1936 – 2026

Jaime G. Avecilla Jr., aged 89, passed away peacefully in Santa Clara, California, leaving behind a legacy of profound love, dedicated service, and cherished memories. He was the beloved husband of Zenaida R. Avecilla, age 85, with whom he shared a beautiful life.

Born in the Philippines, Jaime pursued higher education and graduated as a Medical Technologist. Early in his professional journey, he served his community through his work with the Census Bureau of the Philippines and was a proud, dedicated member of the Masons. Seeking new opportunities for his family, he later relocated to California, where he transitioned his skills into compassionate caregiving.

Throughout his career in the United States, he worked tirelessly as a Psychiatric Technician, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), and Home Health Aide (HHA), touching countless lives with his patience and empathy.

Beyond his professional achievements, Jaime possessed an unmatched zest for life. He found immense joy in the simple pleasures of the world and was often found roller skating, fishing, playing the harmonica, singing, and dancing. His infectious energy and artistic spirit brought warmth and laughter to every family gathering.

Jaime’s greatest pride and joy was his family. He is survived by his devoted wife, Zenaida, and their six children, who will continue to carry his legacy forward: Mary Zenjim (Jilly), 53; Margarette Jimzen (Jeni), 51; Moonwind Champion (Champ), 49; Maria Memejim (Mae), 47; James Mendell (James), 46; and Marc Moses (Marc), 43.
