According to an email by Bro Rogelio "Boy" Jordan:
It is with sadness that to 'inform you that Bro Junjun Lorenzana passed away this afternoon at 3:30 pm due to stroke according to Bro Butch Gregorio."
Bro Allan Dave Bravo emailed us to let us know that Bro "Jun Lorenzana is now in ICU at James Gordon Hospital in Olongapo; and to include him and his family on your prayers. Egay is going home in Olongapo as soon he get his air ticket."
While Bro Nestor "Netoy" Domingo has this to say:
"I have been in constant contact with Egay [Bro Edgar Lorenzana] after hearing what happened. From what I had gathered, Jun suffered a stroke - an aneurysm lodged in his brain and he was operated on. Being that it happened Sunday, All Saints' Day, it took hours for the surgeon to arrive from Manila. He is currently on a ventilator.
"Egay said that there's conflicting reports from the physicians and he is waiting to talk to the surgeon directly. One MD said that Jun is already brain dead. Another MD asked for the priest to be called to administer the last rites yet vaguely inferred that there's still hope. It was my understanding that they tried to take him off the ventilator and he was able to sustain it for a few seconds and the MD decided to put him back on.
"Jun's wife is asking Egay for his decision as there was a talk about taking the support off (that's why Egay called me to ask for guidance).
"This stresses the importance of the Living Will or the Advanced Directive for Healthcare. We are not getting any younger. I highly suggest that you guys execute one - don't be unfair to your kids and leave them that painful decision should you be in this position.
"Allan is right - let us all pool our prayers for Bro. Jun" and his family.
----------------------------
May our Bro Junjun Lorenzana rest in peace and our condolences and prayers are with his family and friends.
Unfortunately we don't have any further details as to viewing or funeral schedules.
