JESUS ORENSE INGUA

December 27, 1951 - January 17, 2022

Jesus Orense Ingua of Brickell Miami passed away on the morning of January 17, 2022 at the age of 70 years old. Born in the Philippines and grew up working alongside his siblings to help their mom with food and bills, he gained experience that led him to work at a high-end restaurant, Via Mare, that catered to the Malacañang Palace. There, he attended to celebrities such as Brooke Shields, Liberacci, the former President Marcos, former First Lady Imelda Marcos, and even Pope John Paul II. He also met his wife, Aida, there and got married on September 1977. Not too long after they were blessed with their first son, Angelo, followed by Andrew, then Anthony. With all these blessings, Jesus took a job working in the cruise ships, traveled the world, then settled in the United States with his family. There, they were blessed with their last child, Jessalee. His children will remember him as a living and supportive father. He supported sports and music achievements. He loved playing golf and tennis as much as he loved karaoke. He was the life of the party and was such a great host that you would be so full from his delicious cooking and laughing in tears from his jokes. Life will definitely not be the same without him and we will truly miss that. At least now we can say that he’s no longer suffering in pain from his illness. He’s now at rest with his mom Bienvenida, dad Teodulo, brother Cesar, son Andrew, and pet Dory.
