Oscar Alberto Tarazona Mejia

May 16, 1942 — October 9, 2024

Oscar Alberto Tarazona Mejia, 82, of Orlando, FL, passed away on October 9, 2024. Born in Pamplona, Colombia, on May 16, 1942, to Jose Alejandro Tarazona and Edelmira Mejia, he lived a life full of love and laughter.

Oscar married the love of his life, Betty Ramirez de Tarazona, on November 21, 1964. Together, they raised five wonderful children: Leonardo, Diana, Andrea, Carlos, and Felipe Tarazona Ramirez. His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren, Daniel and Paola Tarazona Hernandez, Alejandro and Tomas Pulido Tarazona, Valentina Castro Tarazona, Diego and Camilo Tarazona Napoles, Nicolas, Natalia, and Andres Tarazona Romero, as well as his great-grandchildren, Matias Tarazona Zuluaga and Kai Santiago Castro.

A devoted family man, Oscar was known for his joyful spirit and sense of humor. He enjoyed watching and playing soccer, singing, and dancing, and he had a particular fondness for wings, Colombian food, sweets, cookies and loved a cold beer (checha). As an entrepreneur and accountant, he proudly owned three restaurants in Bogota before moving to Orlando, Florida, in July 2000.

Oscar is survived by his loving wife, Betty, his children and his daughters and sons-in-law: Stella Hernandez, Luis Alberto Pulido, Luis Fernando Gonzalez, Linda Napoles and Maria Eugenia Romero. He is also survived by his siblings, Vilma Tarazona, Betty McDonagh, Ana Ghiber Yepes and Edgar Tarazona. He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings Betsy, Ivan, Elio, Fernando and Jaime Tarazona Mejia.

Known for his kindness, flirtatious nature, and ability to make everyone laugh, Oscar will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His love for his family, especially Betty, was the cornerstone of his life, and his joyful spirit will live on in the hearts of those he touched.
