John Dee

Date of Death: 
Sunday, January 31, 2021

John Francis Dee, formerly known as John Tembrina Dy, was born on September 29, 1941 in Rosales, Pangasinan, Philippines. He passed away from cancer in Ingalls Memorial Hospital on January 31, 2021 alongside his children.

In 1971, John emigrated from the Philippines to the United States in pursuits of a career in martial arts after receiving his bachelor degree in Psychology from the University of Sancti Thomae and a second bachelor degree in Law from the University of Saint Louis in Baguio City, Philippines. John became a US citizen in September, 1978. John first learned martial arts from his father Francisco Dy-Seng in the Philippines. Mastering the arts was very important to John. John opened his martial art studio in the Chicagoland area and had many followers. Students remember John as a good mentor, selfless and a devoted teacher. Many students from the neighborhood were in search of someone to look up to. John impacted those in need to stay on a straight path by teaching them life skills and self-worth. "Most people had Michael Jordan as a role model, I had a better one, John Dee" quote from Matt Dean, a former student. John wore many hats, he was a famous disc jockey in the Philippines, martial art teacher, been in movies, a hair dresser, an artist, a photographer, and a CDL bus driver (Top of my class! John humorously proclaimed). John lived a multifaceted life. No, John was not perfect, but who in this world is? While John's dream was broken by his weaknesses, something was shining through. It was "treasure" - the treasure was all his children. Please focus on the good memories. John is a father to seventeen children and grandfather to many. He loved t hem with all his heart and was very proud of the accomplishments.

John will be remembered for his artistic talent, determination, generosity, selflessness, and a sense of humor.

John was preceded in death by his father and mother, the late Francisco Dy-Seng and Benita Tembrina Dy, his sister, the late Zorahaida, his brothers, the late Juley and James, his son, the late Marcus. He was survived by his sisters, Luzonia and Estela, his sons, Mardini, Sean, Mark, John, Michael, John F., Maharlika, Shintaro and Makaio, his daughters, Anna, Maria, Diana, Candice, Alexis, Emerald and Kitara, his grandchildren, Kamille, Keegan, Kaiden, Kyrus, Nora, Nathan, Jaiden, Maelyn, Malia, Lazar, Rafael, and Kanani, and his great-grandchildren, Aven James and June Annmarie.

Mr. Dee and I met where I work. I work in a urology office. He came in, and I remember me helping him. Every time I called him, he always answered saying, "Hi Crystal." No matter who called him from the office. He brought a lot of joy to my heart as a front line health worker. I was always ready to be there for him because he trusted me. I am glad I met you, and you will always carry a special place in my heart. Thank you for calling me your angel. You will be missed dearly. - Crystal

Hey folks, I've been exploring the world of online casinos lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s surprisingly fun. At first, I was honestly suspicious. I mean, how do you even trust an online platform with your hard-earned money, right? But after doing a ton of research (and trying out a few questionable sites so you can avoid that mess), I figured out a few things that separate a trustworthy casino from a complete fraud. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **licenses matter**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper regulatory certificate (like from the MGA or the UKGC), just close that tab. No bonus is worth the gamble of never seeing your money again. Also — and I know no one wants to — check the terms. That’s the only way to know what kind of hidden traps they’ve slapped onto those so-called “juicy” bonuses. Now, let me share a site I’ve been playing on these last few weeks. It’s been a total win. The interface? Super smooth. Payouts? Fast as hell. And the game selection? *Massive*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some unique stuff I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: plinko . What really won me over was the help desk. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like 10 minutes. Compare that to other sites where you’re just left hanging — yeah, not worth it. Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some legit ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just go crazy over promos. It’s smarter to get clear terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and bet the farm — please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra spending money and you’re looking for a fun way to unwind, online casinos can totally deliver. Just play smart, know your limits, and don’t treat it like a side hustle. It’s for fun, not for a paycheck. Anyway, just wanted to drop my experience here in case anyone’s looking for solid info or trying to find a good place to play. If you’ve got your own stories or even some horror tales, I’m all ears — love talking shop about this stuff. Good luck out there, and spin smart, win big ??

Hey people, I've been exploring the world of online casinos lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s surprisingly fun. At first, I was totally unsure. I mean, how do you even rely on an online platform with your cash, right? But after doing a ton of research (and trying out a few sketchy sites so you won’t have to), I figured out a few things that set apart a trustworthy casino from a complete fraud. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **check the license**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper regulatory certificate (like from the MGA or the UK Gambling Commission), just walk away. No bonus is worth the trouble of never seeing your money again. Also — and I know no one wants to — go through the small print. That’s the only way to know what kind of playthrough limits they’ve slapped onto those so-called “amazing” bonuses. Now, let me share a site I’ve been hooked on these last few weeks. It’s been a game-changer. The interface? Super clean. Payouts? Quick — like 24 hours quick. And the game selection? *Insane*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some unique stuff I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: plinko game . What really impressed me was the help desk. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like instantly. Compare that to other sites where you’re just left hanging — yeah, not worth it. Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some legit ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just grab every shiny offer. It’s smarter to go for reasonable terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and blow your whole paycheck — please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra cash and you’re looking for a chill way to spend an evening, online casinos can totally deliver. Just stay sharp, set a budget, and don’t treat it like a side hustle. It’s for fun, not for a paycheck. Anyway, just wanted to drop my experience here in case anyone’s curious or trying to find a decent place to play.

Hey folks, I've been diving into the world of internet gambling lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s a total blast. At first, I was honestly suspicious.

First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **check the license**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper license (like from the Malta Gaming Authority or the UK Gambling Commission), just run. No bonus is worth the risk of never seeing your funds again.
