Renato's family was his pride and joy, the center of his world.
Renato Reyes, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 27, 2026, after a courageous battle with prostate cancer. He was born on March 7, 1943, in Cavite, Philippines, to Remigio and Felisa Reyes.
Renato leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter, survived by his devoted wife of 57 years, Angelita Reyes, whom he married on January 10, 1969. He was a cherished father to Abel Reyes and Reina Reyes-Paredes, and his love extended to his grandchildren Steffany Mabel Reyes, Riel Paredes, and Rein Paredes. Renato's family was his pride and joy, the center of his world. He is also survived by his siblings Lita Sapinoso, Evie Purificacion, Helen Pakingan, and Ramir Reyes, with whom he shared countless stories and fond memories.
Renato dedicated many years of his professional life as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Kindred Hospital, where he was known for his compassionate care and warm humor. Outside of work, he was an active member of the Calvary Presbyterian Church, Wilmington, where he found a community that shared his values and beliefs.
A man of many interests, Renato had a lifelong love for basketball and baseball, often spending his leisure time watching games and sharing his enthusiasm with family and friends. He also had a fondness for fishing videos, which he enjoyed watching and discussing. Renato was a natural storyteller, always ready with a joke or a tale from his past, bringing smiles and laughter to those around him.
He was known for his compassionate care and warm humor.
