Tomas Bonilla Obituary

Tomas Armando Bonilla, Sr., 57, of Souderton, PA, formerly of Perkasie, PA, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, September 22, 2025, at his residence. He was the beloved husband of Elvia Marina Morataya Perez. Born in El Progreso Yoro, Honduras, Tomas was the son of Blanca D. Guevara of Green Lane, PA, and the late Maximo Bonilla, Sr. For 23 years, Tomas owned and operated Bonilla & Sons, a well-respected business based in Souderton, PA. He was known for his tireless work ethic, generous spirit, and remarkable craftsmanship. Tomas was a devoted member of Centro Cristiano "Cristo es la Luz" in Telford, PA. Tomas had a deep love for the outdoors and lived life with joy and passion. He enjoyed fishing, bodybuilding, swimming, hiking, and riding motorcycles. He loved spending time at the beach, relaxing in his hammock, and grilling for family and friends. A gifted handyman and carpenter, he found joy in building and creating things with his hands. He also had a special gift for cooking and a genuine love for children. Those who knew Tomas will remember him as a hardworking, kind, and friendly man with an infectious smile and a heart for others. Always upbeat, he had a great sense of humor and was known as a bit of a jokester. He never hesitated to lend a helping hand. One of his favorite sayings was: "Don't cook your chickens before they're hatched." In addition to his wife, Elvia, he is survived by his 1st Wife, Rosa A. Ortiz of Gainesville, GA; his 2nd Wife, Sadie M. Werley of Dorothy, NJ; his five children, Eyleen Y.
