May Your Soul Rest in Peace RUDY FERNANDEZ

"Our beloved Rudy Fernandez+ has gone home to his Maker at 6:15 this morning, June 7, 2008." This was the text sent earlier today by the actor's camp.

Rudy or Daboy, as he was fondly called by his friends and fans, finally succumbed after a hard-fought battle with periampullary cancer that lasted for several months. He was 55.

According to Medical Observer, periampullary cancer is "an enlargement of the ducts from the liver and pancreas where they enter the small intestines."

It was only a few weeks ago that Rudy was brought home from the hospital, where the last efforts to prolong his life were exerted.

Before this, Rudy and wife Lorna Tolentino made trips abroad to find the best cure for the actor, the last of which was in the U.S. right after his last birthday celebration on March 3. The supposed one-month trip was cut short when Rudy decided to come home to Philippines.

Last May 10, a healing mass attended by his friends in the entertainment industry was held for him at the Christ the King Church in Quezon City.

Rudy has three children; actor Mark Anthony Fernandez, with former partner Alma Moreno; and Renz and Ralph with wife Lorna Tolentino.

Rudy's remains will be brought to The Heritage Park in Taguig City, and the interment will be on Thursday, June 12.

May His+ Soul Rest Beside our Dear Lord God.
