On November 14, 2025, we commemorate the life and legacy of Sir Juniel F. De la Riarte II. Beyond being a clinical instructor, he served as a supportive mentor, a dedicated leader, and a friend to those whose lives he touched. His compassion, humor, and dedication touched everyone he encountered, leaving a deep and lasting impact on their lives.
The solemn mass, necrological rites, and tribute service reminded us of the profound sorrow left by his passing. Still, in every cherished memory, in every lesson he imparted, and in every melody he played, we found both solace and inspiration. Through the lives he touched, Sir
Juniel’s spirit endures, and his legacy continues to illuminate our paths and inspire our actions. Though Sir Juniel may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in every life he inspired. The wisdom he imparted, the joy he brought, and the quiet strength of his guidance continue to lead and shape our journey. In every step we take ahead, we embrace his memory, allowing his steadfast courage and tender kindness blossom in our hearts and radiate into the lives of others.
