Tears still flow from the pupils of his family and friends after his departure
The family of Chris V. Matal Sol’s are suffering the departure of this beloved son of El Salvador, who came to the US at the age of 18 looking for better economic opportunities. Born on Nov. 29, 1958, he surrendered his soul to his Creator on Jan. 27, 2022. He was 63.
On the latest days of his life he suffered from multiple illnesses.
Mr. Matal Sol was the son of Cristo Salvador Matal Sol and Tomasa Aparicio Matal Sol. He met his wife Urania in S.F through mutual friends.
His family described him as a hard-working man who worked for the City & County of San Francisco for over 20 years.
“Chris was a very funny, humble and down to earth man who loved his animals and enjoyed nature,” said his daughter Isabella. “He was a smart man who loved to read and could’ve very well been a teacher or a lawyer as he was a very giving person who cared and always thought of others before himself.”
Mr. Matal Sol adored and loved his two children dearly and his wife, said a family member. He once said that if he came to the U.S, was not only for a better opportunity for himself, but also for his children. He wanted them to be born in the great city of S.F.
A big sports fan of the SF Giants and 49ers, Chris was a strong believer in his spirituality; he was raised as a Catholic. His faith was and meant everything to him.
Mr. Matal Sol is survived by his wife Urania Campos and his two adult children Isabella Matal Sol & Cristo Matal Sol.
Services will be a mass with a celebration of life ceremony, which date will be announced later.
