It is with great sorrow that our beloved Abel M. Babista passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family. His final moments reflected the way he lived his life — embraced by love, faith, and the people who meant the most to him.

Abel was a devoted and loving husband to Aida, a proud and caring father to Aibelle, Alyssa (& Rajeev), Allen (& Jamie), and a deeply cherished Lolo to Christian Kai, Penelope Grace, Amara Devi, Raya Luna and Tian Ayla. His family was his greatest joy and his proudest accomplishment. He found his truest happiness in the time spent together — sharing stories, laughter, meals around the table and in the quiet simple moments that meant the most.

Known for his kindness, humor, and generosity, Abel had a gift for making others feel welcome and valued. His warm smile, quick wit, and wisdom left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He was the kind of man who would offer help without hesitation and encouragement without being asked.

Abel lived with gratitude, compassion, and integrity, guided by his love for the Lord, his family, and his friends. His friendships were lifelong and meaningful, built on loyalty and genuine care.

Though he will be deeply missed, his legacy lives on in the values he instilled, the love and kindness he gave so freely, and the memories that will forever be treasured by those who loved him.

May he rest in eternal peace.
