It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Valentins Fjodorovs, who left this world on August 27, 2024, at the age of 86. Valentins was a beloved husband, father, and grandfather, whose life was filled with warmth, joy, and an enduring sense of humor.

Valentins was born in Moscow, Russia, where he spent the early years of his life. Later, he moved to Latvia, where he met the love of his life, Ludmila, and had his daughter Sabina. Their 40 years of marriage were a testament to their deep love and companionship. Together, they built a life rich with memories and shared experiences.

In 2009, Valentins and Ludmila immigrated to Canada to be closer to their family. Valentins adored his family and is leaving behind his wife, Ludmila; daughter, Sabina Scafati, and her husband Marco; and his two cherished grandchildren, Anthony and Brandon Poon.

Valentins was known for his vibrant personality and infectious sense of humor. He welcomed everyone with open arms and was always the first to suggest a celebration. His favorite phrase, "Наливай," which means "Let's have a drink!", was a reflection of his love for bringing people together and sharing in the joys of life.

Valentins will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his spirit and the warmth he brought into the lives of those around him will be remembered forever.

In honour of Valentins, the family requests that you raise a glass to celebrate the life he lived so fully.
