Pablo Butay Barayuga's Obituary
In the Quiet Garden of Life: Remembering Pablo Butay Barayuga
November 16th, 1955 – January 21st, 2025
Amid the gentle whispers of the early morning breeze in Mawab, Compostella Valley, Philippines, a seed was planted on November 16th, 1955, that would grow into a towering tree of kindness and strength. Pablo Butay Barayuga, a man whose hands crafted beauty from wood and earth, laid down his tools on January 21st, 2025, returning to the embrace of peace within his residence.
Pablo's life was a tapestry woven with threads of gardening, carpentry, and mechanics. Each garden he tended blossomed not just with flowers, but with the quiet joy he sowed into the hearts of those around him. His creations, born of wood and metal, were not mere objects but expressions of his creative spirit and hardworking nature.
He was a pillar of loyalty and a beacon of support, his kindness touching the lives of many. To his beloved wife, Teresita Barayuga, he was a steadfast companion. To his children, Jason and Marife Barayuga, he was a guide whose lessons were etched in the uplifting melodies of everyday moments. His siblings, Carmen Dulla, Jerry, and Jaime Barayuga, shared with him the roots that bound them in unity and love.
As we walk through the memories left behind, we are reminded of the gentle spirit that nurtured every life he touched. The tender care of his hands in the garden and the unwavering support he offered freely all linger like a soothing melody in our hearts.
In the stillness that follows his journey's end, may we find solace in the legacy of warmth and creativity he cultivated. Let us celebrate the seasons of his life, the seeds he planted within us, and carry forward the quiet strength he embodied.
