Gregory Jess Atoigue Maratita, affectionately known as Gregory Jess/Jessy, Gregory Boy, Gregorio, Geggy, Boogish, and My Baby.

Gregory Jess was called home to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at 5:55 a.m. on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at the age of 30. Though doctors once said his time with us would be brief, God had other plans. For three decades, we were graced with Gregory's presence-a true blessing and testament to faith, love, and perseverance. His life was a gift, and his spirit a light to all who knew him. We give thanks to God for the precious years we shared with him and find comfort in knowing he now rests in eternal peace.
