Celerino Alcantara Antona

Celerino will surely be remembered dearly by his wife Marylou, his daughter Maricel, his sons Christian and Paul Jordan, grandchildren Angela, Adrienne, Francis, Therese, and Jacob, his daughters-in-law Joy and Fely, and son-in-law Jovan. As well as his siblings and extended family in the Philippines.

Celerino was known for his kindness, thoughtfulness, and his utmost respect to his family and friends. He was also a very proud, hands-on, and caring grandfather who will always volunteer to order pizza to share with his grandkids.

Celerino was born in Tanauan, Batangas, Philippines on April 15, 1952 but was given an opportunity to migrate to Canada in 2009. He loved spending his time taking care of his lawn and plants.

The family would like to express their appreciation for all the love, friendship and support that was graciously provided throughout his lifetime and for the prayers especially during his stay in ICU. We would also like to acknowledge the UofA CVICU doctors and nurses, as well as the other health care workers that provided care, compassion, and kindness to Celerino during his illness.
