Felix Bautista's Obituary
Once again, Army Veteran, Master Sgt. Felix “Ellie” P. Bautista of Olympia, WA has been called to duty by the Lord at 62 years old. This time to join Him in the Kingdom of Heaven with his parents, Sabas and Romana early Monday morning, August 1, 2022. He is relieved of his time here on Earth by wife, Mely, siblings Hermie (Yolly), Meri (Sergio), Malling (Tim) and Sally (Dane), children Elias (Zaira), Lou (Frank), Jane, (Louis), Mellicent (Craig), Kelly, and grandchildren Javie, Deven, Raeven, Nathan, Kal-El, Kara and Callie.
Ever since he was born in a beautiful province of the Philippines his mission was clear. Live life to the fullest and always in honor of our God. A jack of all trades but never a master of one, Felix understood his assignment. At 18 years old, Felix joined the U.S. Army after following his father to Guam and continued to serve the Lord and his country for 22 years. A lover of good music, fishing, carpentry, mechanics, traveling, coffee and beauty. There wasn’t anything he couldn’t do or anyone that existed that he could not meet them at where they were at in life. Even when it seemed impossible he would always say “but what if?”
Ellie’s love for helping people will live on in the hearts of those he’s touched. The never-ending stories will continue on even after he’s gone. The roosters will still crow as the sun rises in the East and sets in the West. His love for us will still resonate now as it did then and always in eternity when we’ll see each other again.
Until then please join us in celebrating Felix’s life on:
