My name is Joiy Anne Tibayan, and I am the eldest sister of Bobby Pedro L. Villarina, who sadly passed away on September 13, 2025.

Bobby—fondly called Jon Jon by our father and close family, or Bob to his friends—was a kind, reliable, and loving soul. He suffered from medullary failure, a condition where the vital part of the brain stem becomes impaired, and also from an intracerebral hematoma, a rupture of a bulging blood vessel known as an aneurysm. Despite medical efforts, we lost him too soon.

Bob was someone you could always count on—ready to help family or friends in need, often going the extra mile without expecting anything in return. He was affectionate, thoughtful, and had a way of brightening people’s days with kind words and genuine compliments. He loved food, snacks, and discovering the best new places to eat—always eager to share his latest find.

This fundraiser is being made to help cover his medical expenses and funeral service. As his eldest sister, I was hesitant to ask for help, but my purpose is to support our parents, who are struggling with the heavy costs of his hospitalization and arrangements. Bob was single and had no family of his own, so the responsibility now rests with us.

If you feel moved to donate, please know that any amount will make a difference. More than anything, we ask that you keep Bob in your prayers and, if you can, join us in remembering him at his service.

On behalf of my family, I want to sincerely thank you for your condolences, prayers, and support during this difficult time. Your kindness means so much.

With gratitude,

Joiy Anne Tibayan
