Abelardo Camacho Obituary
Abelardo G.
Abelardo G. Camacho, age 73, passed away on August 13, 2016.
Born March 1, 1943 in Bacoor, Cavite, Philippines to Zosimo and Pacencia Camacho, Abelardo was a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather. His early years were spent in the Philippines where he completed his education with a Bachelor's Degree in Medical Technology from Centro Escolar University. He moved to Canada, immigrated to the US, and eventually settled in Maumee, Ohio where he would establish a family and career. He worked in the clinical labs of the Toledo Health and Retiree Center and eventually retiring from The Toledo Hospital.
While he had many hobbies such as gardening, cooking and crafting, his real passion was community service. He was one of the initial volunteer fireman and EMT in the Springfield #3 Fire Station. As a part of the Ohio Military Reserves, he achieved a rank of Lieutenant Colonel, retiring at maximum service age. Quick to lend a hand, he served on many local and national disaster teams such as the American Red Cross disaster recovery team. He was active with SCORE (Special Commission on Relief & Education) of the Filipino Association of Toledo as well as PAGES (Philippine American Group of Educators and Surgeons) where he was able to use his skills and passion on medical missions locally and in his homeland.
Abelardo is survived by his sisters, Amor, Mila, and Irma; wife, Flora; daughter, Marissa (Ben) DeJesus, their girls, Addison, Cassidy, Gabriella; son, Edgar (Sharon) Camacho and their kids, Julia and Christopher; grandchildren, Brandon, Alex, Derek, Jack, and Archer.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Zosimo and Pacencia; his brother, Alberto; and his sons, Mar Achilles and Stephen Phillip.
The family will receive guests on Friday, August 19, 2016 from 2-8:00 p.m. at Newcomer Funeral Home, 4752 Heatherdowns Blvd., Toledo. A Prayer Service will be held at 7:00 p.m. The Funeral Mass will begin at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday at St. Joan of Arc Parish, 5856 Heatherdowns Blvd., in the gymnasium. Burial will be at Resurrection Cemetery, 5725 Hill Avenue, Toledo, OH.

It is wonderful to have watched someone have such a fruitful life; lovingly giving to others and accepting only their love. Our God and father never forgets the good we do in order to bring honor to his name. He surely has not forgotten about Abelardo. Just a while longer and the chance to see him again, happy and healthy here on earth is possible. Please accept these kind words from God himself. Heb 6:10. I am sorry for your loss.

Thanks for the guidance and corny jokes, Uncle Boy. We'll see you soon, you know! His peace be with you and may your soul find eternal rest.

I recall that while loading goods in a container truck for a medical mission group where Abe was an officer, in between the too many laughter and the fun of loading, we managed to exchange views of the joys & sacrifices of life & rendering community service, Abe requested me to type up his personal resume' for the mission group. It can't be denied & his daughter, Marissa, was correct,& rightfully so, his was a life of service to humanity. He talked the talk & walked the walk. He served Filipinos very well, served this country very well, and in the end he served Him extremely well.
To your family & friends, I express my deep sorrows in his passing.

I am deeply saddened by his passing. In the 12 years we worked together collecting and packing hospital junk for our surgical missions I came to regard him as a brother . Such a tireless worker. He had seriousness of purpose but yet made it fun to gather and haul discarded hospital supplies. We went as far as Fremont and Northern Michigan. He had contacts just about every where. He was so proud of his children and their successes. Humble and good story teller. He was the designated supplies coordinator at our Philippines missions. He was still active there shortly before his death. Rudy and I, our mission, and countless others are saddened. He will be missed . Our condolences to his family. We share your grief.
