Our family's hearts hurt SO MUCH. The pain is unbelievable. My Kuya (big brother), Ingemar Jeriel Gomora Tolenada, suddenly passed away on June 2, 2023 at his home in Idaho. He was THE BEST FATHER, THE BEST HUSBAND, THE BEST KUYA, THE BEST SON, THE BEST FRIEND, and THE MOST GENUINE PERSON in the world. 

Jay was such a LOVING father, husband, son, brother, and friend. Everyone he knew looked up to him. He always saw the good in people and was so forgiving. His grace was incredible. He was always admired for how he took such great care of his amazing family and how he treated people with genuine respect. He is survived by his wife Jennifer, his son Julien, and his daughter Jocelyn. His smiles and laughs were infectious. He made everyone laugh with his jokes and crazy funny pranks. He was the "biggest little kid." He ALWAYS did the "right thing." He was such an honorable man. A man of reason and a man of his word. 

God took him home to rest after 43 years of making such a positive impact in people's lives. We'll see you in heaven Kuya Jay. We miss you deeply and we love you tremendously. 

The funds raised will go directly to his wife Jennifer. It will aid in paying for two funeral services (one in Idaho and one in Arizona), moving expenses to Arizona, and general financial support for his surviving family. Thank you so much for your support! 

❤️ R.I.P. Ingemar Jeriel Gomora Tolenada aka Kuya Jay (Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Friend, and our forever Protector) January 22, 1980 - June 2, 2023
