Embracing Life's Simple Joys: Remembering Marlo V. Ocreto July 9th, 1968 - July 14th, 2025 "Let's eat!" From the lush landscapes of the Philippines to the tranquil shores of Honolulu, Hawaii, Marlo Ocreto navigated life with a h Read Obituary
Regardless of the event or activity, Uncle Marlo always asked if we needed help.
I met uncle Marlo April this year when I was finally decided to learn to drive. As an adult seeking an instructor, I find it hard to find who is willing to take me as a student. I am a mom who has a special needs kid that needs to go to therapy almost everyday and it will be very helpful if I can drive to the places to take my son. Of all people I called, being desperate, only uncle Marlo showed willingness to take me inspite of his busy schedule, he managed to find a spot for me. And in just couple sessions, I learned a lot from him. He even gives some life advice, he talks like he is a father to me. He believes that I can do it, and the last session I had with him, he told me in tagalog "sige nga patingin nga ako kung kaya mo na, wag ka matakot kaya mo yan at kailangan mo yan". And now I am a liscensed driver. Never would I thought I will be because I'm always scared to try. I am so saddened when I heard the news that he is gone. My memory of him is really short but I will never forget his kindness and willingness to help others. Uncle Marlo thank you and I'll continue to pray for you. Rest in Love po. Aiza
Remembering all the good times we shared with Marlo. And may those happy memories bring you peace and comfort.
Sending our love and support to you and your family during this challenging time.
Love,
The Natividad Family
Marlo, the Lord has chosen you! We will miss you a lot! We will miss the time when you and Nilda stops by our house in between LAs Vegas and Mira Mesa. We will miss your stories about your student drivers, your family and your invitation “ Let’s eat!”. Thank you for everything that you’d shared with my family! You can now reunite with Keiki.
Love,
Da Almario Family
I met uncle Marlo when I was desperate looking for a driving instructor. I called around and got refused because nobody's willing to take me as an adult student (I'm 34). I am a mom of special needs child and driving on my own will really help me to take my child to his therapy and school everyday. Inspite of his busy schedule, uncle Marlo didn't hesitate to find a spot for me. I did 3 or 4 session with him only, but I learned so much. He talks like a father who keeps pushing his child to learn. Even giving life advices. I remember almost giving up and with teary eyed, I tried harder to learn because Uncle Marlo won't give up on me. In the end of my last session with him, he said to me in tagalog "Sige nga patingin ako kung kaya mo na, ilabas mo yung pagkabruha mo,wag ka matakot kasi kailangan mo yan" And now I am a liscensed driver that I never think I will be anymore. It made me really sad when I learned of Uncle Marlo passing. I will never forget him and all the lessons he shared. Rest in Love Uncle Marlo.
Looking back at the years we’ve had you in our lives, I’ve realized there were only a few times we’ve spent together yet though you weren’t physically present because of the distance, we’ve managed to become close because you’ve always made sure you reached out to me and to the whole family. I would recall the times you would message me, telling me how your day was, where you were working etc. It was as if you were never far away, even if you are literally a thousand miles away from us. Thank you for being more than just an uncle to me, hence, you made sure I’ve got a friend in you as well. Your last vacation here in the Philippines, the one when you met my own family, is still running on my mind vividly. I have no words but words of appreciation and gratitude for the love and laughter that you gave to all of us. Your life has been well lived uncle Marlo for we know how much you’ve always tried to be the best dad, best husband, best grandfather, best brother, best son and best uncle even in your own little way. You will always be remembered. We love you po, uncle.
There aren’t enough words to capture all that my Dad meant to me. He was steady, kind, and full of macho strength — the kind of person whose presence made you feel safe and loved without him ever needing to say a word. Whether it was through his stories, his laughter, or simply sitting beside you in silence, he had a way of making everything feel okay.
Some of my favorite memories are the simplest: the way he’d greet me with a call after a long day, how he always knew when I needed advice — or when I just needed someone to listen. He taught me the value of hard work, the importance of keeping your word, and most of all, how to love with your whole heart.
Though he may be gone from this world, his love, his lessons, and his legacy live on in every part of my life. I miss him deeply every single day, but I carry him with me — always. Your forever Daddy’s little girl, Queenie <3
