DeCarlo Sabedra, Sr., passed away unexpectedly on Monday, October 16, 2017 in Orlando, FL at the age of 52. He was born December 30, 1964, in Philadelphia, PA and is the son of Marlene and the late Francisco Sabedra.

DeCarlo honorably served in the U.S. Navy and later led a successful career as a civil servant. He married the love of his life, Marion Winfield on June 20, 1987 and together they raised four children. DeCarlo and his family relocated to Central Florida in 1991 coming from Lansdale, PA.

In 1996, he founded the Abundant Life Worship Center of Orlando where he will be remembered as the big-hearted, warm and inspirational pastor that never met a stranger.

He truly appreciated the gift of life and some of his many hobbies included: fishing, cruising, cycling and tinkering around on his cars but most of all, sharing his love with family and friends. He was especially talented at making people smile.

Memories will be cherished by his wife, Marion Sabedra; four beautiful children, DeCarlo Sabedra, Jr., Brandon Sabedra, Deborah Sabedra and Brittany Sabedra; mother, Marlene Sabedra; siblings; and his adoring grandson, Kymani; as well as a host of extended family, friends and his beloved church family. His kind and precious spirit will rest gently in our hearts.

A Gathering of Family and Friends will be held from 10:30AM to 11AM on Monday, October 23, 2017 at the Newcomer Funeral Home - East Orlando, 895 S. Goldenrod Road, Orlando following with a Home Going Celebration to begin at 11AM. Interment with military honors will take place at the Cape Canaveral National Cemetery, Mims, Florida.
