Karl John Rebbetoy (b. 1954) passed away peacefully on February 7, 2021, after a courageous fight against cancer.
Just as he went through his journey in life, Karl managed his illness with strength, perseverance, and most of all, his positivity. Karl was known for his “live your life to the fullest” attitude, and his positive energy was always able to touch and impact those around him. In his final days, Karl was surrounded by his two children in the care of the Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice in Hamilton, Ontario. Karl is survived by his two children, Kathryn and Andrew; four brothers, Jim, Dan, Patrick and Jack; two sisters, Mary and Anne; and grand-daughter Sophia, and will be missed by many.
As to Karl’s wishes, there will be no visitation or service, and that his body be cremated. His celebration of life will take place at a later date. In lieu of gifts or flowers, the family requests donations to be made to the Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice in Hamilton, Ontario.
