Raymundo M. Morillo

Raymundo Mallari Morillo, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away peacefully on April 7, 2026, at the age of 80. He was born on March 15, 1946, in Tondo, Manila, Philippines, and lived a life marked by strength, service, devotion, and love for family.

Raymundo’s life was a remarkable journey of dedication and perseverance. From humble beginnings in the Philippines, he went on to build a life of purpose and honor, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to inspire all who knew him. He was a man of integrity, discipline, and compassion — someone who carried himself with quiet strength and led by example in both his public and private life.

He proudly served in the United States Air Force for 24 years, from 1969 until his retirement in 1993. His military career reflected his exceptional commitment, leadership, and sense of duty. From 1969 to 1980, he served as a non-commissioned officer, earning the respect of those around him through hard work, professionalism, and steadfast dedication. From 1980 to 1993, he served as a commissioned officer, ultimately retiring with the rank of Major.

Throughout his distinguished career, Raymundo held several important leadership roles. He served as Section Commander for 3rd Supply at Clark Air Base in the Philippines, where he helped lead and support critical operations. He later served as Section Commander for the Security Police Group at Aviano Air Base in Italy, demonstrating his ability to lead with confidence and responsibility in an international setting. Before his retirement, he served as Commander of Morale, Welfare, and Recreation at Bergstrom Air Force Base in Texas, a role that reflected both his leadership and his care for the well-being of others. In every assignment, he brought commitment, excellence, and a deep sense of responsibility to those he served with and those under his command.

After leaving the Air Force, Raymundo began a new chapter of life as a licensed and successful realtor. He carried the same professionalism, determination, and warmth into his work, earning the trust and respect of clients and colleagues alike. His success in this field was yet another reflection of his strong work ethic and his ability to connect with people from all walks of life.

Beyond his work and military service, Raymundo was deeply rooted in faith and community. He was an active member of St. Paul’s Catholic Church and the Austin Filipino American Community. Through these communities, he and his family met many wonderful people who became more family than friends. These relationships brought great joy, fellowship, and support into his life, and they remained a meaningful part of his journey.

While Raymundo’s accomplishments were many, the center of his life was always his family. He was a devoted and loving husband to his wife, Jayne, with whom he shared a life built on love, loyalty, and partnership. Together they created a home filled with care, strength, and enduring commitment.

He was also a proud and loving father to his three sons: Roderick, Bernard, and Jason. He treasured his daughters-in-law, Bethany, Iwona, and Melissa, and he took great pride in the families they built together. His grandchildren brought him immense joy, and he will be lovingly remembered by Zoe, Bella, Julianna, Mia, Caleb, and Jaxon. To them, he was more than a grandfather — he was a source of wisdom, steadiness, and love, someone whose presence brought comfort and whose example taught strength, respect, and perseverance.

Raymundo is also survived by his sister, Natividad Morillo Albor, as well as his brother-in-law, Tony, and his nieces, Mary Rona and Marian Ruth. He also leaves behind cherished in-laws and dear friends who became like family over the years. Their love, support, and shared memories were a meaningful part of his life. He valued family deeply and remained connected to those he loved through the years, carrying with him the bonds of kinship formed in his early life and strengthened over time.

Beyond his work and service, Raymundo embraced life with joy and enthusiasm. He had a special affinity for travel and took great pleasure in seeing the world, including many international cruises that brought him adventure, enjoyment, and treasured memories. Most of all, he loved dancing. Dancing was one of his greatest joys and one of the ways he met many dear friends throughout his life. It reflected his vibrant spirit, his warmth, and his gift for bringing people together.

Though he is no longer with us in body, Raymundo Mallari Morillo will remain forever in the hearts of his family and friends. He will be remembered with deep love, profound gratitude, and lasting admiration. He touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed. Though our hearts are heavy, we find peace in knowing that he is now at rest. He leaves behind a lasting legacy of love, strength, and devotion, and while he will be deeply missed, we are comforted in knowing that he now rests peacefully in eternal peace — perhaps even dancing joyfully in heaven.
