Elias Kharma

Leo was born on January 2, 1947, in Arabash, Lebanon. He later immigrated to Canada, where he built a life rooted in family, hard work, and community.

Leo was the proud owner and operator of Kit Kat Pizza, a family business he ran alongside his loved ones for many years. Through his dedication and generosity, he became well known and deeply respected within the community. Leo valued togetherness above all else and took great pride in providing for his family and supporting those around him.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Samira; his sons, Mike and Sam; and his daughter, Nazha (Elham Saoud). He was predeceased by his cherished daughter, Salma (Elias Moussa). Leo is also survived by his siblings, Naim and Naime, and predeceased by his parents, Nazha and Tannous Kharma.

A proud and devoted grandfather, Leo leaves behind his grandchildren: Christina and Nicole Saoud; Najib and Odette Moussa (Joe MacKenzie), who are expecting; and their daughter, Elia. His joy in his grandchildren was immeasurable, and they were a constant source of happiness in his life.
