Cha Cha Coconuts will host a Celebration Of Life honoring our dear teammate Marcelo Rodriquez Quiterio on Monday, Feb. 12 from 4-7 p.m., featuring live music by friends Ed Maryon and Jimmy Gillis.

Marcelo lost his battle with Stage 4 cancer on Monday, Jan. 15. He worked with us at Cha Cha Coconuts as a busser for more than 16 years and was an integral part of our restaurant. He greeted everyone with a smile — even the pups visiting St. Armands Circle — he always would bring them water and a dog biscuit wrapped in a Cha Cha’s beverage napkin.

He truly was a kind, sweet soul and spread happiness every moment we knew him. Always smiling, he sincerely loved his job and cared for every customer. He knew our regulars and treated them with respect and love. Marcelo was our “maitre d’,” in a sense.

He was our brother, our friend, and we will miss him dearly.

Please join us in honoring his memory from 4-7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 12 at Cha Cha Coconuts.

Friends of Cha Cha Coconuts, it is with tremendous sadness that the Gonzmart family announces our dear teammate Marcelo Rodriquez Quiterio lost his battle with Stage 4 cancer on Monday, Jan. 15.

Marcelo worked with us at Cha Cha Coconuts as a busser for more than 16 years. He was an integral part of our restaurant. He greeted everyone with a smile — even the pups visiting St. Armands Circle — he always would bring them water and a dog biscuit wrapped in a Cha Cha’s beverage napkin.

Everyone knew Marcelo. He was all over the restaurant. He would say things like, “Squeaky clean!” (and make a squeaking noise) when he cleaned each table.
“It is what it is.”
“What’s the plan?”
“And everybody happy!”

He truly was a kind, sweet soul and spread happiness every moment we knew him. Always smiling, you’d never know he had been battling cancer. He sincerely loved his job and cared for every customer. He knew our regulars and treated them with respect and love. Marcelo was our “maitre d’,” in a sense.

He was our brother, our friend, and we will miss him dearly.

For details about Marcelo’s memorial service, email general manager Emily Ranney at [email protected].
