Rest in peace, worthy brothers
In the silence of this solemn day of November 2, 2025, we, the brethren of Serafin V. Aguilar Chapter, Order of DeMolay, take a moment of pause to reflect, to pray, and to honor the cherished memory of our dearly departed brothers and Dad Masons.
On this day of remembrance, we recall the laughter we shared, the moments of joy, and the bonds of brotherhood that time can never erase.

As we stand in reverent silence, we offer our deepest gratitude for their devotion, leadership, and love for the Order. Their teachings, wisdom, and examples continue to shape us into men of integrity, loyalty, and service. The virtues they lived by are the same virtues we vow to uphold the very foundations of what it means to be a DeMolay.
To our departed brothers, we remember you as true sons of DeMolay humble in spirit, steadfast in service, and faithful in brotherhood. You carried the Crown of Youth with pride, and your loyalty to the Chapter and to one another will forever remain a shining light within our halls.
Though your voices have fallen silent, your memory echoes through every obligation taken, every hand extended in brotherhood, and every heart that carries your legacy. Death has brought you rest not an end, but a peaceful return to the Great Architect’s eternal home, where pain and sorrow no longer dwell.
On this Day of Souls, we reaffirm our sacred pledge to honor your lives, preserve your legacy, and continue your work in truth and service. Bound by the seven cardinal virtues, we stand united in remembrance, strengthened by your example, and inspired to carry forward the light you left behind.
Rest in peace, worthy brothers.
Your memory lives on within our hearts and in the enduring spirit of the Serafin V. Aguilar Chapter
and worthy of commendation of all good men.
For God, for Country, for DeMolay.
