With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Terence Albarico, who left this world on February 12, 2025, in Baldwin Park, CA, after a courageous battle with liver cancer. Born on September 20, 1977, in Bangkok, Thailand, Terence was a man of gentleness, deep sensitivity, and unwavering kindness.
Terence had a quiet strength that made those around him feel at ease. He was very gentle and kind, always treating others with patience and understanding. His sensitive nature allowed him to connect with people on a deeper level, making him someone others could trust and confide in.
One of Terence’s greatest accomplishments was attending culinary school, where he pursued his passion for cooking. The kitchen was where he felt most at home—where creativity met precision, and where he could bring people together through the meals he prepared. He took immense pride in his craft, and those fortunate enough to enjoy his cooking knew that every dish was made with care and love.
Beyond his love for cooking, Terence dedicated himself to a career in caregiving with IHSS. His work was more than just a job—it was a reflection of his compassionate heart and selfless nature. He had an innate ability to provide comfort and care, always offering a helping hand to those in need.
Above all, Terence was a proud, intelligent, and good man who valued hard work and perseverance. His mother, Nipa Albarico, was an essential part of his life—a source of strength, love, and support. Their bond was built on deep love and mutual respect, and he carried that love with him always.
He is survived by his mother, Nipa Albarico, who will forever cherish his memory. He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Boonsanong Pechlo, who held a special place in his heart.
A memorial service to honor Terence’s life will be held on Sunday, March 9th, at 2:00 PM at Thai Outreach Church, 978 N. Lake Ave, Pasadena.
Terence Albarico, you will always be my baby, my buddy, my son.
