It is with deep sorrow and broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Daniel Anthony D’Alessandro, who left us far too soon at the age of 28 in Toronto, Ontario.
Born on May 26, 1997, in Toronto, Daniel was the beloved son of Dan and Mary D’Alessandro, and a cherished brother to Luca and Natalie. He was a proud graduate of Bayview Glen School (Class of 2015) and went on to earn his Bachelor of Commerce from Queen’s University in 2019.
Daniel built a successful career in marketing, working with passion and dedication at Johnson & Johnson and later at Lactalis. He approached both his professional and personal life with a sense of purpose, optimism, and generosity that left a mark on everyone who knew him.
He shared his life with his loving girlfriend, Riley Wieschkowski, with whom he built a relationship full of laughter, support, and love. Daniel will be deeply missed by his extended family, including his Aunt Sarah and Uncle Vito, his grandmothers Jane and Bianca, and many others who were touched by his kind heart. He is predeceased by his grandfathers, Jack and Vito.
Daniel was an avid golfer, a die-hard Montreal Canadiens fan, and someone whose positive energy was truly infectious. His warmth, sense of humour, and unwavering kindness made him beloved by friends, colleagues, and family alike. Despite facing a lifelong health condition, Daniel lived every single day with strength, courage, and joy. He truly loved life and lived it to the fullest.
Daniel's light was bright and beautiful, and while it was extinguished far too soon, the warmth and impact of his spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
