Mark Norman Rualo, devoted to family

Mark Norman Rualo, 40, of Lewes, passed away suddenly at his home Tuesday, May 14, 2024, from kidney failure. Mark was born Aug. 4, 1983, in Manila, Philippines. Mark had recently migrated last year with his children from the Philippines to provide a better life for them and to join the rest of his family in Lewes. Mark lived a life marked by dedication to his children, and a passion for the simplicity of everyday pleasures of family life.

Mark’s hobbies were a true reflection of his free spirit by singing, being involved in numerous motorcycle clubs, and traveling in the Philippines. He was also enthusiastic about motorcycle repair and maximizing time with his sons. In the Philippines, he worked as a professional company driver. Mark kept close to loved ones by activities involving his family and conversations with close friends. His strong belief in carrying on traditions, especially during the holidays, will be missed by those who shared those moments with him. Mark will be missed by all who knew and loved him. He will be remembered as an amazing father, loving fiancée, brother, uncle, and loyal friend.

Mark was preceded in death by his grandparents, Mencio and Amparo Rualo, and Francisco and Antonina Olaes. He is survived by his children, Marquis Rualo and Marcial Rualo; his loving fiancée, Hazeline Espiritu; his mother, Vicenta Olaes of Lewes; his father, Cesar Rualo of Las Vegas, Nev.; his brothers, Dr. Stephen Rualo and spouse Dexter Rualo, and John Vincent Rualo; his sisters, Julie Ann Rualo and Lynnete Ann Rualo; his brother Dexter’s children, Diedrick and Daphne Rualo; and his half-siblings, Ceslynne Rualo and Ulysses Rualo of Las Vegas.
