A memorial service will be held in Saskatoon prior to the repatriation of his remains to Manila, Philippines, where he will be laid to rest with family and loved ones.
Salom, salom - your final words
Perfect peace that still feels strong.
You walked with grace through joy and pain,
Your faith the anchor in the rain.
Your laughter warmed both heart and home,
Even in stillness, your soul would roam.
Through trials faced, through love displayed,
In every step, God’s hand was laid.
You ran your race, your journey done,
Now rests your soul with Christ the Son.
Though tears may fall, they do not stay,
For dawn will chase the night away.
Salom, salom - we’ll say again,
Until we meet where life won’t end.
In Heaven’s light, so pure, so true,
We’ll lift a toast - in peace - to you.
