Red’s wife Sandy says that the late actor is ‘now gently and respectfully prepared for his flight home to the Philippines’
MANILA, Philippines – The cremated remains of Rodwick “Red” Sternberg are set to be brought back to the Philippines for a memorial service on August 2, the late T.G.I.S. actor’s wife Sandy said in a GoFundMe update.
This comes just after the Sternberg family picked up Red’s ashes from the funeral home where he was cremated.
“With the support of a dear friend, we picked up Red’s ashes from the funeral home. He is now gently and respectfully prepared for his flight home to the Philippines, where his memorial service will be held on August 2,” the update read.
Red passed away “suddenly” on May 27, just three days before he was supposed to celebrate his 51st birthday.
“This is hard. Every step is heavy — but made lighter by you. Your prayers, love, support are allowing us to keep going. We feel deeply. Thank you,” Sandy added in her statement.
As of posting time, the Sternberg family has raised $7,243 of their $20,000 goal. The funds will be used to cover the cremation costs, flights, medical bills, and other transportation expenses that the family has incurred as a result of Red’s death.
In an episode of Fast Talk With Boy Abunda that aired on June 6, T.G.I.S. actor Michael Flores revealed that Red had actually planned on returning to showbiz just before his death.
Red rose to fame as a cast member of the 1990s teen drama T.G.I.S., where he starred alongside Bobby Andrews, Angelu de Leon, Raven Villanueva, Michael Flores, Onemig Bondoc, and Ciara Sotto, among others. In the weekly drama, Red played Kiko de Dios.
Red had been living in the US since 2007. He is survived by his wife Sandy and their three children. – Rappler.com
