It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Uncle Noel, who suffered a sudden stroke in the Philippines and passed away on Saturday, September 27th. Uncle Noel was a devoted husband, loving father, and an incredible uncle whose warmth and selflessness touched everyone who knew him.

He leaves behind his wife Jessie and their children, four of whom are now grown, and his youngest, a teenage son still in school. Uncle Noel worked tirelessly to provide for his family and was especially determined to see his youngest finish college. His sudden passing has left an unfillable void and has made that dream much harder for his son to reach.

For many of us, Uncle Noel was more than an uncle. He was a second father figure and a steady source of love and guidance. When our grandfather passed away, he naturally stepped into the role of family patriarch, holding us together with quiet strength and a generous heart. His presence was a comfort and anchor to so many, especially to his nieces and nephews.

We are raising funds to help cover funeral and memorial expenses and to support Aunt Jessie as she faces the heavy responsibility of caring for the family and continuing Uncle Noel’s wish of seeing their youngest son finish his education. As well as the hospital bills he incurred during his week long stay in the ICU before he passed. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will directly help ease the financial burden during this incredibly difficult time.

Your kindness, prayers, and support mean more than words can express. Thank you for standing with our family as we honor the life of a man who gave so much of himself to others and loved his family deeply.
