We miss you everyday Nap.  Your birthday is coming up.  Guide us. You are with our heavenly Father. Amen.

Nap has been a good friend. Always there to help . 
I know he is in a good place now.  I will miss him much . 
Thank you for the good memories . May you Rest In Peace. 

We are saddened by the passing of 
Dr. Nap as he was a great friend to us. 
 We got to know Dr. Nap, Vicky and Angel when he had his residency in Saint Mary’s in Grand Rapids, where I also worked as a nurse. He was an excellent doctor to his patients, and had an awesome relationship with the healthcare team. 
Dr. Nap and Vicky are very warm, kind and generous. They welcomed us into their place and shared what they have to us.  He told us how he used to live in Cebu, and what a small world because he’s a relative of my friend from Manila. We enjoyed their friendship, along with the other doctors and their families. Over the years, we continued to be their friends even if they had left Grand Rapids.
To Vicky and kids, and Nap’s Family, our thoughts and prayers for Nap, and may the memories and kindness that he gave remain in the hearts of those whose lives he touched.

When we worked together, in spite of tremendous stress, he was always concerned about me and my family and could usually make me laugh.  When I was with him, I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit.

I heard of Dr. Bravo’s passing while attending a live streamed Mass from St. Clare of Assisi Catholic Church in Surprise, AZ. from my home in WA. State today. My sincere & heartfelt condolences go to the family of Dr. Bravo.
I was a patient of Dr. Bravo’s during the time I lived in AZ.   Dr. Bravo was the most compassionate, truly caring physician I have ever had. He shared his time & went above & beyond what I expected from him. He was more like a family member as we were both from the Philippines & would share familiar memories.  
I am at a loss for words to express the sorrow I feel at the passing of someone who shared so much of his young life to care for others.  May Dr. Bravo Rest In Peace in that special place in heaven reserved for those who sacrificed so much for others. 


College life in UP Manila was so memorable and fun for me.  I was very fortunate to have spent my junior and senior years with many classes shared with Nap.  My barkada would always have non stop laughter with him around. His trademark deadpan humor made it very hard to control our laughter  to the point of almost getting kicked out of class.  You are so very  fondly remembered  Nap with always a huge smile and wonderful memories.  Heaven is now, indeed, a happier place with you. 

Nap, Vicki and Angel welcomed me in their home and treated me like family while I was doing my residency training in Grand  Rapids, Michigan. Nap was full of life and always willing to help. He was full of compassion and I remembered him inviting me to do a medical mission in Mexico. He loved his family dearly and spent precious time with them. Thank you for the great memories Nap and you will forever be missed. 

We only knew Nap for a short time but we will remember him as a caring, wonderful man.  He always greeted everyone with a smile.  He will be in our prayers, along with his family.

Dr. Bravo was the primary care physician for our aging parents when he worked at CIGNA in Surprise. What a wonderful, caring doctor. He gave the best hugs! I was heartbroken to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this most difficult time. May God bless all of you and hold you in His loving arms.
