Wilfredo (Jun) Melad Jr.

Kuya Jun,

Until now, still can’t believe that you’re gone so fast. 💔

Thank you for 7 years of friendship na pinakita mo sakin since dumating ako sa Australia. Tumayo kang “kuya” sakin. Sa mga pangaral mo sakin, samin. that i would never forget. Thank you for the love, kindness, hospitality and more that you’ve given to a lot of people. Thank you for the short but meaningful and fruitful times that we have spent with me and claren.

I will miss each and everyday yung mga pag uusap natin sa shop mga roadtrips and plans in the future ni roland. Those happy nights we go out with kuya mark. ❤️

Your passing will leave a big emptiness on my heart. Those last words you said to me “I love you Bry”😭 i i wish i could say it more and more that i love you kuya!! I was asking claren if there is a chance to talk to you again.

Thank you kuya sa lahat lahat. Mahal na mahal ka namin ng auburn fam. As promised we will always be here for ate ahy, Jaeda and yanipot.❤️

I love you kuya Jun❤️

Bryan and Claren

Tribute to Jun AKA (Kobe) 🤍
Kobe Bryant once said that greatness isn’t just about talent — it’s about heart, dedication, and love for others. Those words perfectly describe our beloved Jun.
Jun was so many things — a devoted family man, a hard worker, caring, considerate, humble, kind, thoughtful, charismatic, funny, patient, strong, and so much more. He had countless good qualities — too many to name — but what stood out most was how naturally he carried them all.
He had a quiet strength, the kind that didn’t need to be spoken. Jun could make anyone feel comfortable in any situation. I first met him through my amazing wife, Fatima, who was my girlfriend at the time. That was over ten years ago, and I still remember how welcome he made me feel. It’s hard to describe — he had this calm presence that instantly put you at ease.
In my 47 years, I’ve never met anyone who could teach without teaching, and lead without leading. Nothing about Jun ever felt forced. His quiet, honest confidence made every moment with him enjoyable. He had this rare gift — the ability to make you feel special, accepted, and important, often without saying much at all.
I remember times at Word of Hope Church, when I was the only one who didn’t speak Tagalog. Without being asked, Jun would lean in and quietly explain what was being said, making sure I felt included. That was just who he was — thoughtful, selfless, and kind.
We shared so many wonderful memories together — Christmases, birthdays, overseas trips with family and friends. And of course, our love for basketball. He was a Kobe fan, and I was a Jordan fan. We both had sneaker collections, and somehow that created an unspoken bond between us.
But the truth is, everyone who knew Jun felt that bond. He had this incredible way of making each person feel like they had a special connection with him — and they did. That was his gift.
This is a difficult time for all of us, especially for his amazing wife Aya, and their two beautiful daughters, Jaeda and Gianna. Standing here today, speaking about him, is both an honour and a heartbreak. Yet even in this pain, I draw strength from his memory — strength to be a better man, to live with more kindness and patience, just as he did.
Jun’s passing is a painful reminder of how fragile life can be. But I know he would want us to find happiness and success in the days ahead. He never once raised his voice or lost his calm. He made everything look easy, even when it wasn’t. His smile, his laugh, his warmth — they were one of a kind.
We were all blessed to have known our Jun. Though his time with us was far too short, his memory will stay with us forever. Our hearts may be broken now, but we carry him within them — and in time, that love will help us heal.
As Psalm 34:18 reminds us: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and rescues those whose spirits are crushed.”
A big part of who Jun was — as a man, a husband, and a father — was because of his wonderful wife, Aya. Her unconditional love, faith, honesty, and strength shaped the man we all knew and loved. Everything good we saw in Jun was reflected in their love and in their two beautiful daughters, Jaeda and Gianna.
One of the last things Jun said to me was, “If something goes wrong, make sure my kids are taken care of.”
So, Aya, Jaeda, and Gianna as I said to him, I say again to you: “I got you.” And I know everyone here feels the same. We’re all here for you, today and always.
Love you forever, Jun.

Love,
Ben

Kuya Jun,

You’ve shown us how unpredictable life can be and how important it is to live it fully. I know you are in a better and peaceful place now, where there is no pain or sorrow, just pure joy.

Sobrang thank you sa lahat. I can’t express into words how broken I am since nawala ka. Mixed emotions, nandun yung realisation na hindi na kita makakasama dito, hindi na kita makakausap, wala na yung Kuya Jun na lagi ako looking forward to spend time with. Thank you for all the laughter and memories we’ve shared. Ma miss ko yun ng sobra sobra.

Kuya, you’ve showed us what it means to love selflessly, to stand by your partner and face every battle together. You and Ate Aya are a true example of strength, love and devotion.

I am so grateful sa pinagsamahan natin 🙏, you’ve been always there for me.

Thank you so much for wishing the best samin ni Emma. You, Ate Aya, Jaeda, and Gianna will always be a part of the Family we are building.

We love you very much Kuya Jun! Always. 🫡👊🤍

Jun,
I still can’t believe you’re gone. You’ve touched so many lives with your kindness, smile, and heart, and we’ll all deeply miss you. Thank you for being such a wonderful person and friend.

Rest in peace, Jun. You will never be forgotten. 💔

Paalam, Jun. Napakalungkot ng nabalitaan namin na naglakbay ka na papuntang langit. Ma mi-miss namin yung mata mong palaging tumatawa kahit sa malayo. Mahal na mahal ka namin.

Kuya Jun, I can never put into words how much I value you. You are an angel. You have always been my Kuya dito since nameet ko kayo. You’ve always checked in on me, iniinvite mo ko lagi kahit saan, para hindi ako mahomesick. Tapos kahit madalas di ako sumasama, lagi mo padin ako minemessage at kinukumusta pati family ko. Lahat ng stress ko sa work at sa visa, ikaw una kong nasasabihan Kuya, alam ko kasi na di ko kailangan magpretend na okay ako pag kausap kita, lagi mo pinapaalala na wag ako mahihiya sa inyo.

Thank you for encouraging me to stay sa AU Kuya, daming beses ko gusto sumuko pero lagi mo sinasabi sakin na mgiging okay din ang lahat, trust God, trust the process tapos lagi niyo ko tinutulungan. Di mo na ako naabutan maPR Kuya Jun, mamimiss ko msgs mo pati ung corny jokes mo 😣 Thank you for being my Kuya in every season. My family will always be deeply indebted to you and your family, alam niyo yan ni Ate Aya and kids. It will never be the same without you Kuya Jun. We’ll always remember and celebrate you. Your kindness was a reflection of God’s love and I trust you’re resting in the light of His love. We love you always Kuya.

Si Kuya Jun ang isa sa mga nakilala namin dito sa Australia na napaka bait at napaka positive ng outlook sa buhay, sa 2 years kong pag tira sa Berala at palaging dumadaan sa tindahan nila laging positive lang maririnig mo kay Kuya Jun, kahit wala akong bibilhin mag kkwentuhan muna saglit, mangangamusta sa buhay buhay tapos lagi lang niyang sasabihin “Laban lang. Wag susuko” everytime din na may bagong dating na kakilala, isa siya sa tinatanungan ko kung may alam siyang trabaho pwedeng magpasok. Lagi yan mag hahanap, mag tatanong tanong. Sobrang ready siyang tumulong. Gusto niya lahat umangat sa buhay. Salamat Kuya Jun! Marami kang natouch na buhay. May your soul rest in peace, Kuya Jun. Keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏾

Dear Aya, Jaeda, and Gianna,

I’m truly heartbroken over Jun’s passing.
Jun and I worked together at CK for almost four years, and during that time, Jun brought so much laughter, kindness, and warmth to everyone around.

Jun had the most caring heart — always putting others before himself, thinking of everyone’s happiness and comfort before his own. Jun’s selflessness and compassion touched so many lives.

It was truly my pleasure and blessing to have known Jun in my life.
Jun’s presence lit up every room and every heart touched. It’s hard to believe Jun is no longer here, but Jun’s light continues to shine — in our memories, our smiles, and the love left behind.

Heaven has welcomed a beautiful angel. Though Jun is no longer by our side, Jun’s gentle and loving spirit will always live on. Jun may be gone from this world, but will forever remain in our hearts — deeply loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten. 🤍

I hope God will give you strength and bless you with comfort and peace during this difficult time.

With love,
Risa

Jun,

When I read the message of your passing I was in shock and devastated in that moment. I could not believe you had passed. If I only knew the last time we spoke would be the last time, I would’ve given you the biggest hug. Every time I walk past the shop there will always be a hole in my heart from my friend gone. Rest in peace Jun, I will be missing you.

Jun, though you were gone too soon, the legacy you left behind and the lives you’ve touched will always matter the most. Sobrang bait na tao, grabe ang pakikisama. You will be missed by many. Saludo ako sayo Jun.

I first started working with Jun at a retail outlet back in 2016, shortly after I moved to Sydney. Those first few months were tough, but Jun was there for me every step of the way. He was like a big brother, kind, honest, and always ready to help. He deeply loved his family and carried himself with warmth and integrity. I can still hear him saying, “Trust the process, Mo.” I did, Jun! and it worked out, just like you said. It’s still hard to believe he’s no longer with us; he was so young and had so much more to give. Rest peacefully now, Jun, you’ll always be remembered.

Until now ang hirap parin paniwalaan ang nangyare, hindi ko ineexpect na it will come so fast. Kuya Jun maraming salamat sa lahat. Isa kang mabuting kaibigan. Isa ka sa taong kilala ko na magiging masaya para sa ibang tao pag nakamit nila yung pangarap nila sa buhay. Alam ko isa ka sa mga taong magiging proud once naging PR ako at naabot ko ang goal ko. Im glad nameet mo si Benjamin, hindi ka man nya nakilala I will tell him about you and the reason bakit marami akong sapatos 😂.
Kuya thank you sa mga pangaral, thank you sa mga words of wisdom and helping me focus on my goals. No good byes, but I know we will meet again. Rest easy kuya. We love you.

Dear Aya, Jaeda, and Gianna,
I’m heartbroken to hear about Jun passing. He was such an incredible man, and working alongside him was more than just a job it was a real privilege and honor. His kindness and humility were rare, and he had this amazing way of making everyone around him feel seen and supported. He was truly the heart of our team, a steady light that helped us through tough days.
But more than anything, he was a devoted family man. I remember how his whole face would light up whenever he talked about you, Aya, and his girls, Jaeda and Gianna. The love he had for you all was so clear and so deep it was inspiring to see.
I know this loss is huge, and there aren’t really words that can take away the pain. But I hope you find some comfort in knowing how much he meant to all of us and how much he will be remembered and missed. His kindness and the love he shared will always stay with us.
Please know I’m thinking of you and holding you close in my heart and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
With all my love and sympathy,
Fiona

Kuya Jun,

Maraming salamat sa tunay na pagkakaibigan. As Chandler grows, I’ll tell him stories about you, how kind you were, how you guided us, and how much you cared. You’ll always be a part of our lives and our memories. Rest well, Kuya Jun. You’ve done so much. Mahal ka namin.

Our deepest condolences to the wife and kids ni Jun. Nabigla talaga kami ng malaman namin na wala ka. Di ko rin alam paano ko sasabihin sa anak ko kasi nung nasa berala pa kami pag ayaw sumama sa pamimili ko anak ko sabihin niya “ i want tito Jun” kaya iniiwan ko sya kay Jun nahihiya ako pero sabi ni Jun ok lang daw kasi nagkwentuhan daw sila. Last year bumisita kami berala niyaya agad ng anak ko asawa ko gusto nya daw makita si tito jun nya. Di ko alam friends pala sila sa fb ni Jun and last week pala nagmessage sya kay Jun wala daw reply… Jun salamat talaga sa mga tulong mo sa amin mag asawa . Hindi man kami makapunta sa viewing mo ipagdadasal ka namin and hindi ka namin malilimutan😔😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Rest in peace our dear friend

We used to call him Parekoy. He was so kind, friendly, and easy to love. Even our mom, who only came here on a tourist visa, got close to him. He had this warmth that made everyone feel at home.

Thank you, Parekoy, for the love and laughter you shared. You’ll always be remembered. Rest in God’s loving hands.

I met Jun in his store in Berala. He was always warm and kind. Rest in peace.

Pareng Jun,

Eric aka Jack ❤️❤️❤️

Kuya Jun,

Thank you sa lahat ng mga advice mo. I remember nung nagsisimula palang ako dito sa Australia lage mo sinasabi "Je walang uuwi ng Pinas" di ka nagsasawa sabihin yan. At isa pang tumatak sa isip ko na sinabi mo sakin, "Je gumawa ka lang ng mabuti sa kapwa mo, kc pag nawala ka sa mundong ito. Ang maalala nila ung mga magagandang nagawa mo". Noong Pandemic, nag offer ka na gamitin ko sasakyan nyo pra mag Uber kc nag aalala ka na wala akong income nung International student palang ako at nag offer dn na magbantay ng shop. Na appreciate ko un lahat kuya Jun. I will be forever grateful to you kuya, though you're no longer with us, your spirit and laughter remain forever in my heart. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure.
Rest in paradise.

hello uncle jun, we know you’re in good hands now and free from pain. I just want to thank you for everything, Uncle Jun, especially for helping Papa and Kuya Tim get to Australia.
Thank you so much to you and Tita Aya for all the love, support, and kindness.
You’ll always be remembered, you’ll always be the greatest fan of Kobe, and you’ll always be one of the best uncle to your pamangkin, Mamba out 🖤 Rest easy, Uncle Jun.🐍

Hi kuya Jhun, thank you sa pagpapalakas ng loob namin ni Abby sa tuwing nagkikita tayo. Ikaw yung taong sobrang bait at napaka positive sa buhay. Consistent ka sa pagsasabi na laban lang at walang sukuan dito sa Australia. Sobrang thankful kaming lahat na may nakilala kaming Kuya Jhun sa Australia journey namin.

Kuya Jun,

Hanggang ngayon di pa rin namin lubos maisip na wala ka na, ang hirap hirap tanggapin :( Hindi man tayo close dahil si Kris naman talaga ang kaibigan mo pero ang bilis lang gumaan ng pakiramdam namin sayo dahil hindi lang kaibigan ang turing mo sa amin kundi kapamilya na din. Kelan lang tayo nagkakilala pero parang ang tagal tagal na nating magkakilala dahil napakabuti mo at tinanggap mo agad kami. Lagi ka nakangiti at parang walang bakas ng problema. Laging positibo ang awra mo, at yung mga payo mo lahat para sa ikabubuti namin. Maraming salamat dahil tinanggap mo kami sa shop ni hindi ka nag dalawang isip at buong buo ang suporta na binigay mo sa amin. Noong September 12 na pala ang huli nating pagkikita at nung panahon na yon patuloy pa rin ang pag encourage mo sa amin. The Berala shop will never be the same without you.

Kuya Jun, thank you for everything that you have done for us! I'm sure your family is so proud of the person you are, for the lasting impact you have on our lives. Our thoughts and prayers will always be with you and your family, and to all the lives of the people you've touched. You will always be in our hearts and you will always be remembered. Rest easy, until we meet again! 🤍🙏🏻

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.

Kuya we will always remember you as a man of integrity, optimistic, selfless, accommodating person and you have this kind of ability to make people around you feel seen, supported and comfortable. Maraming salamat sa lahat kuya no more pain, we know you're in a safe place now in heaven, playing with Kobe. Mahal ka namen kuya jun you will remain in our hearts. 🐍🕊️💜💛2️⃣4️⃣

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

Thank you Kuya Jhun, a very kind and loving person, a person who never forgets doing good for his family.. Rest now with the care of our loving God, your memories are forever memories.. we love you Kuya..

As promised ddy. 💔
