Pumanaw na ang ama ng It’s Showtime host na si Karylle Tatlonghari-Yuzon na si Dr. Modesto Tatlonghari. Mismong si Karylle ang malungkot na nagbalita nito sa publiko via her Instagram (IG) account kahapon.
Ipinost ni Karylle ang ilang larawan sa wake ng kanyang ama last Saturday at sa kanyang caption ay mala-eulogy na for his father ang nilalaman ng mensahe ni Karylle.
Mahabang post ni Karylle, “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.
“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 fun, high attendance and truly present in school events, Tito M was everyone’s dream dad. I was always lucky because he was my dad.
“He will be missed. If you were one of his favorites, I’m sure you have enough memories and kuwentos 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.”
Pati ang mga naging pasyente raw ng ama ni Karylle ay parang mga matagal na kaibigan din ang turing sa yumaong dentista.
“He had a lot of patients through the years. Bumping into them was like seeing old friends from school.”
Pagpapatuloy pa ni Karylle, “He made a fuss about being called Lolo M but that was a great jumping point for his whole stick to play around with his apos. He loved being their silly Lolo.
“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.
“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 lately. But as my best friend, Diane, told me, our last moments together don’t define the lifetime that I’ve loved him.
I will always love him and miss him. Thank you Lord, for Papa M.”
Nagbahagi naman ng pakikiramay kay Karylle ang ilang celebrities. Una na si Megastar Sharon Cuneta na ninang ni Karylle.
“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,” comment-post ni Mega.
“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,” mensahe ni Lea Salonga.
Mula naman sa auntie ni Karylle at co-host niya sa It’s Showtime na si Amy Perez-Castillo, “Promised Kuya M will take care of you!”
Nag-quote naman si Mo Twister ng ilang linya mula sa kanta ni Chris Martin na Fix You.
“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,” sey ni Mo.
Kasunod naman ni Mo na nag-post ng mensahe ng pakikiramay kay Karylle ay si Denise Laurel na nali-link sa controversial DJ recently.
Post ni Denise, “Oh my goodness! K! My heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies! I always love running into your dad. He’s one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met and he was always brimming with pride and joy over everything that you are babe! Filling me in with everything you are up to. He loves you so much and knows how much you love him! He’s the nicest. Even to my lil’ boy babe. May he rest in peace, sending you my prayers, hugs and love K.”
Nakiramay din ang Kapuso actor na si Benjamin Alves sa IG post ni Karylle, “Condolences. Loved our meals with him, especially having the chance to drink wine and BBQ at his place. I knew you two loved each other very much. We love you K, we will always be here for you.”
Naging business partners sina Karylle at Benjamin Alves noong 2016. Nagbukas sila ng coffee shop sa Taguig, not sure if still in operation pa rin ang naturang business.
