Roberto Ibanez Militante's Obituary
In Loving Memory of Roberto Ibanez Militante “Bobby”
Sunrise: October 26, 1943 – Sunset: July 13, 2025
With gentle grace and timeless charm, Bobby passed peacefully, surrounded by love and memories that will linger like a favorite melody. A man of humble strength, he touched countless lives—not with grand gestures, but with quiet kindness, enduring patience, and unwavering devotion to family.
He carried the rhythm of life with the elegance of a Sinatra ballad, always ready with a warm smile and a word of wisdom. His legacy isn’t just in the milestones or achievements, but in the gentle ways he showed up—faithfully, humbly, and without need for recognition.
He is survived by his faithful wife, Julieta Militante; his daughter, Mae Manalastas, her husband, Patrick, and their three children – Anya, Aidan, Ander – Elma Wright and her husband, Michael – Mia Murphy and her two children – Desiree and Dylan; his brother, Marcelo Militante (Norma) and their five children, Evelyn Belen Velez and her three children, Rudolfo Militante (Lori) and their two children.
He is predeceased by his brother Peter Militante (survived by his wife, Ester, and their seven children); Jose Militante (survived by his wife, Marian, and their four children).
A service will be held to honor his life with details below.
In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to the American Diabetes Association, a reflection of his giving spirit. Please use the link below:
He left the stage gracefully, just as he lived—and now the curtain falls on a life well loved.
