Nilo Brobo Cabilan

Nilo Cabilan passed away surrounded by his family on July 30, 2019 in French Camp, CA at the age of 71.  Nilo was born on June 30, 1948 in Cebu, Philippines to Alberto and Martina Cabilan.  Nilo has been a resident of Manteca for the past 7 years.

Nilo was a mechanical engineer in the Philippines, and moved to the states in 1984 later becoming a computer engineer. He was a good drinking buddy to his kids, making him not just a great father,  but a friend. Nilo was adventurous and had a love for travel. In retirement, he had an amazing garden where he grew and ate his own fruits and vegetables and tended to his chickens. He will be missed for his many jokes, intellect, and adoration for his family (and chickens!).
