It is with the heaviest of hearts we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Joshua. Predeceased at a young age by his father, Paul Banitsiotis, his unexpected loss has left an irreparable void for his mother Maria Filomena, his sisters Eleftheria (John-Paul) and Alexandra (Nico) and their children. Joshua’s heart was as big as his infectious smile, which endeared him to anyone lucky enough to know him. A smart yet sensitive soul; his teddy bear like stature, kindness and sharp wit made for a rare and perfect combination we find in a few. It perhaps lent itself best to his most cherished role of Uncle Josh to his niece Isabella and nephews Julian, Gabriel and Christian whom he adored and shared his happiest moments. Joshua loved with all of his being, and although God took him too soon, his impact will be forever sketched on our souls. He will forever be missed by his family and friends, as well as his extended family in Canada, Portugal and Greece. May he Rest In Peace and may his memory be eternal.
