Jomar Ang passes away

MANILA, Philippines — Jomar Ang, chief finance officer of RSA Motors and son of San Miguel Corp. president and sports patron Ramon S. Ang, passed away last Saturday. He was 26.

“Our beloved son, Jomar, passed away peacefully on Saturday (April 11),” said Jomar’s parents, Ramon and Tessie, in a statement. “It has been a painful experience, but we have been comforted by the expression of love and sympathy sent to us in many ways.”

Ang, who practiced judo at Ateneo and backed motorsports, was confined at the St. Luke’s Medical Center since January this year.

“We appreciate all the kind thoughts and prayers. Thank you for being with us during this difficult time. While we know that many of you who kept him in your thoughts would have wanted to attend his funeral, we decided it was best to have a private service to celebrate his life on Easter Sunday,” the family said.

They described Jomar as “a dutiful, loving and kind-hearted son, brother and a loyal and dedicated friend to many.”

“He was a source of great joy to us and we are truly blessed to have had his love and presence in our lives. We know in our hearts that he is in a much better place now,” the Angs added.
