Melvyn Velasco

July 2, 1943 — June 20, 2025

Melvyn Toh Velasco was born on July 2, 1943, in Manila. He brought light, laughter, and love into the world until his peaceful passing on June 20, 2025, at the age of 81. Surrounded by his beloved family at his home in Burbank, California, Melvyn bravely battled prostate cancer with grace and strength.

Melvyn had a gift for making those around him feel welcome and valued. With his warm smile, open heart, and quick wit, he brightened every room he entered. His sense of humor and easygoing nature left a lasting impression on everyone he met. Above all, Melvyn was a loving father and grandfather who placed his family at the center of his life.

He is lovingly remembered by his children: Melaine Velasco, Melissa Velasco, and Meyrick Velasco. His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren: Gabry Chua, Rocco Velasco, and Raffa Velasco. Their joy and laughter were his greatest treasures, and they will carry his memory in their hearts always.

Melvyn’s life will be celebrated with visitation services at Forest Lawn – Hollywood Hills, Faith Chapel, in Los Angeles on July 15 and 16, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. A funeral service will follow on July 17, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Church of the Hills.
