Jose Dona Tumbaga's Obituary
Jose Tumbaga Obituary
Jose Dona Tumbaga, 68, of Las Vegas, Nevada passed away on June 21, 2024. He was born on March 19, 1956 in Manila, Philippines.
Our brother did have the capability of speaking a little and hearing a little up until his 3rd elementary school years. After this, he was diagnosed with being nonverbal and unable to hear. However, that did not stop Jose from being active during his years of growing up. He was active for many years in the Special Olympics and won a lot of medals - which he was most proud of.
Jose was treated as the "special brother" in our family, and we would not have had it any other way.
Jose has been a part of all his nieces and nephews lives both on Oahu since their births and the last 19 years with me in Las Vegas.
Brother, you leave a void in our hearts. But I know that you are no longer in pain and have been reborn in Paradise.
Jose is survived by siblings, John Dona (Rainelle) Tumbaga, Victoriano Dona Tumbaga, Maryann Dona (Peter) DeVera, Christina Dona Kruse.
Prayer Service will be held on Monday, August 19, 2024 at Mililani Mortuary Makai Chapel.
Visitation begins at 10:00 am and service 11:00 am.
Burial 12:30 pm at Mililani Memorial Park Cemetery.
