I met you at the Park Gym in 2016.  You alone welcomed and engaged me in conversation and drew me out.  After that,  you and I chopped it up often and with candor.  I love your spirit and your smile and love.  Carry on,  dear...

Rest Easy Coach Mel.
Love your Sobekick Fam.

You are loved by so many. All of us kids, big and small, will miss you dearly.

There are so many, but one of my favorites was  my birthday last year, starting it with brunch and ending the night dancing. You’ll forever be, my mA. We’ll fly together again in our next life. 

Love you cousin...it’s just hard to believe you’re not with us anymore ..I’m going miss you

You made us feel young while you were involved in the MPB Youth Community. Thanks for the memories. Pete and Bev

I miss you... my friend.my love.my bradder.
May you rest easy.Love you!!


Mel always brought out the best in people. She was a sweet and caring person who would laugh at you if you tripped while walking down the sidewalk, then ask if you were ok.  I'm blessed to have known her and to have shared so many wonderful experiences with her.  I included one of my favorite pictures of her being a goofball during one of our camping trips in Big Sur.  She always knew how to make people smile...

I miss you Mel, until we meet again.

Melanie visited us in London 7 years ago and although brief, it was very memorable to everyone that met her.
We are all grateful to have spent time with her and know she will be missed immensely!

MelBro,

So many great memories that I will cherish. The time you recorded me swinging on a vine over a creek and it snapped, is probably my favorite memory with you because of how concerned you sounded even though you were laughing hysterically. That’s you a nutshell... caring and fun. You are dearly missed. So much love to you, bro. See you next lifetime. 💛

I remember the day I took this photo of you.You were helping Charlie getting ready for a fight and you put a beating on him.I walked in and said"Oh my God!This looks like something out of a Rocky movie" and you guys just started cracking up.You were a Warrior with a Big Heart.I watched you grow into a Great Boxing Coach. I'll never forget your Smile.Thank you for the memories...Much Love to you and your Family...

Coach Mel, 
It broke my heart to hear of your passing. I’ll always remember your smile, your corny jokes, and what an inspiration you were to me on and off the court.  The year you coached us was one of the best years of my high school life and I’ll never forget that. From the dancing/cheering  on the court, bonfires, pizza dates, to the serious talks about everything and anything, I know I can speak for all of us when I say that you were one damn amazing person and coach. My sincere condolences to every person you’ve touched. Rest easy.

Love you, Mel “bradder”! Thank you for your infectious smile and laugh! I’m so grateful I got to know you & will forever cherish the memory of our carpool ride to and from Palm Springs! Miss you, friend!

“Forever flying in the Braddership.” ❤️ 

I met Mel through the Summer Bridge program when she entered UCSD. She went from student, to student worker to friend. We’d talk about life and work and I was often inspired by her. She lived her life in an authentic way and I really admired her for that. My deepest condolences to everyone that loved her and were inspired by her as I was. 

You will be missed immensely, dear friend. We had some amazing adventures and I am honored to have been able to experience them with you. I will miss your quick wit and loko fun times. You were always an inspiration to many. You serve a mean pancit yo! Til we meet again... Rest easy, and be free. Love you always, forever will be missed. 

Such a sad time yet we have wonderful memories of Mel that we will treasure for ever. 
Mel brightened our life every time we saw her, such a full on bubbly person. 
We were lucky enough to have her visit us in England, we had a fantastic time travelling together as the picture hopefully shows. She made us laugh out loud on so many occasions. 
Mel brought us great fun and although we are so sad at her passing we hope and believe she is truly at peace. 
God bless you Auntie Emy & Uncle Gary

I love you & I’ll miss you so much😘❤️

I am sending you a dove to heaven, with a parcel on its wings. 
Be careful when you open it, it's full of beautiful things.
Inside are kisses, wrapped up in a million hugs. 
To say how much I love you, and send you all my love. 
I hold you close within my heart and there you will remain. 
To walk with me throughout my life, until we meet again.

Rest in peace my beautiful friend    🧡💛💙💚💜

CBB brought good things to my life, but one of the greatest things it brought me was you. You taught me so much and allowed me to experience a deep, meaningful, silly, and most loving friendship with you. We had great times boxing, going to Vegas for grappling competitions, and finding yummy spots to eat around SF. I loved every conversation we had and truly admired and loved you. May you Rest In Peace. 

Thank you, Mel for helping me be comfortable in my own skin, thank you for showing me a beautiful side of humanity and for the unconditional friendship.  
I will always be grateful with life, for crossing my path with yours. ❤️

We will always be grateful for the time we spent with Melanie. She became part of our family for a few years and was a welcome addition.  We wish the pain of her passing could be less for her friends and family. She will be greatly missed and we will always appreciate that we had a chance to laugh, talk with and get to know her. May she Rest In Peace.

Me-lala, although we have known each other a short amount of time, I thank you for your presence. Your smile provided comfort & your laugh confirmed welcomeness. You will be missed. Sending condolences, love & light to all of your family & loved ones during this time.

Dear Mel,

Your visit to the UK with Justine in 2012 was definitely a highlight of our time in London. The five of us met as shy strangers and parted as friends with some wonderful memories. We managed to fit lots of mischief into the time we all shared together. I’m glad our paths crossed. Thank you for the good times shared. Sending lots of love to your family during their time of sadness and loss. 

Love Megan xx

Dearest Mel,

I will never forget that camping trip where we hiked into a poison ivy bush and the crazy times we had at the water park acting like we were teenagers again! You were the one I would get excited to see when you’d come down  to visit Johtot and Heidi, because I knew we’d either have deep conversations or just laugh our butts off. You were an awesome friend and a role model to me, Mel. Thank you for the memories I will always cherish. 

Love, 
Erin Adapon

We will miss Melanie dearly. She was a very smart, beautiful and loving cousin who always had a beautiful smile.

I loved that you were always down to rough house with me, feed me carne asada fries when my parents disapproved to eventually them accepting it, sending me books especially my first tagalog book, being there for my parents when I was born so that you and I could have breakfast together in the mornings so they can sleep (newbs),  never changing my diapers because why anyways,  always telling me I'm special, taking the best selfies, and loving me unconditionally with all your heart.  Please watch over and protect me as I grow.  I love you so much auntie mel! 

Love Noahbear <3

Mel you are such a unique soul that will be missed dearly. Every time we hung out with everyone you would always pull me aside and ask me how life was and we’d go into a deep conversations about our futures. I will always treasure those conversations.  I love and miss you so much Melbert. No one will ever be as down or as cool as you.. 

Mel, thank you for being a kind, gentle, hilarious, compassionate being. When I was having a difficult feeling, you would remind me "whatever arises, love that". This quote you taught me became my mantra and has carried me through so much. Thank you, my friend. I will never forget our many walks, sharing hot cheetos + snacks, Philz coffee runs, boba, horoscoping, but most importantly the light you shared just by being yourself. You are so loved. Rest easy, friend. Love you. 

Thank you ate melanie, you were generous, kind, and loving to all of those around you, We miss you and We love you ate Melanie 😔

Thank you for being a wonderful co-worker and friend. I enjoyed traveling the country with you. I will always remember the millions of miles you made me walk through Brooklyn and all the hotel rooms we shared. Your smile and silly sense of humor will always remind with me dear friend. 

Thank you Mel for your great heart and sense of humor. You will be greatly missed. Thank you for the memories ❤️

Thankyou ate for the memories i loveyousomuch 😘 we will miss you 😘😘

Thank you Ate Melanie for visiting us here in the Philippines and for sharing your love with us. We love you and we will miss you. 

I know we don't hang out much but the time we did it was enjoyable and funny. Keep smiling Mel, keep smiling. You'll be missed by many. Rest in Peace!

My name is Dave Beza. In my spare time, I coach high school girls' volleyball and have been doing that for over 15 years. Mel was the person who introduced me to it. We were at a late night happy hour with mutual friends at TGIFridays across from UCSD. We were sitting across from each other and in talking, she mentioned she was going to coach volleyball at our old high school, Montgomery. I said "Oh that's cool. I wish I could do that" and she immediately replied "Do you want to?" She got me an interview with the head coach, Valerie.  I got the job (my very first coaching job) and it forever altered the course of my life. 

She was the most fun person I could have asked to start coaching with. She was an extreme joy to be around. She was so silly. We spent so much time cackling at each other's jokes in between games or on the sidelines. My favorite story, which I still tell to my players, is that I used to take the job too seriously. Once in a tight match, my frosh team was doing poorly. I took a time out and said something like "What are you doing out there?! Go back out there and either show me you know how to fight or keep doing what you're doing and just die out there on the court." Mel pulled me aside, chuckling and imitating me. "Are you gonna fight?! Or are you gonna die?!... But hey Dave, man, forreal you need to take it easy, hahaha." She was right. I apologized to the team after and we all had a good laugh at my expense. And now I always think of this moment when I feel like I'm taking volleyball too seriously or need to remind my players that we're just playing a game.

This is my favorite memory of Mel. I do have a few more memories of her, but suddenly feeling like I don't have enough. I hope sharing this provides someone some comfort.

Prayers and condolences to her family and all those who are feeling her loss.

Thank you for always being such a sweet soul to be around. And dancing salsa with me when I was terrible at it. You will be missed and always remembered. Rest in love darling.
