Obituary of John De Santis

December 22, 1938 - September 28, 2025

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of John De Santis on September 28, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer. He will be missed by his loving wife of 64 years, Sandra, and his cherished children Lisa (Chris), Todd (Shelly) and his adored grandchildren Marissa (Nico), Joshua, Claudia and his precious great-grandson Leonardo. John will be remembered by his many relatives and friends in Canada and in Italy.

A special thank you to Dr. Solomon and the St. Peter’s Palliative staff, Dr. Sathyapalan, Dr. Guo, and all of the staff from Home & Community Care who assisted him. Our deepest gratitude to Craig, Julie, and Jen of Donald V. Brown Funeral Home.

John was born in Terni, Italy and came to Canada with his family. He retired from Fortinos Procurement. He was an amazing patriarch with a sense of humour lending to telling great jokes and stories. He will be forever loved and deeply missed leaving behind a legacy of memories.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Cancer Society, a Food Bank, or a charity of choice. A private cremation with only his immediate family was his wish. Notes of sympathy and condolence may be left at www.donaldvbrown.ca
