Reynaldo San Miguel De Leon

Reynaldo "Boryot" San Miguel De Leon, a great and hardworking man, was known as much for his vivacious spirit as for his dedication to family and craft. He passed away peacefully on March 14, 2025, in Virginia Beach, VA, at the age of 84.

Upon moving to the United States, he began his career as a Hospital Dietary Aide, a testament to his unwavering work ethic and desire to support his family.

Reynaldo was a man of many interests. He was known for his exceptional ability to make lumpia, his knack for handyman jobs, and his infectious presence that often made him the life of the party. Always moving and seeking the respect he so richly deserved, Reynaldo was most likely found dancing at any gathering. His frequent visits to his hometown in the Philippines reflected his deep-rooted connection to his origins and his enduring love for his cultural heritage.

A proud dad and devoted husband, Reynaldo is survived by his beloved wife, Victoria Sarino De Leon, and his sons, Ronald Alain Sarino De Leon (Jaquelyn) and Robin Sarino De Leon. He leaves behind cherished memories with his twin brother Manolito De Leon, brother Abelardo De Leon, and sisters Dalisay De Leon and Juanita Felizardo (Renato). His legacy continues through his grandchildren, Riley Jaye De Leon and Roxan Joie De Leon. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and friends who will miss him dearly.
