Mr. Cueto, 74, of Charlotte, NC, passed away suddenly Tuesday, October 25,
2011.
Dag was born August 14, 1937 in San Luis, Pinar del Rio, Cuba to Ceferino
Concepcion and Pura Rosa Cueto.
Dag's passions in life were his family, baseball and tending his garden. Dag
played professional baseball for 9 years, playing for the Charlotte Hornets
in 1958, where he met his beloved wife, Brenda. He eventually made it to the
major leagues playing for the Minnesota Twins in 1961.
After his professional career he continued to play locally for many teams
until age 69, including the Kings Gym baseball team helping them win several
Roy Hobbs World Series. He worked for many years with Haverty's Furniture
and most recently with Embree-Reed, Inc.
He is survived by two sons, Bert Concepcion and his wife Julie and children
Anna and Jake, Carlos Concepcion and his wife Lisa and child Brandon,
daughter Susan Parrish and husband Stan and children Sierra and Savanna.
Dag was preceded in death by his parents and his beloved wife Brenda. He was
deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
The family will receive friends Saturday, October 29, 2011 from 11:00am
until 1:00pm at McEwen Funeral Service. A celebration of life will follow.
Interment will be in Sharon Memorial Park.
In lieu of flowers memorials may be made in remembrance of his beloved wife
