In Loving Memory of Michael Keletzis

It is with profound sadness and deep love that we announce the passing of Michael Keletzis, who peacefully passed away on March 11, 2026, at approximately 7:40 a.m. at North York General Hospital, surrounded by and held by his beloved daughter, son, and wife.

Michael was born in Drama, Greece, on August 20, 1943 and carried the strength, pride, and spirit of his homeland with him throughout his life.

To know Michael was to love him. He had a warm, magnetic personality and was someone people naturally gravitated toward. He was known for his generosity, his intelligence, and his willingness to always help others. Friends, family, and neighbors knew they could count on him no matter what.

Michael was known as the “cool dad.” He had a deep love for music, often playing it loudly and proudly like his own personal DJ. He loved cars, especially his Corvette and Mustangs, and he carried a youthful spirit that people admired.

Among family and friends he earned the nickname “MacGyver” because there truly wasn’t anything he couldn’t fix. Whether it was a car, something broken in the house, or a problem someone else couldn’t solve, Michael always found a solution. Even into his 70s he was still the neighborhood fix-it man, helping others, shoveling driveways, and sharing his knowledge and skills.

Michael was a strong, hardworking, and deeply caring man who was always there for the people he loved. His kindness, humor, and generosity touched everyone who knew him.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his loving wife, Constantina Keletzis, his daughter Helen Keletzis, and his son Chris Keletzis.

He is also survived by his brothers in Greece, Stelios Keletzis and George Kilitzoglou, as well as his many beloved nieces and nephews.

Michael was predeceased by his brother, Kosta Kilitzoglou.

His legacy of strength, kindness, music, laughter, and generosity will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.

May his memory be eternal.
