Dr. Jesus A. Datu was born on February 12, 1927 in San Vicente, Bacolor, Pampanga, Philippines, son of Godofredo and Maxima (Angeles) Datu. Dr. Datu graduated from the University of Santo Tomas Medical School in 1954. He practiced general medicine and surgery in the Philippines. He worked for Operation Brotherhood in Laos from 1960-1962. From 1967-1970 he worked as a medical officer in Malaysia. He then immigrated to the United States with his wife Joan and two daughters in 1970.

Dr. Datu secured himself an internship and residency in Chicago, IL. After successfully completing his training, he pursued his career in radiology and became certified in Nuclear Medicine

From 1981-1992, he served as Commander in the United States Navy, stationed in Groton, CT, and Subic Bay Naval Base, Philippines. He was in Subic when the Mount Pinatubo volcano erupted, and was one of the last ones to leave. He joined the many medical missions sponsored by the U.S. Navy to disaster victims, and became active in serving the healthcare needs of the Aeta aboriginal tribes of the surrounding area.

He then founded the Love for Life Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the poor and needy of his homeland, the Philippines. He was a true humanitarian who was devoted to helping the poor and forgotten: his life was dedicated to helping those less fortunate.

Dr. Datu worked in the private sector as well, such as the Appalachian Regional Hospital, Hazard, KY. He was an active participant in the Connecticut Association of Philippine Physicians and the University of Santo Tomas Medical Alumni Association. He was a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He successfully helped his children through college and medical school.

He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and the many people he has helped throughout his life.
