To honor the memory of his late father Ebet Sapida, Benjamin Alves takes down all his posts on his Instagram account, and keeps only two photos: those of his father.

Benjamin Alves or Benjamin Sapida in real life is mourning the loss of his dad Ebet Sabida, who was based in Guam.

As a tribute to his Daddy Ebet, Benjamin deleted all his posts on Instagram and only kept two photos of his father.

In a post that is both heartwarming and heart-breaking, Benjamin shared his fondest memories with his dad.

“My dad did not have a weak heart. Of all the things I can describe my dad: humble, gentle, kind, sincere, patient, joyful, selfless - none of which a man with a lesser heart could be.”

“And though my heart breaks for the sudden loss of my dad, I know that Daddy would tell me to have faith - trust that God's timing is perfect - and to take comfort in Him.”

“My dad's heart is not the reason why he left us, it is the reason why he will always remembered. Rest In peace Daddy. I love you.”

My dad did not have a weak heart. Of all the words I can describe my dad: humble, gentle, kind, sincere, patient, joyful, selfless - none of which a man with a lesser heart could be. He never asked for a better seat at the table, never wanted a higher position; he never had any other agenda but to serve wholeheartedly. And though my heart breaks for the sudden loss of my dad, I know that Daddy would tell me to have faith - trust that God's timing is perfect - and to take comfort in Him. My dad's heart is not the reason why he left us, it is the reason why he will always remembered. Rest in peace Daddy. I love you. June 26, 1953 - October 9, 2018

Julie Anne Said, “Your genuine kindness has made me realize I have a family away from home, and you have become family to me. Even though i wasn't your own daughter, i've felt as if I was. You're in a far better place now, may God give you eternal rest. We'll miss you tito Ebet.”
