It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Stephen Bragado Vizcarra, a beloved husband, son, brother, uncle and friend. He passed away on Thursday, September 12, 2024, unexpectedly and tragically. Born on August 2, 1980, in Manila, Philippines to Crisente and Isabelita Vizcarra, Stephen was the second eldest son. Stephen had a passion for life that was evident in everything he did. He was an avid Harley Davidson rider, spending countless hours on the open road with the wind in his hair and a smile on his face. He adored his faithful companion, his dog Kobe, who was always by his side through thick and thin. Stephen lived his life making friends and keeping them close to his heart. A true food lover, sharing his love of enjoying a meal with friends and family. Stephen’s greatest love was his most wonderful wife Nancy, whom he cherished and adored with all his heart. Known to always wanting to be by her side and never being without her for too long, Stephen will be forever watching over Nancy. Their love was a true testament to the power of love and commitment. Despite his many passions and interests, Stephen’s unwavering faith in God was the foundation of his life. He lived his life with kindness and humility, always putting others before himself and never seeking recognition for his many selfless acts. Stephen will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. His kind soul, warm smile, and gentle spirit will forever be remembered. Sadly, Stephen leaves behind his wonderful wife, Nancy Vizcarra; beloved mother, Isabelita Vizcarra; his brothers, Sherwin Vizcarra (wife Janet Wang, son Jonathan Vizcarra), Mark Vizcarra (wife Joy Alegria-Vizcarra, daughter Julia Vizcarra, son Nathan Vizcarra). Stephen is preceded in death by his father, Crisente Vizcarra Jr.; his grandfather, Crisente Vizcarra Sr.; and his grandmother Pilar Hermogenes. |
