The community of Bulua is mourning the death of Gil Cua, a beloved husband, father, and family man who passed away after a courageous 17-year battle with leukemia.
His death was shared by his wife, Psy Gopez Cua, who described a man defined by strength, courage, resilience, and unwavering faith throughout nearly two decades of illness. In her tribute, she said Gil never gave up, facing every challenge with grace and determination, even through the hardest seasons of his long medical fight. Though her words were filled with heartbreak, they also reflected deep admiration for the way he endured such a difficult journey while holding on to faith and love for his family.
The outpouring of condolences following his passing painted the picture of a man who was deeply loved by relatives, friends, and the wider community. Several messages referred to him simply as Gil, while one family tribute also called him Gerard, suggesting the name he was known by within his family circle. His wife thanked those who stood beside them through the years, including the people who prayed, visited, encouraged them, and remained faithful in support during the darkest parts of his illness. Their family now takes comfort in the belief that Gil is finally at peace, free from pain, and resting in the Lord’s care.
For those wishing to pay their respects, Gil is resting at Eternal Gardens Memorial Park, Bulua. As his family faces an immeasurable loss, he is being remembered as a man whose long fight was marked by faith, quiet endurance, and the love he shared with those closest to him.
