Mr. Virgilio Francisco Uy

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Virgilio, a man of unwavering dedication, boundless love, and relentless determination. He leaves behind a legacy that is a testament to the profound impact he had on the lives of his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Born in the Philippines, Virgilio, along with his wife Lolita, embarked on a journey that was defined by selflessness and a burning desire to provide a brighter future for his beloved family. Leaving behind his own family, he took a bold chance, moving to Canada in pursuit of greater opportunities. His sacrifice and unyielding commitment to his family's well-being serve as an enduring example of his love and devotion.

As a karate instructor, Virgilio not only honed his skills but also instilled in his students the values of discipline, respect, and perseverance. His passion for martial arts led him to participate as a coach in the prestigious Asian Sea Games, where he shared his knowledge and inspired countless athletes to reach for greatness.

In Canada, Virgilio worked diligently at Edgewater/Parq Casino in the surveillance department. His dedication and strong work ethic were evident to all who had the privilege of working alongside him. His commitment to excellence was not only evident in his professional life but also in his role as a loving husband, father, and grandfather.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Lolita, and their four children, Christover, Lolliver, Oliver, and Vergel, along with their cherished grandchildren, Julian, Maverick, Miyah, and Mason. Virgilio was the epitome of generosity, extending his helping hand to his extended family in the Philippines, demonstrating his unwavering love and commitment to those he held dear.

Virgilio will be fondly remembered as the best husband, father, and grandfather, whose love and sacrifices knew no bounds. His legacy of hard work, selflessness, and love will continue to inspire us all.

In honoring his memory, let us carry forward the lessons he imparted and the love he showered upon us, and let us strive to make the world a better place, just as he did for his family.

Rest in peace, dear Virgilio. Your love will forever guide us, and your memory will live on in our hearts.
