Pacifico Zepeda Aguiao Jr's Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Pacifico Zepeda Aguiao Jr. on October 17, 2024, at the age of 88 in Vacaville, CA. A resident of Fairfield, CA, Pacifico was born on September 22, 1936, in Taytay, Rizal, Philippines, to Pacifico Belarde Aguiao and Severina Calderon Aguiao. He was the eldest of four siblings.
Pacifico is a graduate of Far Eastern University, Philippines in 1968 with a Bachelor of Science in Commerce.
In May 1972, Pacifico migrated to the United States, beginning his career as a clerk in the State Department of Public Works. He met his future wife, Onesima, shortly after his arrival at a gathering by a mutual friend. Their swift courtship led to their marriage on January 20, 1973.
Pacifico is survived by his devoted and caring wife of nearly 52 years Onesima Bandoja Aguiao. His children: Jerome Anthony (who predeceased him) and daughter-in-law Jenny; Jeremiah Emmanuel and daughter-in-law Bernadette; and his beloved grandchildren, Chloe Jane, James, and Lukas. He also leaves behind his two sisters, Aurora Aguiao Bernardino, Erlinda Aguiao, Sister-in-law Lourdes Sagon Aguiao and their children. Predeceased by his brother Reynaldo Aguiao and Brother-in-law Gonzalo Bernardino II.
Pacifico continued his professional journey in the United States with the City and County of San Francisco, where he dedicated 27 years to various roles, ultimately retiring from the Laguna Honda Hospital Admission Office in February 2001. Tragically, shortly after his retirement, he suffered a stroke in November 2021 that left him permanently disabled.
A lover of music, dancing, and traveling, Pacifico was known for his quiet strength, resilience in the face of challenges, unwavering dedication to his family and dedication to work. He will be missed deeply by all who knew and loved him.
