Angel Negron
February 25, 1945 ~ May 20, 2023
Angel Negron, 78, died peacefully at the Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers on Saturday, May 20, 2023. He was the husband of the late Charlotte (Willette) Negron.
Born in Manatí, Puerto Rico on February 25, 1945, he was the son of the late Christopher Negron and Everalda Perez Negron. He was raised and educated in Puerto Rico and came to the North Shore as a young man, settling first in Beverly and then making his home in Danvers for more than thirty years.
A man full of life, Angel loved Spanish music and entertaining, especially cooking for family and friends. A true ‘jack of all trades,’ Angel was always willing to offer his plumbing, electrical, or Mr. Fix-It skills to family, friends, and neighbors.
He was fiercely dedicated to his family and immensely proud of his cherished granddaughter.
He leaves two daughters, Heidi Negron of Beverly and Celeste Ortins and her husband Brian of Danvers, a stepdaughter, Faith Ortins of Oregon, his granddaughter, Jordan Ortins of Danvers, and many nieces and nephews.

Celeste, Brian, Jordan, and Heidi: Michelle and I were so very sad to hear of Angel’s passing. We have so many great memories from the years we lived on Bell Street. When moving to a new town and buying a first house, the best was having someone like Angel to show me how to fix things. Angel and Charlotte treated us like family from the moment we moved into our house. Angel helped me with too many home projects to count and it would be impossible for me to repay that generosity. He taught me how to be a homeowner. After moving across town when Anna and Declan were about 3, we saw Angel less, but I thought of him every time I had to fix or replace something. I would visit him periodically, but definitely not frequently enough. Every time, he would somehow get me to have a couple shots of whiskey, something I don’t think he even drank. We would shoot the breeze and talk about family. Angel’s family was obviously the most important thing to him and he was so fortunate to have all of you.
In closing, we truly hope that your memories of Angel will help you through this difficult time. He will always be with you in that way. As I have said many times over the years when talking about our great times on Bell Street, “Everyone needs an Angel living right next door.” I did and for that I am forever a grateful.
Godspeed, Angel.
Love, Tom and Michell Flannagan
