My heart goes out to you all. 

Dr. Clorina was the first DPT who gave me a chance to gain observation hours during the COVID times. He is just like you mentioned: kind, empathetic, and a strong leader. He was a very serious man, but when he joked, we all had a good time laughing with him. I last seen Dr. Clorina at the end of August 2021. It came as a surprise that he is no longer able to be apart of my journey, but he will remain near and dear, for he was the man who initially supported it. RIP Dr. Clorina. I hope I can make you proud now that I am going into my DPT program. Journey well in spirit.

You are loved always and forever my kuya Darwin. 
Kuya Bongbong as we called him, is not just my brother, but he was also my friend, my critic, my mentor, my helper, my source of encouragement. I am an OT today because of him. 
Kuya, thank you for everything. 
Kuya was a very loving husband and a father , a brother, son, friend, colleague and I think we all witnessed it, a very hard working man, loyal, generous, kind, compassionate, a God fearing man, very humble, very patient, had a very good sense of humour, he can brighten up somebody’s gloomy day. Even though we are miles away and a 7-8 hours time difference, he was always there for me, he will find time to speak to me, listen to me,  we laughed, we cried in all different levels. He thought me what true love and forgiveness meant. I can still hear him calling me “my Kalolit”. 
I remember, we always compared US and UK which is the best. Me and kuya knows the answer :-). 
My love to music and as well as the rest of my siblings will agree with me, TV programmes, movies ( except for horror movies), food, coffee and much more, kuya Bongbong was our great influencer. 
I will always keep in my heart and treasure everything that you thought me and all the memories we shared together. 
I miss you so much Kuya, I‘’m still in pain but I know we will meet again. 
I love you always and forever. 

For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide
even unto death."
-Psalm 48:14

"For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in
Christ Jesus our Lord."
- Romans 8:38-39

My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.  It was great working with you Darwin and you are missed 🙏🏾

It's a  blessing to have you as a cousin, a friend and a brother. Kuya bongbong you are no longer by my side , but forever in my heart. I love you and i will miss you forever.

I am beyond heart broken. My sincere condolences to Elaine, Miren, Miguel, and family/friends. Darwin was the first therapist I worked with at my first job as a baby OT. Darwin took me under his wing and molded me as a compassionate and empathic therapist. I have been honored and privileged to work along his side for several years. Darwin was my brother, friend, mentor, advocate, and best food critic. Darwin brought the fun and laughter to work everyday. Darwin never hesitated to tell me the truth and set me straight in a loving and funny way. He took me to my first philipino buffet and showed me all the yummy places to eat everyday during lunch. He also connected me with a network of prn places to work. Most of the time we would leave work to go work together at a prn job to do PT/OT evals together. At some point we worked at all the prn places together and I ended up having over 10 prn jobs to work at. I think a lot of my work ethics comes from him.  As a boss, he would often call me to help him out with evals. Even though I was exhausted I would still go help him because he called me and I knew he needed help. Darwin was one of the hardest working men I have EVER met. He worked so hard for his family and if you knew him, we all admired him for that. Darwin was one of a kind and this world will not be the same without my friend. Darwin, just know that we all love you brother. Until we meet again. Much love and respect, Dailen aka Boriqua (that’s what he use to call me). ❤️❤️

Darwin, our dear friend. We will surely miss you! Rest in peace 🕊️💟✝️

Darwin was the dearest person that always left you in stitches laughing. He was an inspiration to work with and it is an honor to have be a coworker with him, even though he called me sassy.  There are so many wonderful things to say about him.  The legacy he leaves behind is a testament to a life well lived. Elaine, Miren and Miguel, he loved you each deeply and spoke of you so much with the biggest smile always. My deepest sympathy to his family during this time. Such an amazing man. I will never forget Darwin and his infectious laughter.  I will echo his last words to me - I will see you again sometime, somewhere my friend. 
Sheila O'Rear, the sassy one

There’s no one like you , Darwin!!

Never has been, never will be!❤️

We love you and miss you more than you’ll ever know!!!❤️

Love you Darwin.  I will never forget your kindness when I was going through a hard time.  You were a great, caring boss who also made me laugh.  You will be greatly missed.

A loss like this is heartbreaking.  Darwin was a terrific colleague, boss, and friend.  He was a funny guy, and most vibrant person I’ve known.  I have so many cherished memories of him at work.  He was always so kind to me when we worked together, and I’ll never forget that.  I miss him deeply.  He always beamed with pride when he shared pictures and videos of his family (and Pepper).  I am truly sorry for your loss.  
May mercy and peace and love be increased to you. - Jude 1:2

Kuya Darwin  or we call him kuya Bongbong was kind,  responsible, smart and loving person. No dull moment when your with him because he will make you laughed for sure.
Kuya we know that you're in a better place with our Lord and no more pain from now on.  We will miss you and we love you so much kuya ❤️😥

Tita Elaine, Miren and Miguel, there are no words to describe this indescribable loss. Our hearts are with you. Tito Darwin’s life and memory is a blessing.

Darwin was a dear co-worker, friend, and a second brother to me. I have known him and Elaine  for at least 25 years  We never failed during that time to share a laugh when we ran into each other or worked together. I know that Darwin cared about his patients and co-workers as if they were his own family. He had a zest for life and it was evident everyday through his actions. I will always carry the funny memories that I had with Darwin. I sincerely hope that Elaine his family will find great comfort in knowing that he is resting in peace and surrounded by love and serenity . Prayers and love to the family. Sincerely, Marissa Bruton
