In memory of

Nelomedin Umadhay

June 20, 1944 -  March 13, 2026

Nelomedin “Nelo” Umadhay born on June 20, 1944, peacefully joined God on March 13, 2026.

Nelo was a devoted husband to Raquel, and a cherished father to his four daughters Loreen (Marvin), Jonah, Ranelyn (Rozmar), and Rachel (Patrick). He took immense pride in his grandchildren Tatyana, Trianna, Thor, Drax, and Gabe whose lives he brightened with his warmth and gentle humour. His loyal family dogs, Bella and King, were never far from his side.

Before immigrating to Canada, Nelo built a distinguished career as an electrical engineer, working as a project manager in Saudi Arabia for much of his life. He was a proud scholar graduate of Mapúa University in the Philippines, where he completed his degree in electrical engineering — a foundation that supported his lifelong work ethic and dedication to excellence.

After immigrating to Canada, Nelo spent his career in Mount Pleasant Group for nearly 20 years. He was an avid traveler. He had traveled to many corners of the world, near and far, from Philippines to Middle East, many countries in Europe, and Southeast Asia. He shared his love of adventure with his family, creating lasting memories which included numerous trips to the Caribbean, Europe and long driving within Canada and to different states of America.

Nelo will be remembered as a loving husband, a steadfast father, and a grandfather whose presence brought comfort and joy. His legacy lives on through the family he adored and the many lives he touched.

He will be deeply missed and forever loved.

Tatay, thank you for everything you've done for our family.

From the cars rides, to the time you tried cooking for me, Trianna, and Thor, although it wasn't perfect, your effort always was. In those memories, your strength, consideration, and the way you carried life, never went unnoticed.

To your love for cars and the moment you saw my nine year old self drawn to a sports car and you told me to work hard for it. I will forever carry those words and everything you stood for. Because this legacy of yours will live on, guiding me and my sister in everything we do, and reminding us of where we come from.

Rest well now, Tatay❤️
You've worked so hard and you've done more than enough.

I was deeply saddened of hearing the news about the passing of Nelo. My sincere condolences to Loreen, Marvin and to the rest of the family. God has taken away one of his Earth Angels.

I worked with Nelo at Beechwood cemetery for many years, and we quickly became friends. He was not only a very knowledgeable worker who had many set skills, but what impressed me the most about Nelo was who he was as a person. A warm, kind hearted, humble man with strong family values, who cared deeply for his family and a person who loved life and enjoyed working.

We would speak often about his journeys in life traveling around the globe working in many different countries, but he spoke mostly about his working experiences in Saudi Arabia, working alongside his American colleagues. He would love sharing stories about them and we would often laugh together.

He came often to help me at my home after work or on his day off with different projects I had to complete and never once said no, and was always there for me if I ever needed his assistance. Truly, a great friend to have.

He never complained about any job or task he was assigned to do and his workmanship on those jobs were second to none. He had a great attitude and I really enjoyed working with him.

He will be truly missed by his family and to all of his friends who had the privilege and opportunity to meet him.

God bless, rest in peace my friend.
