Dr. Alfonso V. Masangkay, 69, of Sequim, Washington, passed away on Saturday, October 17, 2026.
Born on October 30, 1956, Alfonso was the son of Nicolas and Maura Masangkay, both educators who served as his lifelong teachers, not only in the classroom but also in life. He earned his medical degree from the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery in Manila, Philippines. He went on to complete his residency at Metropolitan Hospital Center in New York and a fellowship in surgical pathology at North Shore University Hospital.
Alfonso enjoyed a long and distinguished career as a pathologist, during which he served as an inspector for the College of American Pathologists and as Laboratory Medical Director at Olympic Medical Center. He concluded his career with InCyte Diagnostics before retiring in 2024.
Above all, Alfonso was a devoted husband and father who worked tirelessly to provide for his family and ensure they were always well cared for. He is survived by his beloved wife of 44 years, Dr. Brenda Masangkay; his three children, Neil Masangkay (Rachel Slotcavage), Nicole Masangkay, and Allison Masangkay; and his brother, Leonardo Masangkay.
Outside of his professional life, Alfonso was an avid golfer, enthusiastic cook, and an endless source of dad jokes. He will be fondly remembered for his kindness, generous heart, and wonderful sense of humor.
Alfonso will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched.
