Rid Velasco, Philippines—Community Remembers a Loving Father and Faithful Servant

Rid Velasco, a beloved father, husband, and deeply faithful follower of Christ, passed away on August 25, 2024. His daughter, Janna Barb, has organized a fundraiser to help support the family with medical, funeral, and memorial expenses. The Velasco family is grieving the loss of a man known for his generosity, kindness, and commitment to helping those in need.

Rid was not only a loving father but also a mentor and friend to many. Throughout his life, he dedicated himself to serving others, traveling to remote areas to provide food, clothing, and spiritual guidance to those in need. His strong faith guided his actions, and his impact on those he helped will not be forgotten.

In the months before his passing, Rid had the opportunity to reunite with his children and grandchildren in Canada and the United States after a decade apart. Though this family reunion was bittersweet, it brought joy to him and his loved ones. Upon returning to the Philippines, Rid was hospitalized and, despite the family’s hopes, he passed away shortly after.

To assist the Velasco family during this difficult time, Janna Barb has created a GoFundMe page to raise funds for the expenses tied to Rid’s passing. The fundraiser seeks support for medical, funeral, and cemetery costs. Donations, no matter how small, are greatly appreciated, and the family also asks for prayers for strength and comfort.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Velasco family. May Rid’s memory live on, and may his family find peace during this time of mourning.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Velasco family.
