PUMANAW na ang impersonator, satirist, and comedian na si Willie Nepomuceno sa edad na 75.

Sa Facebook in-announce ang pagpanaw ni Willie Nep.

“To our family, loved ones, and friends, it is with deep sadness and heavy heart to announce the passing of our beloved father, WILLIE NEPOMUCENO on July 26, 2023, at the age of 75. He has peacefully joined our creator.”

Ang anak ni Willie na si Willie Wilsson Nepomuceno ang nagkuwento sa pag-rush nila sa kanyang ama sa emergency room ng Marikina Valley Medical Center noong Monday morning pagkatapos nitong mahulog sa kama at tumama ang ulo sa sahig.

“CT Scan showed he had subdural hematoma. On that same day, he underwent craniotomy to evacuate the hematoma and relieve pressure to his brain.

Following the surgery, his vital signs became stable but he was still in comatose.

“The following day, his vitals deteriorated and another CT scan showed recurrence of hematoma and new sites of bleeding. By Tuesday afternoon, he was presumed brain dead and was put on a respirator. By 8 p.m., his vitals dwindled further,” ayon kay Willie Wilsson.

Nagpaalam si Willie Wilsson sa kanyang ama via Facebook.

“Farewell, Tatay. Though it’s incredibly hard to say goodbye, I am grateful for the time we had together. Your love, guidance, and presence in my life have shaped me into the person I am today. Your legacy will forever be engraved in my heart. Rest well, knowing that you are deeply loved and missed.”
