"Onward Christian Soldier." Jose Cabansag Masibay of Zaragoza Nueva Ecija, Philippines; loyal and faithful servant to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; born August 27, 1932; died December 31, 2015.

Jose's mischievous personality, sense of humor, loyalty, open heart, love, and kindness will be fondly remembered by many — especially his loving and faithful wife of 48 years, Felicidad Samson Masibay. And he will live on through his children: Patricia Teresa Masibay and husband Hartmut Schuerg; Joseph Augustus Masibay and wife Kimberly Youngsteadt Masibay with their sons Leo Augustus and Quincy Severin; Sandra Felicidad Masibay; and Scott Taves. All the members and friends of the Masibay and Samson families are witnesses to the legacy of faith that Jose left behind. May he forever rest in peace in his "place in the sun," a place of eternal light.
