Art Gentilezo was born in the vibrant city of Bacolod, Philippines, in 1976. At the tender age of seven, he embarked on a new chapter in his life, moving with his family to the bustling city of Los Angeles, California, in 1983. This move marked the beginning of Art’s journey in the United States, where he would later lay down roots in Lemoore in 1993.

In 2002, Art’s path led him to the ancient and honorable fraternity of Freemasonry. He joined Welcome Lodge No. 255, where he found a community that resonated with his values and aspirations. Art’s dedication and commitment to the craft were evident, and in 2005, he was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason, a significant milestone in his Masonic journey.

Art’s passion for Freemasonry continued to grow, and in 2023, he affiliated with the Widows Sons Lodge known for its charitable works and fellowship. His leadership qualities and dedication to the brotherhood were recognized, and he was installed as Tiler in 2025, a role he embraced with enthusiasm and diligence.

Outside of his Masonic endeavors, Art works as a Food Processor in Lemoore, where he applies the same dedication and work ethic that he brings to his Masonic duties. He is a devoted family man, married to Sister Geraldine, with whom he shares three wonderful children. Together, they form a loving and supportive family unit that is central to Art’s life.

Art Gentilezo’s Masonic journey is a testament to his commitment to the principles of brotherhood, charity, and personal growth. His story continues to inspire those around him, both within the Masonic community and beyond.
