Casanova en-us https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/romel-catalan/#c196114 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/romel-catalan/#c196114 I was at MEPS with Romel, and flew with him to basic training with a small group of guys from so cal. We kept in touch through basic training and advanced individual training. I've looked him up a bunch of times over the years and just now found this tragic news. :( He was genuinely a great guy! May he Rest In Peace and may his family find happiness knowing that he was loved and is still thought about over a decade after his passing. God bless.

My cousin Romel and I would take off on our bikes and head to the sports arena those were the days. LOVE YOU BROTHER!!!!

I never saw him angry at anyone or anything. Short lil guy but capable of doing the work at hand. I remember when I first met him he told me he was from Huntington Park, California. I'm from Los Angeles so I knew we'd get along just fine. Miss him to this day since I served with him in Iraq. RIP brother...

Great friend, still remember when he couldn't do one push up, "one, one, one..." we will miss you bro. Fri, 09 Jul 2010 04:04:32 -0700
