Angel Muniz

Angel “Taliban” Muniz, age 55, of Bridgeport, Connecticut, passed away peacefully on September 28, 2026, at Bridgeport Hospital.

Angel was born on May 29, 1971, in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, to his loving mother, Adela Carbonell. He was raised in Mayagüez, and relocated to Bridgeport, Connecticut, at the age of 15, where he would go on to build a life filled with family, friendship, hard work, and countless memories.

From an early age, Angel grew up with a wrench in his hand and a curious mind. He had a natural talent for fixing things and turned that gift into a lifelong career as a mechanic and a self-made man of many trades. He worked at Flight Support in North Haven, Connecticut, and was the kind of person who could always be counted on to figure things out, lend a hand, or find a practical solution.

Angel was funny yet serious, hardworking, loyal, and full of personality. He was a devoted father, grandfather, fiancé, and true friend. For 15 years, he shared his life with his beloved companion and fiancée, Milagros Taylor.

Angel was the proud father of four children. He raised his children with patience, steady guidance, and plenty of practical wisdom. Whether he was teaching them how to change a tire or simply listening to their problems over a glass of soda, his support was unwavering. He took pride in sharing the skills he had learned throughout his life and making sure his children knew they could always count on him.

A special mention is extended to Evelyn Madrid, the mother of three of his children, who remained by Angel’s side until the end as a close and devoted friend.

Angel had many passions and interests that made him uniquely himself. He loved old-school Latin music, often blaring his favorite songs from his car speakers. He was also an avid gun collector and took pride in his mechanical abilities and his talent for working with his hands. He was a true jack-of-all-trades—a self-made man who could take almost anything apart and figure out how to put it back together.

Angel will be remembered for his laughter, his loyalty, his practical wisdom, his willingness to help others, and the love he had for his family and friends. His presence touched many lives, and the memories he leaves behind will remain cherished by all who knew and loved him.

Angel was predeceased by his loving mother Adela Carbonell, his siblings, Carolyn Johnson and Carlos Carbonell.

He leaves to cherish his memory his loving siblings, Carlos “Charlie” Carbonell; his beloved fiancée of 15 years, Milagros Taylor; his children, Angelica Adele Muniz, Angel Jr. Muniz, Thalia Adele Muniz, and Joel Lebron; his grandchildren; and a host of extended family members, relatives, and dear friends.
