With a heavy heart, we announce the loss of a remarkable young man taken too soon, Banjo Benedict Vilbar, after a brief and unexpected illness. Banjo was a loving husband to Earthenny, a doting and devoted father to Brix and Luke and a fantastic friend to so many. This man was not a stranger to hard work. It showed it at every job, which has never gone unnoticed by his peers and management. But it did not stop at the workplace. He worked hard to provide for his family, bringing his loving wife here from the Philippines with his firstborn, Brix. The hard work fighting through the pain, which the doctor says should have been almost unbearable these past few months. But being the provider of the family, he fought through the pain (also, being a stubborn Filipino didn’t help), not wanting to burden anyone else.

We ask for your help to assist his family through this devastating and challenging time as they navigate the world without their loved husband and father. All funds will go directly to the family to support expenses not covered by insurance, funeral services and beyond.

Gian was preparing to take on the challenge to provide what he could for the family without question because we all know him to be a selfless man. But we all know it takes a village, and we can not thank everyone enough for their love and support - any dollar amount is greatly appreciated as we know everyone goes through things in life. We understand not everyone can give money, so any prayers and blessings you can send to them will be more than enough.

Thank you very much
