Bela Zoltan Baka

Béla was born on Sunday, 17 July 1994 on Saipan, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, U.S.A.

He was a friendly and fun-loving boy, with a quick and winning smile. He was an altar server at Kristo Rai Parish. He attended Mt. Carmel School for ten years, playing varsity basketball as a freshman and sophomore.

Transferring to California in 2010 with a new chosen moniker, “Biff” finished up at Dublin High School for two years, quietly making many new friends.

Continuing to Las Positas College in Livermore, where he eventually earned his A.S. in Business Administration in 2017, he worked in retail wristwatch sales from 2015 to 2018. He enjoyed helping friends fix their cars, hanging out, and exercising.

Moving to Las Vegas with his family that year, he was focused on conditioning, with military aspirations. His last four months were spent primarily playing online video games with teammates.

Béla is survived by his parents, Gregory & Cheryl Baka, his older brother Géza, and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. Funeral Mass and burial will be in his mother’s hometown of Lazi, Siquijor, Republic of the Philippines, where he enjoyed many summer holidays.
