Birth date: Feb 1, 1948 Death date: Jan 25, 2021
On January 25, 2021, our Heavenly Father gave Florencio “Bong” Reyes his angel wings and called him into His Kingdom at the age of 72. Bong was born on February 1, 1948 as the 2nd youngest child of 9 to Pablo Reyes Sr. and Catalin Read Obituary
We were greatly grieved and saddened of Bong's untimely passing. For over 40 years, we have enjoyed deep friendship and brotherhood with him. His happy attitude is contagious and always make our trips together happy and full of fun.
Nelie, Rhona and Paul and all of his siblings and family,
our thoughts and prayers are with you and we extend our deepest sympathy.
From: Rudy & Emy Maranca
Amador, Catherine, Anthony and Jasmine are also sending their thoughts and
prayers.
Pare Bong, rest in peace with our Lord.
Tabongbong, I will surely miss you. May you enjoy God's presence in heaven. Amen, Emy.
So very saddened for the entire families’ loss as he was such a funny, kind and loving man who always showed how much he loved his family. My wife Michelle and I were lucky enough to meet him and celebrate family get togethers with him over the past few years. He always treated us as if we were his own kids.
Two memories come to mind for me of Bong (Always just called him Dad out of habit).
1. Around Christmas 2016, Rhona and Devin hosted a get together one weekend at their house. It was the first time Dad had met my future wife Michelle. I said “Dad, she’s a Filipina” and he said “ahhhh, ok ... let me speak with her”. Next thing, I look over at the dining table and he along with Mom are both talking to Michelle for quite some time. Michelle came over to me and said “Dad & Mom want to talk to you”. I walked over to the table and sat down. Dad / Bong asked “Are you serious about her? Do you love her? She’s a very nice girl, do not hurt her!” It was then that I realized the size of his enormous heart and kindness even to a stranger that he had just met.
2. This story I tell often. We were at a party at Thuy & Mui’s. I was in the kitchen with Devin & Dad. Dad reached for a large helping of hot papaya salad. Devin said “Be careful Dad, it’s super spicy!”. Dad glanced over at Mom and and nudged his head upward saying “Spicy like my wife“ while Mom nudged her head up acknowledging with a grin. Devin and I could not stop laughing...
We’re so very honored to have been able to spend so much time with you on this past summer vacation! We Love You Dad!!!!
Our sincerest condolences and prayers to the entire family.
Yen, Summer, Michelle & Terry
