Funeral announcements at the complex

Amine (Toni) Daher

1964-2025 February 22, 2025

C’est avec une grande tristesse que nous annonçons le décès d’ Amine (Toni) Daher, né le 11 Novembre 1964, fils de Joseph et Mona Daher, survenu le Samedi 22 février 2025 après une courte cependant intense lutte contre le cancer.
Il était bon, honnête et respectueux dans sa vie et son travail, garda sa volonté forte à travers le moment le plus difficile de sa vie, se tenant debout pour ses croyances et ses convictions.
Amine appréciait la vie, aimait voyager et avait de gros plans pour sa retraite. Il accepta sa maladie soudaine avec foi et sérénité. Il nous quitta avec une conscience claire qu’il part pour un endroit meilleur.
Tu vivras toujours dans la mémoire de tes proches et tes amis. Repose en Paix Amine
“Celui qui croit en moi aura la vie, même s’il meurt.” (Jean‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬ )

Mary DEMITRO

1951-2025 February 15, 2025

It is with heavy hearts but warm memories that we announce the passing of our beloved sister, Mary Demitro, who left us on February 15, 2025, at the age of 73.

Born on September 15, 1951, Mary was a shining light to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

Her daughter Cristina and her son-in-law John. Her four grandchildren: David and his wife Claudia, Isaac and his wife Strawberry, Joseph and Saraphin.  Her two great-grandchildren: Ezekiel and Chloe.  Her brothers and sisters. Her nieces and nephews. Her cousins and friends.

Mary’s presence was as unforgettable as it was uplifting. A woman of strength, wit, and brilliance, she brought joy into every room she entered. Her quick wit and sharp sense of humor never failed to brighten the darkest of days, and her infectious laughter could turn the simplest moment into a memory we would all cherish forever. Mary had a way of making everything seem a little lighter, always quick with a joke that would leave everyone in stitches.

But Mary’s brilliance extended far beyond her humor. She was incredibly intelligent and gifted, approaching life’s challenges with a remarkable blend of insight and grace. Her generosity was boundless, always willing to offer a hand, a kind word, or a moment of support to anyone who needed it. She believed in the power of kindness and never hesitated to show it through her actions.

Above all, Mary was sweet in the most profound way—a gentle spirit who loved deeply and fiercely. Her love for family was immeasurable, and she found joy in the simplest acts of connection. She was a sister, a friend, and a guiding light to all who were fortunate enough to know her.

Though she is no longer with us in body, her spirit will continue to live on in the stories we tell, the laughter we share, and the love she so generously gave. Mary Demitro will always be remembered for her strength, humor, brilliance, generosity, and the sweetness that made her a one-of-a-kind soul.

Rest in peace, Mary. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

In loving memory of Lloyd Michael Dyer

It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Lloyd Michael Dyer on Tuesday, February 4th, 2025. Born to Erle and Marjorie on October 19th, 1948, Mike was a big man with an even bigger heart. He had a wonderful sense of humour, a gentle soul, and a warmth that was felt by all who met him.

He is also survived by his sister Suzanne (Laszlo), brother Geoffrey (Marcia), and will be missed by many more family members and friends whose lives he impacted. He was predeceased by his brother Robert (Sandra), who he loved and missed dearly.

Beryl and Erika wish to express their gratitude to their family, friends and neighbours who have all been such an incredible source of support and love during this difficult time.

A celebration of Mike's life will be held at a later date, with details to be shared soon.
