Rey Divinagracia
Rey Divinagracia passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 9, 2017 after a courageous fight with cancer. He was in the company of his wife Elvie, his son Relv Kent, and his mother Remedios.
Rey was born on August 7, 1973 in Barrido Ajuy Iloilo, the second child of Alejo and Remedios Divinagracia. He was an honour student in elementary school and went to Iloilo National High School after. He was able to finish college at the University of Iloilo with a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Engineering.
Rey was a devoted, loving husband and father. He met his wife Elvie when he was 19 and after a lengthy relationship they were married. Their marriage bore a son, Relv Kent Divinagracia.
His passion was in business. Rey was involved in many networking and traditional companies around Metro Manila where he would always play the role of speaker and motivated people. After his son was born, he returned to Iloilo where he could start their networking company with his good friend JM. Thereafter the venture went well and became successful.
In 2013, Rey and Kent came to Canada where they would rejoin Elvie, who had come to Canada earlier. Rey started working in housekeeping for the Saskatoon Convalescent Home for a year before moving on to the Royal University Hospital and St. Paul’s Hospital.
Rey was an adventurous, outgoing person with many different interests. He enjoyed karaoke. He was an athletic person, participating in many marathons and triathlons. Rey also loved nature, in fact he was an avid hunter in the Philippines and enthusiastic about fishing in Canada.
Through his life experience, Rey was able to impart his strong faith in God with scriptures. Friendships that was dear to his heart, shared with sincere love to his workplace and even strangers. He was able to build strong relationships with his friends and was able to treat them as family. Rey was an inspiration for those people who surrounded him, he was known for his unwavering faith to God that throughout his battle with cancer, he continued to praise & honor his Savior until his last breath. Just like an athlete pressing towards the goal and winning the prize, for him he won that prize, the prize of faithfulness and humility to His loving Savior Jesus Christ who gave him the hope and life everlasting in the next life.
He fought hard with cancer, persevered all the tests, procedures, chemotherapy / radiation treatments and even endured the excruciating pain from the disease but despite all he didn’t give up until his last breathe for his life and for his family.
Rey was very thankful for all the doctors, nurses, social workers, palliative care team, care aides and all the support staff for all their wonderful care throughout his journey in battling cancer. Lastly he would like to thank all our relatives, friends, colleagues, and church brethren for all their endless support, prayers, and love. He and his family are forever grateful.
Rather than mourn the loss of Rey, he wanted to celebrate his life.
