He passed away peacefully on December 22, 2025, after bravely enduring a long illness.

The family said that it has been comforted by the outpouring of messages, prayers and support received since the announcement of her father’s death, noting that he remained strong and dignified despite the health challenges he faced in recent years.

Memorial and burial programme

A memorial service will be held on Sunday, December 28, 2025, starting at 10:00 a.m. at Worldwide Gospel Church in Buruburu. The church is located along Rabai Road, next to the Rubis Petrol Station.
