His leadership was steady and often quiet—grounded not in recognition, but in responsibility. He represented a kind of leadership that is deeply felt across our communities—a reliable presence, someone who showed up, who contributed, and who led by example.

His life was one of purpose, discipline, and enduring service. His contributions— both in uniform and at home—leave a lasting imprint on our island.
We extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. We recognize that behind every life of service is a family that shares in that sacrifice. We hope they find comfort in knowing that his legacy continues to live on in the community he helped shape.
Mr. Speaker, today we honor more than a memory, we honor a life that continues to guide us. With immense gratitude, we honor the legacy of Major Irenio Borja San Nicolas—a Marine, a leader, and a proud son of Guam.
