Obituary of Paul Jeffrey Djonovich

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Paul Djonovich, in his 55th year. Loving husband of Trina Brendon Djonovich, proud father of Rya and Burk, cherished son of Nikola and Sheila (deceased) Djonovich, son-in-law to Joan and Walt (deceased) Brendon, brother to Laura (Steve) Luneberg, Lisa (Toby) Beam, brother-in-law to David (Brenda) Brendon, Carolyn Brendon (Rob Alexander), Julie (Michael) Dembe, dedicated uncle to Kerala Brendon, William and Madeleine Alexander, Tovah, Noah, Jonah, and Elijah Dembe, Jacob and Darren Luneberg, Megan and Trevor Beam. Paul will also be missed by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Paul lived for his family, friends, and clients, and valued the experiences with them all.  Nearest to his heart were his wife of 21 years (Trina), and their children (Rya 19 & Burk 16), who were treasured dearly.  Paul was a proud Canadian who seldom missed watching the World Juniors International Hockey each year.  As he watched, he scouted for potential future draft picks that could be additions to his favourite NHL club, the Chicago Blackhawks.  Another great source of pride for Paul was coaching his children’s various sports.  Among his favourite times was when the head coach was away for practice, as Paul could then run a full ice scrimmage where he too could participate in play.  Paul also enjoyed his memorabilia, with coins, hockey cards, and old wood boxes being among his favourites. Paul and Trina welcomed friends and family to their Belwood Lake Cottage where they shared many great memories together.  While at the cottage Paul would design and host chipping competitions, bocci tournaments, or various other types of sporting festivities in the afternoon, followed by a night-time fire social. Paul took the well-being of his clients very personally and wanted to bring them the best security and comfort he could provide.  He also valued those in the industry that supported his efforts and personal development along the way. Paul will be remembered fondly by all who had the privilege of his company. Cremation has taken place. A Visitation will be held at Tansley Woods Community Centre-Community Room #1-1996 Itabashi Way, Burlington, ON  on Sunday June 19, 2022 from 3:30-7:30 p.m.  There will be a celebration of Paul’s life at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Cancer Society or Heart and Stroke Foundation. Online condolences and notes of sympathy may be left at www.donaldvbrown.ca
