It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Gordon Ludvig Nielsen on Sept 15, 2025, a man whose life was a testament to kindness, patience, courage, love and unwavering compassion. Gordon was a devoted husband to Zahra Ramji, a loving father to his sons Dustin (Cynthia Mennear) and Nikolas (Jennifer Hunter), a cherished grandfather to Rowan and Wyatt and loving brother to his sister Margo LaValley (Glen) and brother David Nielsen (Paula Schwann).

It is with sad hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Maria Joanna Riley. Maria, age 75 years, died peacefully at Lions Gate Hospital on May 25, 2025 after suffering a stroke.
