He was born in Bronx, NY on January 3rd, 1957, to his parents Rafael Soltren who passed away in September of 1998 and his beautiful mother Agrippina Sanchez who recently passed on April 12, 2024. He is survived by his sons; Louis Soltren, Alberto Torres, and Matthew Soltren, his daughters Ayla Litsenberger and Kiana Soltren, his daughter-in-law Elizabeth Rodriguez, his son-in-law Ben Litsenberger, his future daughter-in-law Leah Kelley, along with his bonus children Ariel and Sade Uffre.

He is also survived by his wife from whom he was legally separated, Wendy Uffre. He will be remembered forever and loved always by his 15 grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives, and closest friends.

He had a successful career in the construction industry for over 23 years and last worked as a supervising foreman for Flintlock Construction Services before his retirement in 2009. After being legally separated from his wife in 2013 he often traveled to see family members in different states. In 2016, he moved to live with his daughter Ayla in MD, VA, FL, and finally Cottage Grove, MN until late October of 2022 when he entered into Memory Care in Cottage Grove, MN and Saint Paul, MN. Despite his cognitive decline he always remembered to make his weekly calls on Sundays (with Ayla’s assistance) to family members whom he treasured. He was a favored resident by staff while in memory care due to his humor, laughter, and kindness.
