Fabio A. Cuellar Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Our loving husband, father, and brother, Fabio Alberto Cuellar, age 67, passed away on Wednesday, December 23, 2020 at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center in Woodbridge, Virginia. Fabio, also called Alberto by many, was born to Roselia and Policarpo Cuellar on October 2, 1953. Born and raised in Sevilla Valle, Colombia, he grew up with two older sisters, Gloria and Amparo, and a younger sister, Aida. He immigrated to the United States in 1971, and went on to graduate from J.E.B Stuart High School, in Falls Church, Virginia in 1973. After high school he enlisted in the United States Navy, where he served on active duty for three years. He received an honorable discharge on July 30, 1978, and moved back home to Arlington, Virginia. In 1978, he met the love of his life, Pepi Cuellar, and on January 24, 1981 they were married. They went on to have three children, and settled down in the place they still call home in Dale City, Virginia in 1987. Fabio was a member of Grace Baptist Church in Woodbridge, Virginia and was a devoted member of the band. He was a talented musician and played various instruments both at home and at church. Music was his passion. He could always be relied on to bring the music to every gathering, and share his infectious love for it with everyone around him. Fabio's greatest accomplishment was his family. He was married to his wife Pepi for 40 years. In addition to their three children, they had four beautiful grandsons. Fabio and Pepi loved traveling the world, especially to visit their daughter Patty and son-in-law Spiro while they were stationed in Georgia, Hawaii and most recently in New York. Papa, as his four grandsons called him, loved having them over as often as possible. He loved his grandchildren with all his heart, and enjoyed spoiling them as often as he could with their grandmother, Nana. Fabio is survived by his wife, Pepi Cuellar; his three children, Stephanie Covington (Burt), Patty Nino (Spiro), and Steven Cuellar; four grandsons, Dylan Nino, Noah Nino, Landon Covington and Lucas Covington; two sisters Gloria Beauchamp and Aida Cuellar. A service will be held on Wednesday, December 30, 2020 at 5:00pm at Miller Funeral Home in Woodbridge, Virginia. Due to COVID-19 guidelines, attendance will be limited to 10 members of immediate family. Because many will not be able to attend in person, we will be streaming the service through Facebook Live at this link: https://www.facebook.com/miller.f.home/ A Celebration of Life Service will be held at Grace Baptist Church prior to his interment in the spring, where his family hopes they can have more loved ones join and share in their loving memories of Fabio.
