Roman D. Tibay, Jr.

Obituary

Roman D. Tibay, Jr., returned to the care of our Lord on Thursday, the 12th of November, 2020, shortly after his 76th birthday.

Known to those close to him by his childhood nickname Jott and the endearing term Kuya, which means “big brother”, until grandbabies having difficulty saying “Dad” started calling him “Bob”.

A mechanical engineer from Adamson University, 1967, Manila, Philippines, Roman was a respected leader at Filsyn and Litton Mills. As a hobby, he would work on automobiles. In his retirement years, he occupied himself working as an engineer for Omni Hotel.

Roman was an avid outdoorsman and spent lots of weekends biking, fishing and hunting. He collected guns, rifles – and watches! He loved street food and restaurant dining, being a passionate culinarian. His cooking is already missed!

A dedicated servant of our Lord, Roman devoted time, talent and treasure to his Catholic parish and fellowship groups: The Lord's Clay Vessel and Batis ng Buhay. He raised his family in the same love and service of God and community.

Predeceased by his parents Roman Sr. and Esmirna Sr, and sister Cynthia. Survived by his siblings Priscilla, Imelda, Norma, Ramon, Esmirna Jr., Rosemarie, and Romeo, his wife Cecilia, his children Eileen, Grace, Roman III, Laarni, Maria and Marlon, and grandchildren Gabriel, Miguel, Samuelle, Rafael, Giancarlo, Federico, Isabel, Andrea, Dominik, Roman IV, Benedict, Lorenzo and Anaiah.
