Artemio F Palaganas Jr.

He was a man of quiet strength, deep kindness, and unwavering faith. Throughout his life, he touched many as an accomplished dentist, a gifted musician and singer, and a talented artist whose creativity reflected his thoughtful spirit. His patients often spoke of his strong yet gentle hands, grateful for the care, precision, and reassurance he brought to every visit. He found deep joy in playing the saxophone, where his love for music truly came alive, and in spending peaceful hours on the golf course, a place where he found both focus and calm. Known for his gentle humor and keen attention to detail, he had a way of bringing lightness to moments and care to everything he did, making those around him feel both seen and at ease.

His devotion to God guided his every step. He served faithfully as a deacon and Buklod officer, offering his time, leadership, and heart in service to the Church. Through this calling, he lived out his faith with humility and devotion, always seeking to uplift and support others.

As a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Aleli, and a loving father to Aera, Aeron, and Angelo, he gave selflessly of himself. He offered patience, wisdom, and a steady presence that brought comfort and reassurance to his family. His love was constant, his guidance gentle, and his character a source of inspiration to all who knew him.

He will be remembered not only for his many talents, but for the compassion he shared, the laughter he inspired, and the light he brought into the lives of others. His legacy lives on through the love he gave and the lives he forever touched.
