Obituary of Mr. Edgardo Javillo
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Edgardo “Bong” Javillo on Monday, September 2nd, 2024 with his beloved wife, Dema (Pastrana) Javillo at his side.
Born and raised in Lalayat, San Jose, Batangas, Philippines, Bong was the loving husband of Dema for over 22 years. He was a beloved son to Ponciano Javillo and Azucena (Marinay) Javillo, and brother to Cornelio Javillo, Joselito Javillo, Arnold Javillo, and Jenelyn Javillo-Remo.
Bong brought light and laughter into the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him, his booming laugh will be greatly missed by the whole family, friends, and colleagues.
As a husband, Bong was a true partner, always standing by the side of his beloved wife, Dema, through every chapter of life. Their bond, built on love, trust, and mutual respect, was a shining example of a marriage filled with laughter, adventure, and unconditional support.
Bong was more than just a friend—he was a constant source of strength, joy, and inspiration. Whether in times of celebration or challenge, Bong had an uncanny ability to lift spirits and provide joy with his jokes, infectious smile, and unwavering loyalty.
Bong had a deep passion for the outdoors, spending his days tending to his garden and fishing in the peaceful waters that he loved so much. His garden was his sanctuary, where he nurtured life with care and dedication, growing everything from vibrant flowers to bountiful vegetables. He had a green thumb and a patient heart, always eager to share his knowledge and the fruits of his labor with family, friends, and neighbors.
Equally at peace by the water, Bong was an avid fisherman who could spend hours casting his line, waiting for the perfect catch. His patience and appreciation for nature mirrored his approach to life—steady, thoughtful, and filled with gratitude for the beauty of the world around him.
It is impossible to imagine life without his presence, but his memory will continue to guide and uplift us, as he always did in life.
Though Bong is no longer physically with us, his kindness, humor, and love will live on in each of us. The moments we shared will forever remain a part of who we are, and his impact on our lives will never fade.
