Paul Aristheo Pablo Magno

Paul was born on March 24, 1979, in Quezon City, Philippines. A brilliant mind and a dedicated professional, over the past 18 years, he built a successful career as a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft, where his problem-solving skills and mentorship left a lasting impact on his colleagues.

Beyond his professional achievements, Paul was a man of immense passion, curiosity, and vitality. An avid sports fan, he passionately cheered for the San Antonio Spurs and stayed active through running, rowing, and swimming. He loved traveling and exploring the world, having recently returned from a memorable trip to Europe. Ever the adventurer, he was already looking forward to taking his family to visit the Chocolate Hills in the Philippines.

Above all, Paul was defined by his unwavering devotion to his family. He loved his wife and his two children deeply, serving as a rock of support and a constant source of joy in their lives. He was deeply involved in every part of his children's lives, making it his priority to spend as much time as possible with them. The family cherished their special routine of spending an hour together each night to sit back, talk, and catch up—a beautiful tradition they fondly called their "dream walk." Unfailingly reliable, generous, and gifted with a great sense of humor, Paul brought laughter and warmth wherever he went. A loving, devoted son and brother, and fiercely loyal to his friends, he had a rare ability to form lifelong connections, leaving a lasting impression of kindness on everyone he touched.

He is survived by his loving wife, Xiaoying (Sherry) Feng; his beloved children, Ella and Alexander Magno; his devoted parents, Teddy and Guia Magno; and his dear sisters, Portia Local and Phia Magno. He also leaves behind a vast circle of family, friends, and colleagues both in the United States and the Philippines who loved him dearly.
