It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ronjayson "Ron" Talplacido, at the age of 39, on March 16, 2026. Ron departed peacefully after a courageous and valiant fight with cancer, leaving behind a legacy of love that will forever be cherished. Born on August 15, 1986, to his beloved parents, Maria and Rolando Talplacido, Ron's journey was marked by deep connections and unwavering devotion. After dedicating himself to a degree in Nursing, he found his calling as a registered nurse in the United Arab Emirates, where his warm spirit drew many friends and, most beautifully, led him to his soulmate, Nica. Together, Ron and Nica built a world of joy, blessed by their beautiful daughter, MJ, who was truly a heaven on earth in Ron's eyes.

Ronjayson, affectionately known as Ron, was more than just a family member; he was the very heart of his loved ones. He was the best dad, whose adoration for his only daughter knew no bounds, the faithful husband to his cherished wife, a favorite first-born son, a loving brother, a sweet nephew, a sincere friend, a cool boss, and a genuine light that illuminated the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him. His kindness, his unwavering loyalty, and his gentle spirit touched countless souls, leaving an indelible mark. He was an easygoing soul, always ready with happy stories that brought immense joy and laughter to those around him, filling every room with warmth.

Though Ron was gentle in spirit, he displayed an extraordinary might in his long and hard-fought battle with cancer. While our hearts ache with the knowledge that we will miss him every single day, we find solace

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted

and saves those who are crushed in spirit. - Psalm 34:18
