Antonio L. Caliboso

Antonio L. Caliboso, a devoted family man and dedicated professional, passed away peacefully on March 19, 2026, at the age of 92. Born on January 17, 1934, Antonio lived a life marked by commitment, generosity, and a passion for both his work and family.

Antonio earned his Bachelor's degrees in Aeronautical Engineering and Civil Engineering from FEATI University in Manila, Philippines. It was during this formative period that he met his beloved wife, Belen Caliboso, beginning a partnership filled with love and mutual support that would span decades.

Early in his career, Antonio worked as a surveyor for the National Irrigation System in the Philippines, contributing to important projects that supported the agricultural community. Later, after moving to the United States, he served as a maintenance technician at Harbor View House in San Pedro, California. There, his expertise and dependability were evident throughout more than thirty years of dedicated service, leaving a lasting impact on the facility and its residents.

Known for his loving, caring, and generous nature, Antonio was always ready to lend a helping hand to others. Outside of his professional life, he was a passionate gardener, nurturing his plants with the same attentiveness and care he showed in all aspects of life. He also had a lively enthusiasm for playing the lottery—a monthly tradition that brought a spark of joy to his days. Additionally, Antonio enjoyed watching walking videos of Urdaneta on YouTube, connecting him with memories of his heritage and homeland.

Antonio is survived by his cherished wife, Belen Caliboso; his sons, Arlen, Archie, Arnold, and Abner Caliboso; his daughter, Marissa Marconi; grandchildren Menchie, Angelo, Amos, Marchella, and Matthew Caliboso; and great-grandson Alister Caliboso. His loved ones remember him as a pillar of strength and kindness whose legacy of warmth and dedication will continue to inspire.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Laureano and Victoriana Caliboso; his brothers, Fortunato and Enrique Caliboso; and his sisters, Corazon, Feliciana, Lourdes, and Josefa Caliboso.

Antonio L. Caliboso’s life was one of quiet dedication, heartfelt generosity, and unwavering love—a legacy embraced by all who knew him and treasured by generations of family. His memory will continue to blossom, much like the gardens he so lovingly tended, in the hearts of those who were privileged to share in his journey.

He believed on the Lord Jesus’s death and resurrection for salvation. 

Roman 6.23

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
