April 20, 1935 - February 4, 2024
Filippo Giacomo Mameli passed away peacefully surrounded by love on February 4, 2024 at the young at heart age of 88.
Our beloved father and grandfather was born on April 20, 1935, in Ittireddu, Sassari, Sardegna, Italy to the late Giovanni and Francesca (Ara) Mameli.
He is predeceased by his brothers Piero, Tony, Mario, and Goffredo, and survived by his sisters Lucia and Giovannina.
Filippo leaves as his legacy, his loving wife of over 60 years Caterina (Prevedello); his sons Michael (Corinne) and Gianpiero (Nichole); their sister Wendy Williams; his grandchildren Brianna, Dylan, Julian, and Janina, as well as numerous nephews and nieces in Canada and Italy.
He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Filippo approached life and relationships with respect, love, kindness, and loyalty, which was showcased in his years of union work in the hotel and hospitality industry. As a retiree, he remained active in the North Burnaby community chatting with people everywhere he went. Filippo maintained interest in Sardinian culture and language. He was an avid Serie A soccer and Formula 1 racing team Ferrari fan.
We are left with many amazing memories, dinners, celebrations, and sporting events that created lasting impressions and will remain forever, in all our hearts.
Filippo was a constant source of strength to his friends and family. His family is thankful for all of the support and kindness shown to him to help him stay strong until the end.
The Mameli family is eternally grateful for the unwavering support and care provided by BC Cancer Agency, Burnaby Hospital Oncology, community nurse K. De Torres, and doctors Telio and Heran.
