Mr. Keith Anthony Nobrega

16 August 1943 – 1 January 2015

Born in Georgetown British Guyana and passed away in London, UK

Predeceased by his father Romeo Anthony Nobrega and his mother Cecile Elise Nobrega, (nee Burgan).

Survived by his Aunt Noelle Edgehill, Uncle Sydney Burgan, brother Bruce, sister Eve, daughter Renata, son Christopher, grandsons Jordan and Roman, his granddaughter Juliette and his cousins Claudette King, Joan Muss, Donna Thomson, Suzanne Jones, Maureen De Freitas, Terrence Glasford, Michael Nobrega , RoseMarie Bristow, Barbara Mahseredjian , Cyril and Aubrey Bryan.

Keith was gifted in many ways. From the time he was a baby until he passed away he knew and loved cars and things mechanical. Not surprisingly his combination of a love for mechanics and sciences, combined with academic brilliance, propelled him toward engineering studies and scholarships in pursuit of an engineering degree in Scotland. He had an inquisitive and creative mind, which he shared as a teacher and engineer. His love of God and great devotion to St. James Cathedral complemented his reflective and philosophical nature. Keith was a loving person to friends and family. He was always engaging and his measured, baritone voice, gentle smile and warm laughter will be greatly missed. Thanks for your love, we love you and will miss you Dad.

Friends are invited to visit on Friday, February 13 from 6 - 9 pm at the Rosar-Morrison Funeral Home & Chapel, 467 Sherbourne St. (south of Wellesley). A funeral service will be held at St. James’ Cathedral (Church St. & King St.) at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, February 14, 2015. Interment to follow at 1 o'clock at St. James’ Cemetery.
