Dear Ninong Joe,
I will miss your practical sense of humor and long chit chats.
It will never be the same without you.
You are the kindest, witty, compassionate and practical human being we’ve ever had in our lives.
Too bad you went ahead of us too soon. I’m sending all my prayers and wishes for you.
Love,
Annilov Vin Pahm

Dear Elizabeth & Elaiza,
I’m deeply sorry to hear your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I pray that the Lord will bring you comfort and strength during this difficult time of sorrow. May Jomar rest in peace. “The song is ended but the melody lingers on.”
Dear cousin/brother Joel,
We are cousins by relation but you are a brother in my heart. Your sudden demise left us with pain and sorrow beyond measure and although we prayed for a miracle that day, God had other plans… and that, we have to accept. I don’t know how to say goodbye to you my dear Joel. I only know that you will forever live in our hearts, our memories and we will always cherish the legacy you have left behind.
Growing up with you was filled with love, laughter, adventures and occasional mishaps and childish squabbles. But you always manage to make me feel like a winner, even if I feel that I have lost. Like the time you were teaching me how to play cards at Lido Beach, when the loser drinks a shot of water, I must have drank a gallon of water! I never felt that I lost the game though, you simply told me I needed “more practice”, then we laughed our hearts away. When we lost the singing competition, it was not because I did not sing well, it was because the person playing the guitar made us change the song. He made us lose. A few of our many happy memories.
My boys often wait for you to wake up when we visit Cavite so you can let them in your room where you kept your “baul” filled with your childhood toys and happily played with them or show them how to make bubbles with gumamela flowers/leaves and tickle them endlessly. Our “cool uncle” Basil would say.
Your legacy of caring, gentleness, generosity and your heart so pure and full of love for us, specially Liza, Elaiza, Tia Betty, Marie and Arlene. We will forever miss the sound of your voice singing happy birthday to us.
Although you are not here physically, you will forever live in our hearts… I love you my dear cousin/brother… until we meet again
Your “other” sister,
Cynthia
Dear Ninong Joe,
We miss you. 😭
Love,
Samuel Pahm
To our dearest Joel,
Bakit sa loob ng banyo mo ko dinalaw? Mabiro ka pa din talaga.
We will forever LOVE and MISS you. All our memories with you will be etched in our hearts and minds. I know you are in peace and will soon be at the best place with THE LORD.
Maraming Salamat! Hanggang sa muli Kuya Joel!
Please accept our most sincere condolences.
Lubos na nakikiramay.
WeeGee & Ella Aragon
In was so brokenheartd when you passed away so soon. Grieved for the loss of my favorite nephew.
I acted as a father to you and your sisters specially when you needed one. We were happy singing together, laughing and joking merrily at home in 743 Lt. Mario Castro St.
Gone were those days and it’s all memories and you went to a journey no one has never tread before.
God has plans for you and for all of us. You will pave the way for our coming. Tho’ your physical body is absent, your spirit is with us.
Rest in peace Joel… till we meet again.
Love you,
Tio Nesting
Jomar was more than a son-in-law—he was family. His love for Liza was unwavering, a true example of devotion. Their bond was one of true partnership and unwavering commitment. He stood by her side with love, strength, and tenderness, showing the world what it means to be a devoted husband. Together, they built a family full of warmth and joy, raising a beautiful daughter who will forever carry his love and wisdom within her.
As a father to Elaiza, he was everything a child could ever hope for – caring, patient, and endlessly proud. His love will live on through her and the cherished memories they shared.
Though his time with us was too short, Jomar left a lasting impact. His gentle spirit, generous heart, and quiet strength will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
Rest in peace, dear Jomar. You will always be in our hearts.
Mamu
Jomar’s heart was full of love, and his actions always reflected that.
He loved our sister, Ate Liza, with a depth and devotion that was inspiring. We saw how happy he made her, and for that, we will always be grateful. He was also a wonderful father to our dearest niece, Elaiza.
Jomar wasn’t just a good man—he was an extraordinary one. He showed us all how to cherish family and how to find beauty in the small moments of life. Though he’s no longer with us, we will always treasure the memories we shared Rest in God’s loving arms, Jomar. You’ll forever be in our hearts, our favorite brother-in-law.

Dearest Ninong Joel,
I am grateful for you. You are the best Ninong one could have.
As a child, I often saw you in Christmas. You were like Santa Claus to me. And after the holidays, you had to go back home to Saudi or Canada, i remember that i cried a lot. i was unconsolable, because I missed you.
As a grown up, the feeling remains the same, if not more. I was deeply shocked and saddened by your sudden goodbye. However now, you are simply not going back to Saudi or Canada. I believe you are already truly at home, with our Godly Creator.
You’ve taught me to always accept God’s will, so I trust you are in a better resting place now.
Whenever i see the Rudolph Christmas Toys you have given me, it reminds me of the happy memories of my childhood with you. In our conversations as of late, I will always remember your advise and all the moments you were present in my life. Thank you for giving me strength and support thru all these years.
Praying for your soul and peace. I love you Ninong Joel!
Jomar, I feel so sad with your passing… but your love and laughter will always be in my heart.
Liza and Eliza, may you find comfort in Jomar’s love and laughter. May that envelop you during this difficult time and always.
May you always feel God’s loving presence and His warm embrace.
Dearest Joel,
YOU are ONE of the very very FEW Nicest, Gentle, Caring, Loving, Kindest, Coolest and Decent Person I ever met in my life.
Sayang, you were gone too soon..
I know you are destined to go to our Almighty God our Heavenly Father because you are really a very very Good and Wonderful Person indeed!
Rest in Peace Joel.
It was with the deepest sadness and shock that i heard of the untimely passing of Jomar.
I want to pass on my deepest condolences for your loss.
Patrick
Jom, no words can describe the great loss we felt with your untimely passing. You were the real definition of a true friend, even a brother and Liza as sister to us. The joyous moments that both our families had over the years, with you being the primary instigator of fun along with that infectious laughter, will deeply be missed.
Rest assured that you may be gone physically but your legacy will stay in our hearts forever.
Rest in peace, our dearest friend and brother.
Liz and Elaiza, we know we can’t make your pain go away, but like we said, we’re always here for you. Looking forward to continue keeping Jom’s legacy with our annual family tradition.
With love and prayers,
Bernie, Ann, Brenn and Bryce
“Goodbye, Tito Jomar. I will always smile when I think of you and the energy you have brought to all of us. Thank you for everything Tito Jomar. You will never truly be gone – you will always live on in our hearts and prayers, and the impact you had on everyone who has ever known you will live on forever. I love you Tito Jomar, I hope you are smiling down on us when you see this from Heaven.”
We are very sad to hear about Jomar’s passing… We had so many good memories together going way back when we were colleagues in Riyadh. I hope he is now in peace.
Please accept our deepest sympathies.
Jay and Beth Mendiola
Rest in peace Tito Jomar, thank you for being so bubbly and always so welcoming. I hope you find peace and happiness in Heaven and bless your heart as well as your family.

Dear Liza and Elaiza, our sincere condolences, love and prayers to you. We pray you find peace and comfort as days pass by.
We are saddened and shocked to hear that you have passed away, Kuya / Tito Jomar. We will miss your joyful presence and your wonderful voice as a member of our choir. We will remember you every time we sing with the choir with Ate Liza and Elaiza. We will remember you as the loving and devout husband and father. We’re glad to have known you a little bit more over the past few months and we will miss you a lot. Lots of love, Julianne, Catherine, Allen and Rommel Velarde
Cousin Joel,
Being with you and your family during your last hour was a blessing and hope you felt all the love we have for you. It pains me double seeing another loved one pass as I just lost Kris. But I know God will keep you with Him. Send my kisses to all our family. May you rest in peace.
Liza and Elaiza,
Joel’s service was very nice and comforting to know he is ready to meet our Lord. May you find peace and comfort in the family and God’s love for your deep loss. We will be praying for you both always. Feel free to visit us in Chicago anytime.
Rest in peace Kuya Joel.
Even if we have not seen each other through these years but I will never ever forget the times spent whenever we visit Nanay B.
Our sincerest condolonces to all.
Dear Liza and Elaiza
Very shocked and sad to hear about the loss of Joel. Please accept our sincere condolences at this time . Praying that the almighty grant you the strength and keep you both in his loving embrace at this time . May Joel’s soul rest in peace .

It’s hard to put into words the ache I feel knowing that you’re no longer here. Sometimes, we assume we have all the time in the world, we take the people we love for granted. My biggest fault is always thinking that there is a next time. I regret not reaching out more often, not making plans to see each other and letting our busy days get in the way of reconnecting and bonding. There were moments where I thought about catching up but I let the days slip by. Now I wish I had those moments back. Even though we lost communication with each other, the memories we do share are precious to me. I think about the fun we had during our childhood whenever we visit Nanay B. I will cherish the memories we did make and hold onto them as tightly as I can. Rest in peace, Joel. I hope wherever you are, you know you were loved and how deeply you will be missed.
Until we meet again cousin,
Vanny
I am heartbroken to know I will never get to hear him pleasant voice which seemed to always be smiling through the phone again. It was a pleasure to work with him and to call him my friend.
May God give his family strength during this difficult time.
Jomar will be severely missed!
To Mommy Betty, Arlene, and Ann Marie,
I was shocked and saddened to learn of Joel’s untimely passing. I know he was a solid presence in your family as I have known him as such when I was a teenager in high school such a long time ago. He will be missed very much. I hope the happy and good times you all had with him will carry you until his memory is no longer painful but a blessing.
Mommy Betty, I hope my words will give you some level of comfort as you have comforted me when my mother passed away 23 years ago. I now can remember her during our happy and goofy times. It will take time but time does heal. I love you all and I am praying for all of you and for the repose of Joel’s soul.
God bless, Robert
Rest in heavenly peace JOEL 💐💐💐
I am shocked to learn the demise of my nephew JOEL. Where can I personally get in touch with Betty, Ann Marie or Arlene asap?
