Luigi De Angelis

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, Nonno and Uncle.

He is predeceased by his parents Gabriele and Domenica; siblings Berardina, Louisa, Filippo and Pasquale; and infant son Fredi.

He is survived by his wife Giovanna of 63 years; children Maurizio (Barbara) Nadia (Ed); loving grandchildren Marco, Michael and Sarah; sister-in-law Silvana; nieces Paola, Daniela and Stefania and their families; as well as sister-in-laws, and many nieces and nephews in Italy and France.

Luigi was born in Villa di Mezzo, Abruzzo, Italy and immigrated to Canada in 1958 to join his brother Pasquale.

Luigi’s greatest joy was his family. He was most happy spending time with his grandchildren, listening to Italian music with them and taking care of his garden, of which his grandsons have developed a passion for as well.

We will miss him more than words can ever express.

A visitation for Luigi will be held Tuesday, June 27, 2023 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Bell & Burnaby Funeral Chapel, 4276 Hastings Street, Burnaby, BC . Funeral mass will will be celebrated Wednesday, June 28, 2023 at 11:00 AM at Our Lady Of Sorrows, 525 Slocan Street, Vancouver.
