Eleazar Catindig Villacrusis, better known as "Ely" by his many friends, greeted this world on August 23, 1955. He was born in Pasay City, Philippines to his parents, Agapita Catindig and Gaudencio Villacrusis. At the young age of 65, he peacefully went to be with the Lord on November 18, 2020 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Ely was born with extraordinary intelligence and a kind heart. He was known as "Boy" to his immediate family, which is a name he loved. It was a special name given by his family. He was a very educated man and graduated in Civil Engineering from the Mapua Institute of Technology in Manila, Philippines. He worked as a professional engineer on the beautiful Islands of Saipan, Rota and Guam in the Micronesia Islands. Ely also worked as a respected engineer in Florida. In his career, he was always proud of his accomplishments as a construction estimator. Ely was seen as a very kind and thoughtful person by his family and friends. He was always willing to do anything to help his family and never hesitated. He was a loving husband, father, and brother. He worked hard to be a good provider and a loving father to his children. His nephews and nieces recall him as a cool and kind uncle. Ely was joined in his life by his loving wife, Margie Ferrer Villacrusis. His spirit and legacy continues to live on in his children: Kim Keneth, Roy Richie, Bill Bryan, Khristine, Caitlin and Liam Kyle. They all remember him as a hardworking, kind, gifted, humble, intelligent and loving father. He was blessed with three sisters and three brothers. His living siblings are Rodolfo Villacrusis (Nida), Arsenia Ancheta (Antonio), Leonila Nocon (Arnel), and Bayani Villacrusis (Shiela). He is preceded in death by a sister, Gloria Quilaquil (Pelagio), and a brother, Aurelio Villacrusis (Veronica). Although the physical Ely is gone, his spirit lives on and is with us. We will continue to call his name as he will be deeply missed. We deeply love and cherish Ely and felt very fortunate to have him in our lives. Ely longed to retire in his home country, the Philippines. We will grant his wishes and take him home. Rest in peace our beloved "Boy" and know that you are truly loved until we meet again.
