Marcos Colcol Quiban, age 88, of Las Vegas, Nevada, passed away Sunday, July 2, 2023 at his home in Henderson, Nevada. Marcos was born October 25, 1934 in Philippines, a son of Eugenio and Felipa Colcol Quiban. He was married to the love of his life, Elisa Quiban.
He was a history professor in the Philippines. He retired from Sears Roebuck as a purchasing manager. He also retired from United Airlines as a ground crew member in Hawaii. He was a dedicated Catholic and his faith was important to him. He venerated "The Lady of Manoag" and belonged to St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Henderson, NV.
Marcos enjoyed reading the newspaper to keep up with ongoing politics, news and sports. He was a boxing enthusiast, historian and enjoyed cooking filipino cuisine. He also had a strong interest in alternative medicine; championing the use of herbs as preventative treatment and longevity. He also liked to spend time at the local casinos to try his luck at the slot machines.
Marcos was a gentle, selfless, kind and generous person. He was slow to anger and patient. He was forgiving and understanding of people. He would give you the benefit of the doubt if there was any. He always put the needs of people first, especially his family. He was a strong, quiet type but, when he spoke he didn't mince words. He was a great father, grandfather, great grand father and husband. His loving presence and guidance will be dearly missed.
