“It is with profound sadness that I announce the passing of my dad, Papa M, Doc, Dr. ‘M,’ Moy, Tito M…He was a beloved man who lived life fully.
“Always a presence in a room, while also making sure everyone felt seen and heard. He, too, was always seen and heard with his handsome ‘cute’ face, youthful porma, and booming voice,” simulang pagbabahagi ni Karylle about her dad.
Patuloy pa niyang paglalarawan sa ama, “He was a great guy, always brightening up people’s days. A Baguio boy (and Laguna lad!) at heart and topnotcher at the dental board, he loved basketball and his no-look shot.
“He loved picnics and always had a neon pink frisbee and a basketball in the trunk of a lift back. It always needed to be a lift back so you could instantly turn any road trip into a cute picnic of some sort.

“His philosophy in life was that if your white rubber shoes (or sneakers) weren’t dirty enough, it meant you didn’t play or have enough fun. Fun!
“He was always in for the fun! High attendance and truly present in school events, Tito M was everyone’s dream dad. I was always lucky coz he was my dad,” mensahe pa ng aktres at singer.
“He will be missed. If you were one of his favorites, I’m sure you have enough memories and kwentos about him to make you feel like he’s not too far away.
“There’s likely also a photo of you that he took. Don’t worry if you haven’t received yours, it just means I haven’t given it to you yet.
“His safe was filled with photos! He treasured the people he loved the most, and you’ve been kept safe in his heart of hearts.
“He had a lot of patients through the years. Bumping into them was like seeing old friends from school.
“He made a fuss about being called Lolo M but that was a great jumping point for his whole shtick to play around with his apos. He loved being their silly lolo,” paglalahad pa ni Karylle.
Naikuwento rin niya ang tungkol sa isang pangyayari sa buhay ng kanyang tatay na hanggang ngayon ay nakaukit pa rin sa kanyang isipan.
“A boy scout who was supposed to be one of the streets in the Jamboree circle in Quezon City, I am grateful to Lolo Benny and Lola Thelma for not allowing him to go to jamboree despite him already having the funding from San Miguel where lolo worked. It was a pretty great life extension,” ani Karylle.
Ang tinutukoy niya ay ang pag-crash ng eroplano noong July 28, 1963, kung saan 24 miyembro ng Boy Scout of the Philippines na patungo sana sa Greece para sa 11th World Scout Jamboree, ang nasawi.
Patuloy pa ni Karylle, “It means so much to me that he saw my play 4 times (four!). Little Shop of Horrors was our favorite movie and, like him, a happy part of my childhood. It breaks my heart that I couldn’t have spent more time with him.
Bumuhos naman ang mensahe ng pakikiramay para sa Karylle at sa kanyang pamilya mula sa netizens at mga kaibigang celebrities.
Pakikiramay ni Sharon Cuneta, “Dearest Baby K, our deepest condolences on the passing of M…Mama will be with you ASAP…Stay strong, anak…You’ve been a source of nothing but pride and joy for both your Papa and Mama all your life…We love you so very much…Ninang.”
Komento ni Lea Salonga, “Oh my goodness! @gerardsalonga and I were among his many patients and I remember him for how nice he was. May he rest in peace, and we send you hugs.”
“’And the tears come streaming down your face. When you lose something you can’t replace. When you love someone, but it goes to waste. Could it be worse?’ – Fix You. Hang in there K,” sabi naman ni DJ Mo Twister.
Nakiramay din si Arnomd Clavio kay Karylle, “Condolences. He’s now in good hands. May his soul Rest in Peace.”
Ikinasal sina Modesto at Zsa Zsa noong 1980. Napawalang-bisa ang kanilang kasal noong August 6, 2003. Naaprubahan naman ang annulment ng dating mag-asawa noong December 3, 2004.
Na-annul naman ang kanilang civil wedding noong July 13, 2009, at na-finalize noong December 17, 2010.
