Surrounded by comfort and love, Mario Martignago passed away peacefully on October 8, 2026 at the age of 92.
Mario was born in Coste di Maser, Treviso, Italy on May 6, 1934, to Maria and Eugenio Martignago.
He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Marilena; his children, Susan, Dennis (Nicole), and Michael (Ashley); and his grandchildren Robbie, Elise, Francesca and Stella.
He is also survived by his brothers Bruno and Gianni, and many cousins, nieces and nephews in Italy. He was predeceased by his sisters Bruna, Rina, Assunta and Luisa, and his brother Gino.
Mario left Italy and immigrated to Canada in 1956. After years of working and travelling between the two countries, Mario and Marilena settled in Vancouver in 1971, working tirelessly in a new country, raising three children.
In retirement, Mario loved to work on home projects and took great pride in his beloved garden. He had a witty sense of humour and his greatest joy was his family.
A devoted and caring husband, father, and grandfather, Mario will be forever missed.
The Martignago family would like to thank Burnaby Hospital for their care, compassion and support during his final days.
