Age 54, passed away on the morning of April 5, 2020. He was born on April 29, 1965 in Makati, Philippines, to his father, Joseph, and mother, Yolinda, who both preceded him in passing. He was the youngest of three children. He was a devout Catholic and a parishioner of Our Lady of Lourdes Church.
Edwin had a strong work ethic and he proudly worked for the FDNY and served at ground zero on 9/11 and later went on to work as an Operating Engineer for Local 15 for many years. Edwin lived his life to the fullest and enriched the lives of his friends and family with his boisterous laughter and sense of humor. He was always the life of the party and strongly valued togetherness. He enjoyed fishing, riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle, nature, his cabin, spending time with friends and family. He was an avid fan for the Mets and the Jets. He will be deeply missed by many.
Though your smile is gone forever,
And your hand we cannot touch.
Still we have so many memories,
Of the ones we loved so much.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in His keeping,
We have you in our hearts.
He is survived by his fiancé, Kathleen, his sister, Jocelyn, brother, Rommel, his nephews (Jomel and Kyle), nieces (Lilia, Lauren, Raquel, and Amanda), and his grand-nieces and nephew. A memorial service to celebrate Edwin’s life will be arranged at a later date. His internment will be at St. Mary’s Cemetery at Fresh Meadows, New York.
