, Meadow, Caroline, Cooper, Carson, Rafael, Noah, and Hugo. Finally, Francisco is survived by his sister, Flores (Pepe); niece, Maria (Maurice) and nephew Jose plus each of their families that reside in Calgary, Alberta. There are also additional nieces, nephews, and in-laws that reside in Spain.
Well done good and faithful servant! You have fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. We are so proud of you and look forward to our reunion in glory.

Francisco Teruel amaba al Señor Jesucristo y, en la madrugada del 11 de enero de 2023, a la edad de 80 años, fue al cielo para estar con nuestro Padre Celestial.
Francisco, también conocido cariñosamente como Frank, Paco, Papá, Abuelo y Tio, nació el 30 de agosto de 1942, hijo de José y Lucía Teruel en el pequeño pueblo de montaña de Beas De Segura, España. Se graduó de la escuela secundaria y se convirtió en un carpintero y constructor talentoso. Fue especialmente conocido por su hermoso trabajo manual y la artesanía de sus gabinetes y muebles. ¡Todos sus hijos tienen maravillosos recuerdos de sus muchos proyectos en sus casas, asi fueran pequeñas reparaciones hasta renovaciones completas y cocinas nuevas!
En 1960, Francisco conoció a su futura esposa, Manuela, en Linares, España, en el festival local. Se casaron unos años después y poco después, fiel a su carácter aventurero, se trasladaron de España a Alemania. Unos años más tarde, tuvieron la bendición de recibir a su primer hijo, Francisco. Poco despues emigraron a Canadá llegando a Montreal y después a Saskatchewan, y finalmente se establecieron en Calgary. Durante esos años, recibieron cinco bendiciones más; Juan, Manuela, Lucía, David y Ruth. Ahora su familia estaba completa.
Francisco pasó su carrera como constructor y carpintero fino, pero era mucho más que un carpintero, era un artesano. Fundo y dirigió su propio negocio durante muchos años, donde realizó muchos proyectos comerciales y residenciales. A fines de la década de 1980, construyó su propia casa con su hijo menor; un hogar que permitiera que todos sus hijos y sus familias tuvieran mucho espacio cuando lo visitaran. En 2010, papá sufrió y se recuperó de un derrame cerebral que le afectaría severamente el lado izquierdo. A pesar de ese desafío físico, papá continuaría completando proyectos de carpintería y administrando sus propiedades de alquiler.
Francisco amaba a su familia de 8 que crecería para incluir hijas, nueras, yernos, nietos y bisnietos. Por mucho que amaba a su familia, también tenía un profundo amor por su Salvador. Francisco llegó a conocer al Señor Jesucristo como su salvador en 1964 en una reunión de la iglesia en Alemania. Su vida cambio para siempre y vivio para ver al Señor hacer grandes milagros en su familia. Su familia está muy agradecida por su salvación y se consuela de que todos se reunirán de nuevo en la gloria y que su memorial es una celebración de su vida y una despedida temporal.
A Francisco le sobreviven y extrañan su esposa de 59 años, Manuela, sus hijos Francisco (Rhonda), Juan (Becky), Manuela (Jeff), Lucía (John), David (Marjorie) y Ruth (Adam). Habrá recuerdos preciados de sus 18 nietos: Michael (Morgan), Lisa (Jared), Robyn (Seth), Jeremy, Rebecca (William), Benjamin (Evie), Jessica, Austin (Madeline), Daniella, AnaIsabel (Joey), Joshua, Caleb, Gabriel, Seth, Anna, Michaella, Oscar y Nicolás. Sus bisnietos que amaban a “Abuelo” y a quienes conocieron en persona o por FaceTime son Kai, Jett, Mosha, Maverick, Maine, Meadow, Caroline, Cooper, Carson, Rafael, Noah y Hugo. Finalmente, a Francisco le sobreviven su hermana Flores (Pepe), su sobrina María (Maurice) y sobrino José, además de cada una de sus familias que residen en Calgary, Alberta. También hay sobrinas, sobrinos, cunados y cunadas adicionales que residen en España.
¡Bien hecho, buen y fiel siervo! Has peleado la buena batalla, has terminado la carrera y has guardado la fe. Estamos muy orgullosos de ti y esperamos nuestra reunión en la gloria.
