Help Bring Ben Paculba Home for Final Resting Place

Dear Family, Friends, and Kind Strangers,

My dad, Ben Paculba, passed away unexpectedly in the Philippines on March 27, 2025, at the age of 74.

For those who knew him well, they will forever remember the way he led his life of sharing God’s love, his faithful service to the church as an elder for over 30 years, his devotion as a loving husband of 52 years to my mom, and a loving father to 7 children, our spouses, and 21 grandchildren. He was a man of few words with a passion for music, boxing, fixing cars, and farming. My dad touched the lives of many with his generosity, gentle spirit, and commitment to spreading the good news of God’s love and mercy. His passing is deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

At this difficult time, we are faced with the challenge of bringing my dad home to California for a final farewell and burial. We are doing everything we can but the financial burden is too great for us to bear alone. Your support will help with funeral costs and transporting his remains from the Philippines.

We are reaching out to our community of friends and family to ask for your support. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in helping us honor his memory and provide him with a dignified return home. If you are unable to donate, sharing this with others is another way you can make a difference.

Your kindness, prayers, and support during this incredibly challenging time are deeply appreciated and mean so much to me and my family.

Thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
