EDWARD MACCHI Obituary
With incredible grief for our loss, yet deep gratitude for the life he shared with us, we announce the passing of Edward Louis Macchi, on Friday, August 16, 2024, surrounded by his family in prayer.
Eddie was born in Port Arthur, Ontario on June 3, 1937. He attended St. Joseph School and Port Arthur Collegiate Institute, and went on to study accounting which became his lifelong career. Eventually he retired from Lakehead Diesel & Hydraulics after 25 years.
Eddie was a true family man, always eager to help. A gentle, humble, loving husband and father, he was filled with love, especially for his wife, soulmate and best friend Sarah. He was beyond proud of his children and grandchildren and their accomplishments. An intelligent man, with a witty sense of humour, Eddie was brilliant with numbers. He was curious, energetic and genuinely filled with joy. He had a passion for music and few knew that he also had a beautiful voice, which continues to live on through his granddaughters. A devout and reverent Roman Catholic, he dedicated many years of service to St. Dominic Parish and the Diocese of Thunder Bay. Eddie was a quiet example of unwavering faith.
Eddie is survived by his wife Sarah of 64 years and his six children Christina, Frank (Janis), Rosemarie, Louise (Sam), Catherine (Dave), Sarah (Torben); Grandchildren Emily, Julia, Megan, Tara, Peter, Michael, Grace, Sophia, and Anna; in-laws Mary, Faye, Joe & Linda Figliomeni, as well as numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews. He was predeceased by his mother and father Rose & Louis Macchi, sister Mary (Ernie) Slongo, mother and father-in-law Rosa & Frank Figliomeni, and brothers-in-law Cos and Jim Figliomeni.
The Funeral Mass for Eddie will be held on Friday, August 23 at 11 AM at St. Dominic Church celebrated by Father Mike Mahoney and concelebrated by Monsignor Pat Stilla. Those who wish to express their condolences may do so by joining the family at the reception in the St. Dominic Church hall immediately after the Funeral Mass. A private interment will take place following the luncheon. In memory of Eddie, donations can be made to Saint Dominic Church in lieu of flowers.

Our heartfelt condolences and prayers to the Macchi family. Ed was a kind and gentle man, with an unwavering faith that was evident in all he did. We will miss his smiling face, and our happy chats with he and Sarah. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten. God bless and keep you all during this sad and difficult time.
Life is a journey of sweetness and sorrow,
Of yesterday’s memories and hopes for tomorrow.
Of pathways we choose and detours we face,
With patience and humour, courage and grace.
Of joys that we’ve shared and of people we’ve met,
Who have touched us in ways we will never forget.

My sincere sympathy for the passing of your Husband and Father. He was a patient and gentle man, always met me with a smile. It was warming to see him with Sarah, it was easy to see how they appreciated and cared for each other. I hope the emptiness that he leaves is filled with wonderful memories of life with this exceptional man. My thoughts are with all of you.
