Wilfredo (Jun) Melad Jr.

Kuya,

Ang daming buhay na binago mo, kasama na kami ni Jin. Ikaw ang nag push samin na simulan ang pag benta ng pagkain, at lage kang naka suporta sa amin ni jin, at sa bawat isa sa community natin dito. Ikaw ang glue namin. Ang dami naming naging kaibigan dahil sayo. Hindi pa nalalayo sa 3yrs mula nang nakilala ka namin, pero pakiramdam ko ikaw yung kuya na mula bata pa kami ay gabay ka na namin. Iba ka kuya!

Laban lang. Wag mong tipirin sarili mo. Hinay2x lang. Ipa sa Diyos mo yan. - ilang lang yan sa words of wisdom mo. Grabe ang influence ng positive mindset mo sa amin.

Nakaka miss ang kulitan, bardagulan at maritesan. You will surely be missed kuya. We are praying for your travel in the other side of the world, also for strength and resilience for ate Aya and your girls.

Ang swerte namin na naging parte kami sa circle na binuo mo. Berala will never be the same now. Pero sabi mo nga, laban lang 🫡✨

Nakakabigla ang mga pangyayari. Sa totoo lang nagulat kaming mag asawa.
Salamat sa Panginoon sa buhay mo, lagi kang mabait and very positive sa outlook sa buhay pag nagkikita tayo.kwentuhan at palabati pa.
Maraming salamat Jun. Mamimiss ka namin
Hanggan sa muli !
Mahigpit na yakap and taos pusong pakikiramay Kay Aya, Jaeda and Yanni at Melad Family
Rest in Peace!

Kuya Jun, up to know we still could not believe it. I can still hear your gentle voice in my head. I am blessed that when I arrived here in Au, you and you are my first family here.

I still remembered our first Christmas here. You all wait for me to celebrate. Thank you for being a Kuya (Kuya ng lahat).

Your advised and encouragements when I was still in my student visa. You always say, “ Laban lang!”. You never judged and you still the same since the first time I met you.

We saw how great and devoted you are as a Tatay. Do not worry, as many will look after ate Aya and the kiddos.

We will miss and remember you always. No more pain and heaven gained an angel.

Kuya Jun and family were always welcoming. I still can't believe kuya jun passed away.

Maraming salamat sa lahat kuya Jun pati sa pagtulong mo sa sister ko and sa family namin pg nabisita ka sa inyo.

You are with the Lord. Rest in paradis,e kuya Jun and you will be missed.

To our Kuya jun,

You've been our kuya/father figure here in AU since 2019 as bagong dating na international student 1 week after iopen yung filo shop you made us feel welcome and at home, checking on us during pandemic, everyday dadaan kame sa shop para mag good morning, tatambay after work and day off manonood NBA game sabay taya SB, will miss your organise basketball games, your inspirational stories and words of encouragement at times na pagod na kme ni Lj you would always say "Nabasa ka na sisilong ka pa? tuloy nyo lang laban". Last bday mo you express how proud of you as we survived uni journey together like a proud father.

Our sincerest condolences to ate aya, jaeda, yani and Melad family, praying for your comfort and strength in this difficult time.

Hi Kuya Jun,

Even though I was never close to you and your family just want to say thank you for taking care of my bff Mae and treating her as a family here in Au. I have heard a lot of good stories about you and ate Aya. You will surely be missed by everyone!!
RIP Kuya June. Heaven gained another Angel 🙏🤍

Kuya Jun,

You are one of the most genuine and positive person na nakasama ko. Thank you is an understatement sa lahat ng kabutihan na ipinakita nyo sa akin ni Ate Aya. Kinupkop and you treated me more than Family and I will be forever grateful. Naalala ko nung nagsisimula pa lang ako dito sa Aus, may mga times na napanghihinaan na ako ng loob pero ang dami mong words of encouragement and you will always say "Laban lang Er".

You will surely be missed and will be forever in our hearts.

Pagmamahal at mahigpit na Yakap Ate Ay, Jaeda and Yani. Tita Era will always be here, always got you.

Back in 2018, nakilala ko kayo through Word of Hope Church.
Student pa lang ako nun, at pag nadidiscourage na ko sa journey, lagi mong sinasabi, “Laban lang, magiging citizen ka din one day.”
Sayo kami nagkwe-kwento ni Joy ng mga cheeky moments namin — yung mga time na nagd-drive kami nang walang nagtuturo - naasar ka kasi sabi mo delikado ginagawa namin.
Sayo rin ako nagtatanong pag tungkol sa mga driver’s licence na tanong.

Salamat, Jun ha. When I heard about the news, all I thought of was — isa ka sa mga tao na nag-encourage sakin dito sa Australia na lumaban lang.

Jun, you have fought the good fight, and have finished the race, and have kept the faith.
Until we meet again, friend. Thank you.

Gone too soon pre and I am still comprehending the loss as the game we had in August turned to be our last meeting. You were the friend to all and showed positive attitude in life. Until we meet again.

Dear Kuya,

The best Kuya of all time, thank you so much sa mga advices and all kuya. Alam mo na mahal kita as my big brother and di ko malilimutan ang mga Oras na magkasama tayo Kuya Jun.

Kuya di na talaga kita makakasama tumogtog sa Church at kumain sa chubby buns, berala noodle house at sa malatang wala na din akong kasama na katulad mo na maglalaro ng basketball. Wala na magsasabi saakin na MIKE KAYA MO YAN. Naalala ko tuloy nung magkasama tayo na tinanong mo ko na. Mike? Gawa kaya tayo ng Basketball group? And now, madami na tayo Kuya.

Kuya jun, thank you for the more than 10 years of friendship kahit di man Tayo magkaano ano tinuring mo ako na isang kaibigan at kapatıd.

You’re always in my heart Kuya jun and thank you thank you so much for everything. I know magkikita kayo ni Baby Riley sa heaven ❤️

-Mike

when i look back to the time na nagsimula ang journey ko sa ministry sa australia, wala talaga akong ibang maisip kundi ikaw. it all started nung araw mismo ng kasal namin ni rex, 2019, parang divine intervention kasi first time namin pumunta ng berala nung umagang yon. habang nagpapagupit si rex, parang pinalakad ako ni Lord papunta sa isang pinoy store, at doon kita unang nakita. nagpatugtog ka ng “who am i” at doon nagsimula ang kwentuhan natin. naalala ko pa kung paano mo ako in-encourage na ipaglaban ang australia, dahil doon ka rin nagsimula. higit sa lahat, ikaw ang nagdala sa amin sa church na naging pamilya namin. galing ako sa isang malungkot na ministry sa pilipinas, pero ikaw ang nagsabi na “sigurado may rason si Lord bakit ka nandito.” kuya jun, salamat sa buhay mo na hindi mo ipinagdamot, sa oras at puso mong ibinahagi sa amin. malayo man kami pero ramdam namin ang bigat at kirot ng pagkawala mo. hindi ko maisip kung paano sina ate aya, si jaeda, at yanni sa bawat umagang wala ka. pero diba, sa lahat ng sakit at luha, nothing compares to the joy that is coming. mahirap mang maintindihan ngayon, pero sabi mo nga, laban lang.

we love you kuya jun, salamat sa lahat. you fought a good fight of faith, kuya jun. you finished the race and kept the faith. hanggang sa muli nating pagkikita sa piling ni Jesus!

Kuya Jun,

Nakakabigla ang mga pangyayari. Salamat sa Panginoon sa buhay mo, lagi kang nakangiti and very positive sa outlook sa buhay pag nagkikita tau. Maraming makakamiss sayo sigurado, lalo na ang warm and smiley face mo na pagbati sa shop. Mapalad ang mga taong nakakilala sayo. Hanggang sa muli kuya!

Mahigpit na yakap and taos pusong pakikiramay Ate Aya, Jaeda and Yanni and sa buong family ninyo.

Kuya Jun,

Gang ngayon d pa rin ako makapaniwala na wala ka na :( sa sobrang positive at masayahin mong tao d namin alam na maypinagdadaanan ka na pala :(.
Sorry d kame naka dalaw sayo sa ospital.

Salamat sa pagiging mentor, influencer, at pagiging kuya sa aming mga bagong salta dito sa Australia. Na alala ko pa na masayang masaya ka nung lumabas na visa ko at nakahanap ako ng unang trabaho dito sa Sydney while on student visa. Always mo akong sinasabihan na “go ko lang ng go mike” “diba sabi ko sayo?”.
Huling payo mo sakin is mag uber drive while may extra time at excited ako nabalikan ka sa shop at ipakita ang kita ko sa unang bwan ko sa paguuber drive.

Salamat kuya sa lahat lahat. Mamimiss ka namin ni Janice sa every doctor’s appointment namin sa Berala.

We love you! Rest in peace kuya! Till we meet again!
Hugs Aya, Jaeda and Yanni.

Kuya Jun, since the day i first played on your first organised basketball game, i knew you were something special. You made me feel welcome not just as a good friend but as a brother. Since then you've always been there giving big brother advises, supported us in every way. You always have positive attitude towards any problem "basta pre! Go lang nang go yan!" You've been and will always be that big brother i never had. Thank you for the friendship and brotherly love. I will miss our conversations everytime i visit you at the shop. No more pain kuya. Unlimited basketball with Kobe our idol. Rest in paradise big brother!💕🙏🏀👟 - another mamba signing out.

Jun, salamat sa pagbbigay ng encouragement sa mga gaya kong naging student dto sa Sydney. Lagi mo ngang sinasabi laban lang. Salamat sa pagWelcome sa parents ko dto sa Sydney, salamat sa tulong nyo ni Ay nung kinasal kmi ni Mike at pagbigay ng lollies/toys kay Mathis sa shop, hehe! pasensya na di man lng kami nakadalaw sa ospital. We love you and your family Jun❤️❤️❤️

Pre, salamat sa lahat. Kahit 8 years palang tayong magkakilala, isa ka sa gumawa ng impact sa buhay namen dito sa Sydney. Sa nagpapalakas ng loob naming mag asawa, sa pagiging ninong ni Jared at sa pagiging pamilya namen dito, ma mimiss ka namen. Wala na yung promotor ng long drive, boys movie night at bucks night. Andito lang kami for Aya and the girls. Hindi ka lang kaibigan, pre. Kapamilya na namen kayo.

It’s hard to find the right words for the kind of loss that leaves such a deep hole in our hearts. You weren’t just a friend, you were like a big brother to me. From the moment I met you, you included me in your family, and that’s something I’ll never forget.
You had this rare gift of making everyone feel welcome, loved, and safe. Your presence brought laughter and warmth wherever you went.
But even through the pain, I hold onto the beautiful 12 years of friendship. You left behind more than just memories, you left a piece of yourself in every person who crossed paths with you. You may be gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.
Until we meet again, we know that you are already with our Creator in heaven. God gained another angels with him. You will forever be loved, missed, and remembered Jun. 💜💛

Jun, I know you are with your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I wont forget na tuwing mapapadaan kami ni Simon sa shops, lage mo kinakamusta sila mama at papa lalo na ang mga bata. Nung namatay ang daddy nila, you even gave them treats sa tindahin without allowing us to pay. I remembered, it brought a smile to their faces. I will never forget that. We are all brokenhearted but you are in a better place now. You are with Jesus. You have fought a good fight of faith and you have touch so many lives in your simple ways and for just being you. We will always be here for Aya and the girls. We will see you again.

Salamat sa lahat kuya Jun. Isa kang sandalan ng mga tao na nakikilala mo. You naturally attract people with your easy-going vibes and positive energy. Malaking pasasalamat ko sayo and the entire Auburn family, for taking care of Mae nung nag uumpisa pa lang sya dito. Kahit na nag uumpisa ka pa lang din nun, hindi ka nag dalawang isip kupkupin sya as your own. And for treating me as your own brother din when I moved here. Isa kang kuya ng bayan, kuya Jun. Salamat sa pagkalinga at pag kupkop. We love you kuya, thank you for fighting to the end. Cge, laro na kayo ng basketball ni Kobe…

Kuya Jun,

Thank you for being such a good friend to our brother, Mark. I will always remember your kindness during our family’s most difficult times. You and your loved ones will always be family to us. I pray for the peace of your soul, and may your family find comfort in God’s words and promises. You will be deeply missed, Kuya Jun.

Mahal kita Kuya ❤️ pangako walang magbabago, I will always be here for Ate Aya, Jaeda and Yanni. Salamat at hindi mo ako hinayaan magisa nung mga panahon na naguumpisa palang ako dito sa Sydney at tinanggap nyo ako sa family nyo. I will forever miss you Kuya 💔😞 no more pain

I will never forget our short but sensible conversations everytime I pass by the shop. You’re simplicity and humility made you standout from the rest.

Kuya jun you will always be a light to everyone you meet i will always appreciate how kind and thoughtful you are to us and to treat us like your own brothers. I will never forget your positive attitude towards life and how you have been a pillar and inspiration to everyone of us, you will be dearly missed we love you-from vince and lim family

As promised ddy. 💔
