Darrel "Dada" Ascano Pedraza passed away peacefully on Wednesday April 7, 2021. He was born on October 5, 1976 in General Trias, Cavite, Philippines. In 1992, he met the love of his life, Maricel Figueroa, at Ila Memorial High School in Rosario, Cavite. On September 30, 1995 they joined hands in marriage. Darrel was the loving and devoted father to Darrel Jr., Krisha, Lennard, Jethro, and Katleah Pedraza.

In his professional life, he managed multiple automotive businesses where he broke sales records across the country and won countless awards. His success led him to open his own business: Bagsik SG Inc., also known as "Midas". He excelled in his career because of his unconditional desire to always help others.

Darrel was a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend. We are so blessed to have been honored with his selflessness throughout his life. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he aided families, churches, customers, friends, and citizens of his hometown in the Philippines. The opportunity to know Darrel was to know the most generous person that could have ever come upon this earth. No matter the time or the situation and especially no matter the person, if you needed him, he was always willing to help without any hesitation.

When you think of Darrel, remember the good times and celebrate his life. Remember that life is fragile, short, and should be lived to the fullest. Above all, life should be lived in love.
