Cenon Feranil Rojales

Cenon was a high school graduate and devoted much of his early professional life to Don Severino Agricultural College in Indang, Cavite, where he served as a Nursery Foreman. He was widely respected for his expertise in plant propagation and for his dedication to teaching students proper plant care. He was also a proud member of the fraternal organization of Freemasonry.

In 1976, at the age of 51, Cenon and his beloved wife, Concordia, immigrated to the United States, settling in San Diego, California.

Determined to provide for his family and reunite them, he worked tirelessly to establish himself and secure the means to petition his children in the Philippines. Over the years, he held various jobs, including gas station attendant, fishery plant processor alongside his wife, janitor at the San Diego Union-Tribune, and later at the San Diego Convention Center, where he eventually retired

Cenon was a hardworking man, a devoted father, and a steadfast provider. He lived a life marked by discipline and self-care, remaining remarkably healthy and never requiring hospitalization until the age of 99. Outside of work, he found joy in singing and visiting casinos, where he especially enjoyed playing slot machines and, more often than not, winning.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Concordia; his son, Ronaldo; his daughter, Lourdes; and his son-in-law, Floro. He is survived by his loving children: Letty; Ricardo (Malu); Rodante (Myrna); Lizabel (Bernd); Rogelio (Lita; and Rustico (Abbigail); along with seventeen grandchildren and twenty-six great-grandchildren.

Ama, you may be gone from our sight, but you are never gone from our hearts.
