In memory of

Vincent DeFranco

October 7, 1971 -  August 17, 2025

It is with a heavy heart to announce the passing of Vincent De Franco on August 17, 2025, with his family by his side. He is survived by his loving wife Olenka, sons Matthew, Alex, and Julian, parents Silvio and Josephine, and brother John.
Vince was a devoted family man. He was a loving father, husband, son and friend. His love for life was inspiring and he always earned respect and a smile from all that had the pleasure of meeting him. Vince’s energy and unique sense of humour was contagious.
His ability to connect with everyone had given him innumerable deep and lasting friendships. His favourite times were spent hosting and cooking for friends and family. Vince was known for starting spontaneous dance parties at home and was always the first and last person on the dance floor for any event he attended. He was full of unlimited love and compassion for all, and he will be sadly missed by all that had the honour of knowing him. He lived all moments to the fullest and always appreciated everything, even while battling his illness. Although his time was tragically cut short, his memory will live on in our hearts and souls forever.

To our beloved family,

Words cannot express how deeply we will miss Vince. He was more than a cousin to us — he was someone we admired, someone who made us laugh, and someone whose presence always made life brighter. We will forever treasure the memories we shared with him, and we will hold his warmth, humor, and love in our hearts always.

Vince left behind a legacy of kindness and laughter that will continue to live on in all of us. May we find comfort in knowing he touched so many lives and will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

With love and deepest sympathy,
Nick, Voula, Christian & Nicholas

Vince was a great friend. His outgoing personality, and humourous wit made Vince the likeable person he was. He will be missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him.

Rest in peace my dear friend.
