Ronceval V. Arcilla

Ronceval Venegas Arcilla, age 69, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 2, 2026.

Born on August 13, 1956, in Manila, Philippines, Ronceval was the beloved son of the late Flordeliza and Ciceron Arcilla. He spent the first half of his life in Manila before making Jersey City, New Jersey his home, where he built a life rooted in family, hard work, and quiet dedication.

Ronceval was a highly skilled and accomplished professional, earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering and becoming a Certified Electrician and Automation Engineer. He took great pride in his work and was known for his knowledge, precision, and strong work ethic.

Outside of his profession, Ronceval found joy in hands-on pursuits. He had a passion for woodworking, building computers, and working on electronics and robotics. He was a true tinkerer at heart, always engaged in projects that challenged his mind and creativity.

Ronceval will be remembered as a strong-willed and deeply devoted family man. Though he could be stern and straightforward, those who knew him best understood his quiet care and unwavering presence. He was a homebody who found comfort in the familiarity of home and the company of his loved ones.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Leonisa Arcilla; his loving sons, Ronceval Arcilla Jr., Christian Arcilla, and Justin Arcilla; and his daughter-in-law, Rachel Arcilla.

Ronceval was the last of his siblings to pass, joining his brothers Roberto, Romulo, Rodrigo, and Rommel, and his sister Maria Fe in eternal rest.
