César Colón, beloved husband, son, and brother, passed away on February 3, 2025.
César was born to parents Cristobal and Elisa Colón on January 25, 1991. From an early age, sports played a central role in his life. He developed a deep passion for soccer. At 8 years old, he joined his first team and quickly became the star player, earning numerous trophies and medals. However, it wasn't until he won his first championship with his elementary basketball team that he truly experienced the thrill of being the best. This driven spirit carried him through his childhood and teenage years, as he competed in various tournaments across the U.S. He was especially proud of his achievements with FC Dallas, which he considered the cornerstone of his success.
In addition to his athletic pursuits, César loved to learn new skills – a talent he possessed. He played the drums at church and later learned how to play the bass. He had a remarkable ability to memorize and recite Bible verses, demonstrating his dedication and faith.
César's educational journey began at Lida Hooe Elementary where he was recognized as a student of promise and was placed in the Talented and Gifted program. With the support of his teachers, he was then accepted to Alex W. Spence Talented/Gifted Academy. In 2009, César graduated from Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Magnet Center School of Business in Dallas, TX, ranked as the No. 1 school in Texas and sixth nationally. After being awarded the Roger and Rosemary Enrico Dallas Scholarship to attend Babson College near Boston, MA, he graduated with honors in 2013. César remained actively engaged with the Babson community through the Dallas Alumni Chapter, always eager to give back to the college by assisting prospective students and alumni.
César's creativity, drive to learn, and competitive spirit led him to a successful career in marketing. He was a natural leader who found great fulfillment in mentoring others. He never took an opportunity for granted, always willing to share his experiences or offer advice to help others succeed. César gave his full effort to everything he did, making a lasting impact wherever he went.
On April 14, 2019, he married his loving wife, Kathleen. Together, they shared a beautiful life, often inseparable. They traveled to many places and enjoyed cheering for their favorite local team, the Dallas Mavericks. César and Kathleen were also devoted to their two dogs, Lilie and Dunkin.
César's legacy will forever live on through the countless lives he touched, the stories he shared, and the love he gave. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. May his memory continue to inspire those who had the privilege of calling him a friend or family.
César is survived by his wife, Kathleen Colón; his parents, Cristobal and Elisa Colón; and his sister, Samantha Colón.

César Colón, amado esposo, hijo y hermano, falleció el 3 de febrero de 2025.
César nació el 25 de enero de 1991. Hijo de Cristóbal y Elisa Colón. Desde temprana edad el deporte jugó un papel muy importante en su vida. Desarrolló una profunda pasión por el fútbol soccer; a los 8 años se unió a su primer equipo y rápidamente se convirtió en un jugador importante dentro de la media cancha y junto a sus compañeros fueron escalando ganando numerosos trofeos y medallas. Sin embargo, fue hasta que ganó su primer campeonato con su equipo de baloncesto de la escuela primaria que verdaderamente experimentó la emoción de ser el mejor. Este espíritu determinado lo acompañó durante su niñez y adolescencia, mientras competía en varios torneos en los EE. UU. Estaba especialmente orgulloso de sus logros con FC Texas que posteriormente paso a ser la Academia del FC Dallas al cual consideraba la piedra angular de su éxito.
Además de sus logros deportivos, César amaba aprender nuevas habilidades, un talento que poseía. Tocaba la batería en la iglesia y más tarde aprendió a tocar el bajo. Tenía una notable habilidad para memorizar y recitar versículos de la Biblia, lo que demostraba su dedicación y fe.
El viaje educativo de César comenzó en la escuela primaria Lida Hooe, donde fue reconocido como un estudiante prometedor y colocado en una clase de Talento y Dotación. Con el apoyo de sus maestros, fue aceptado en la Academia de Talento/Dotación Alex W. Spence. En 2009, César se graduó de la escuela secundaria Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Magnet Center School of Business en Dallas, TX clasificada como la escuela número 1 en Texas y sexta a nivel nacional. Luego asistió a Babson College en Boston, MA, tras recibir la beca Roger y Rosemary Enrico Dallas, graduándose en 2013. César se mantuvo activamente involucrado con la comunidad de Babson a través del capítulo de exalumnos de Dallas, siempre deseoso de retribuir a la universidad, ayudando a futuros estudiantes a ingresar a dicho plantel y exalumnos en todo lo que pudiera.
La creatividad de César, su impulso por aprender y su espíritu competitivo lo llevaron a una exitosa carrera en marketing. Era un líder nato que encontraba gran satisfacción al mentorear a otros. Nunca dejaba pasar una oportunidad por sentada, siempre dispuesto a compartir sus experiencias y ofrecer consejos para ayudar a otros a tener éxito. César daba su esfuerzo total en todo lo que hacía, dejando un impacto duradero dondequiera que iba.

El legado de César vivirá para siempre a través de las innumerables vidas que tocó, las historias que compartió y el amor que dio. Será profundamente extrañado por todos los que lo conocieron. Que su memoria continúe inspirando a aquellos que tuvieron el privilegio de llamarlo amigo o familia.
César deja atrás a su esposa, Kathleen Colón; a sus padres, Cristóbal y Elisa Colón; y a su hermana, Samantha Colón.
