Obituary

Our hero, our rock, our strength.

Our hero for coming to our rescue – whether it was big or small at any stage of our lives.

Our rock for always being in our corner and reminding us to take a deep breathe, keep our shoulders back & our head high so we could overcome anything that came our way.

Our strength for showing us what resilience and determination was.

You made an impact on everyone you met. Your compassion, selflessness & wanting to help others touched the hearts of many.

You spent your final days surrounded by family & friends, sharing memories and laughter.

On September 21st, 2024, you ended your fight as a winner and joined hands with Mom.

You will be dearly missed by your daughters Summer (Pedro), Autumn (Joey), Granddaughters Ava Lee, Liana & Alyssa, Brothers Bob (Melissa), Lenny (Regina), Nieces & Nephews Gianrobert, Simona (John), Derik (Christi), Lindsay (Taylor), Amy, Rustam & Arthur.
