SUMAKABILANG-BUHAY na ang comedian na si Chokoleit o Jonathan Aguilar Garcia in real life.
May isa kaming friend na nagbalitang namatay ang komedyante after niyang mag-perform sa isang show sa Abra Sports Complex sa Bangued Abra.
Kasama niya sa show sina JM de Guzman, Ryza Cenon, Pops Fernandez, Coleen Garcia, Enchong Dee at Paulo Avelino.
“Nag perform sa Abra. He was catching his breath. After his performance, he was having difficulty breathing na. Dinala sa hospital then ‘yun na, binawian na siya ng buhay,” say ng isang ka-batchmate namin noong college.
Marami ang nagpahatid ng pakikiramay sa pamilya ni Chokoleit.
“Thank you Lord for giving me a chance to meet Chokoleit and become his friend. Im sad that we lost him. But happy that he’ll be in a much peaceful and happier place now with You. Thanks for everything Chokie. I love you!!! Rest well my friend. Oh my Lord this is really sad. Pls give us strength,” say ni Vice Ganda.
“Unbelievable. Chokoleit performed right after our set and we witnessed how he struggled through the entire performance. The ambulance rushed him to the hospital in Vigan but now we were informed he didnt make it and passed away. We are all in shock. Prayers to all his loved ones. RIP,” Carl Guevarra of The Juans said.
“Salamat Chokie sa tawa at sa lagi mong bukas na puso at yakap sakin tuwing may hinaing ako, isa kang tunay na kaibigan ko! I love you at sobrang nagpapasalamat ako na naging kaibigan at pamilya na rin kita kasi ninang ka ni Malia, pahinga na friend. I love you!” say naman ni Pokwang.
Nag-post din si Maymay Entrata ng photo nila ni Edward Barber kasama ang stand-up comedian sa Twitter na may caption na, “Eto yung time na ang dami mong advice sa amin about sa careet at sa buhay…sobrang sakit ate Chokoleit.”
