Honor a Loving Father's Legacy Together

We are starting this GoFundMe on behalf of our beloved father, Edgardo De Leon. Recently, our dad was diagnosed with metastatic pancreaticobiliary adenocarcinoma, an aggressive form of cancer that was determined to be unresectable in July 2024. Since then, our family has been navigating the overwhelming emotional and financial challenges that come with such a diagnosis.

Our father is a hero to us in every sense of the word. He proudly served as a general in the Philippines, dedicating his life to his country and leading with honor and compassion. However, his greatest joy came from being a devoted and loving father to multiple children. He taught us to value family, integrity, and kindness—principles that continue to guide us every day.

Due to very poor prognosis, our father passed away on November 4, 2024. And his last wish was to bring his remains back home in the Philippines and to be buried beside our late mother. As family, we would like to have his final wish come true, however, it would cost minimum of $15,000.00, which - us, his children could not afford.

Aside from prayers, we are reaching out to our community for support during this time. Any contributions will go directly towards expenses to transport our father back home, allowing us to provide our father with the dignity and honor he deserves in his final moments and beyond.

Your generosity, whether through donations, prayers, or sharing this page, means the world to us. We want to make sure that our dad’s memory is celebrated in the way he lived his life—with love, strength, and honor.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your support during this incredibly difficult time.
