On  the morning of July 17, 2020 Ronnel passed away when he was hit by a vehicle while running at Hermann Park in Houston, Texas.

A news report can be found here of his passing.


Ronnel was more than the nurse depicted in the news, he was a son, brother, cousin, uncle and friend to so many people. What the news story doesn't tell you is the impact he made on his Baylor family in Dallas, and his family in California and the Philippines.

Due to this unexpected passing, any monetary donations are being asked on behalf of his family to help cover his funeral costs. All proceeds will go directly to his family. 

On behalf of the Lapid Family, our warmest thank you and appreciation for helping out our family in this time of need.
