Angel was born on July 13, 1955, and raised in Manila, Philippines, where he graduated from the University of Santo Tomas with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. He and his family immigrated to Calgary, where he studied at SAIT and earned a Piping Drafting Certificate. Through perseverance and hard work, Angel found employment as a Civil/Structural Draftsman, a career he pursued for nearly 20 years before retiring.
Angel will be remembered as a man of few words with a creative mind, a natural talent for innovation, and a passion for building. He was always creating, inventing, and finding new projects to work on in his spare time. He enjoyed working with his hands and keeping himself busy with new ideas. Angel was a proud, independent, and strong-willed man, always willing to lend a hand whenever someone needed help, yet never afraid to stand up for himself and his family.
Angel was immensely proud of his three children and loved his wife and family. He always strived to make their dreams come true. Angel had always wished to return home to the Philippines one day. Now, his spirit is free to be home in the Philippines while remaining close to his family in Calgary.
Angel is survived by his wife of 45 years, Carmelita Sarile, and his children, Carmela, Christian, and Clarence. He is also survived by his siblings, Lillie Sarile, Mavie (Reggie) Cruz, Gina (Jojo) San Juan, Zeny Guzman, Agnes (Arvin) Rosales, Noel (Glyieza) Sarile, and Lani (Brian) Avellaneda, along with their families. Angel was predeceased by his father, Angel Sr.; his mother, Ludivina; his brother, Archangel; and his nephew, Angelo.
