It is with deep sadness that we share the sudden passing of Roberto Antonio Brescacin, who left us on January 7th, 2025 at the young age of 61. Rob was a person whose kindness and compassion touched the hearts of all who knew him. His unwavering love for family and friends was a testament to his generous spirit.
elevated E71Tr Born on January 27th in Toronto to Clara Brescacin and the late Giuseppe Brescacin, Rob lived a life full of warmth, joy and commitment. Whether through quiet acts of kindness or standing by and supporting loved ones during difficult time, Rob had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel valued and important.
elevated E71Tr As a small business owner, he will be remembered for his hard work and his dedication to perfection. In his eyes, quality and workmanship mattered, he strongly believed in doing things right.

To his nieces, Crystal, Samantha (Chris), Nicole and Danielle, and his sole nephew Matthew (Christina), he was affectionately known as Uncle Rob. There is a special place in his heart for Aviana and Charlotte. He also leaves behind a host of friends and loved ones whose lives were touched in profound ways.

Sincerest condolences to the family
My Dearest Uncle Rob
I don’t think anyone will ever know just how much you mean to me.
Your voice still echos in my mind as I go through the motions of life. I feel your presence when I look at your pictures and I’m reminded of just how much love you had for me.
I will never forget all of the guidance and support you have given me through out the years or the way that you loved my Aviana- you were her biggest fan and I can’t thank you enough for the love you showed her.
You were the most selfless man with a heart not many were worthy of and I will forever be grateful i got to experience you in this life.
You will forever be one of the hardest goodbyes.
One that I was definitely not ready for.
I miss you terribly and I love you so very much
Until we meet again my sweet uncle. Rest your precious head. ❤️🕊️✝️

I had the privilege of meeting Rob through a mutual friend. Over time, we shared many lunches and worked together, during which I came to know him as a truly wonderful person with an incredible sense of humour. The news of his passing deeply saddens me, and I extend my heartfelt condolences to everyone who knew and loved him. Rest in peace, my friend—you will be greatly missed.
Dear Marie, Stephanie, Christina, Daniel, Olivia, Paris, Clara, The Liut and McNally families. Roxanne and I would like to extend our deepest condolences to you ALL during this very difficult time. The void this has left in all our lives so suddenly is beyond heartbreaking.
I have had the pleasure of knowing my Best man and best friend in excess of 47years. Rob had to be the kindest and most generous individual that many can attest to. Our trips we have taken as families or couples alone are ones we will cherish forever.
Your last words to me were” look after my girls”. Well I cant promise to fill your shoes, but i will do my absolute best.
May you rest in eternal peace.
Love you “SON”

I met Rob through work. During that time I have come to know him as a generous, funny and kind person. He was selfless in his actions and came to feel like family. It is heartbreaking to hear of his loss. He will be deeply missed by his friends and coworkers. My condolences to his family.
Rob , we are going to miss you immensely. You were truly one of a kind and our home is a result of your labour of friendship and love that we will always cherish. We are going to miss our crazy chats, your impromptu drop ins but most of all we are going to miss the external right hand to our family . Rest in peace my friend … gone but will never be forgotten.
Our sincerest condolences to the Brescacin family during this most difficult time. Rob was a great person, full of heart and compassion and always willing to help those who asked. May his love and legacy live on to those who he touched in his life.
Rob. I can’t believe that you are gone. For over 40 years, you have been more that just a friend & colleague, but one of my best friends. Someone I could call & chat with about everything. Ellen admired you so much & I know with you now being with her, she will be in good hands. The number of people coming today to pay their respects is testament to how much of an influence you have been to so many people. Always dropping everything to go & help people. Every one had a story. To Marnie & the girls, how they shared you with everyone, even though it was a Sunday or very late night, you were always there. We thank them for sharing you with all of us. Will miss you terribly Bud
Our sincere condolences for your loss.Sending prayers to All the family.
