Eduardo Velez Valebia

With profound sorrow and steadfast faith in God’s promise of eternal life, the family of Eduardo

“Eddie” Velez Valebia announces his peaceful passing on August 18, 2026, at the age of 84. He

was born on October 21, 1941.

Eddie departed this life quietly at home in his sleep, surrounded by the comfort and love of the

family and home he faithfully worked to provide. Though our hearts grieve his absence, we take

solace in the knowledge that he now rests in the loving presence of our Lord.

A retired aircraft mechanic, Eddie devoted 40 years of his life to skilled, honest work. He was a

man of few words, yet his life spoke clearly through his unwavering dedication, humble strength,

and generous heart. He was always ready to help family and friends in need, often giving quietly

and without expectation of recognition.

Eddie carried a tender dream in his heart: to one day own a small farm in the beautiful province

of Capiz, with cows and goats roaming peacefully on the land. That dream reflected the simple

and meaningful life he cherished—one rooted in family, hard work, generosity, and peace.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 63 years, Lydia Santos Valebia; his cherished children,

Glenn and Dinah Valebia, Jeanna Valebia, and Robert and Gladys Hill; his grandchildren, Justin,

Jeremy, and Jasmine Jaramillo, and Gabriele Hill; and his great-grandchildren, Sky and Theo

Jaramillo.

Eddie’s legacy will live on in the lives of those he loved and served. His quiet presence,

hardworking hands, and compassionate spirit will be remembered with deep gratitude and

enduring love.

May the Lord welcome him into His eternal kingdom and grant him rest from his labors.

*“Well done, good and faithful servant… Enter into the joy of your Lord.”*

— Matthew 25:23
