Sharing this memory of Noel during the Knights and Maidens years in Santa Monica Parish in Minalin

- shared by Christie Naguit

I have fond  memories of Noel. He was a caring brother, a steady, loyal, and loving friend. He attended my ordination to the priesthood in 1991 at St. Vibiana’s Cathedral in Los Angeles. We kept in touch with each other over the years. His family is like my second family. His parents and siblings are always kind, supportive, and caring to me. 

I have happy memories of Noel when he and his family weee all living in New Jersey. I used to visit them there. I remember those days when Noel would wear fashionable clothes, loved to dance, and listen his favorite songs on the car radio.  One song that he loved to dance with his Mambo No. 5 with the lyrics:

… A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita's all I need
A little bit of Tina's what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica, here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man (ha!)

I remember him wearing an all white Miami Vice shirt, jacket, and pants. Oh, he was always fashionable. 

Noel, I see you now dancing in heaven with the angels and the saints. I will miss you so much. You no longer suffer. You have always been religious and close to God. You are with Him now. Keep us also in your prayers. 

I love you my friend. Rest in peace!

Fr. Rodel “Odey” Balagtas

🙏💕 In Loving Memory of our beloved brother, Kuya Noel (Koy Nhow) 🌸 ….

Your sudden departure left a void so deep,
In hearts you touched, in memories we keep.
A brother, a friend, a guiding light,
Your love will shine through darkest night.

You lived with kindness, a spirit so pure,
In every heart, your love will endure.
Cherished moments, laughter, and tears,
Will echo in our hearts for years.

Though you’ve gone to realms above,
You left a legacy of endless love.
In dreams, in whispers, we’ll meet again,
Until that day, in our hearts you remain. 🙏💕

May this poem bring some comfort and help to cherish his memory.

My deepest condolences to the Castro family. I am so sorry for your loss, Christine. May your brother Rest In Peace. 🌹
