December 21, 1939 – September 18, 2025

Manuel Tesoro Madrid, who lived a life of adventure, dedication, and hard work, passed away peacefully on September 18, 2025, at the age of 85. Born on December 21, 1939, in Manila, Philippines, Manuel’s journey took him across the globe and led him to a life built on both professional and personal accomplishments.

In his early adulthood, Manuel served as a merchant marine, spending many years sailing and traveling across the world. His time at sea was a defining chapter of his life, and the experiences and places he encountered shaped his perspective and character.

Manuel later met his wife, Ester, in Victoria, BC, Canada, where they settled and started their family. He worked as an electrical engineer after his years at sea, and his commitment to his work was matched only by his strong sense of loyalty to those around him.

Survived by his wife, Ester, and their son, Jeffrey, Manuel’s life is remembered for his resilience, his sense of adventure, and his unwavering integrity.

Rest in peace, Manuel. Your legacy of strength, adventure, and quiet dignity will remain with us.
