Renzo Cecon Obituary


October 27, 1951 – December 10, 2017

It is with overwhelming sadness that the family of Mr. Renzo Cecon announce his passing on Sunday, December 10, 2017 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Renzo was born in Canebola Italy and immigrated to Thunder Bay with his parents and sister at the age of five. Renzo grew up in Port Arthur. He attended Hillcrest High School and Lakehead University. Renzo spent the greater part of his life teaching with the Lakehead District School Board, at Westgate, Churchill and Hillcrest High schools, before ending his career working with at risk youth in off-campus settings. On June 12, 1976, Renzo married the love of his life Joanne (Chapeskie). Family was important to Renzo, and in their 41 years together he and Joanne raised 3 children and were blessed with 4 grandchildren. Renzo enjoyed spending time outdoors, cycling, skiing, kayaking and fishing with his family. He loved having his summers off as a teacher, and spent most of every summer at the family cottage. He is predeceased by his father, Ottavio Cecon. He is survived by his wife Joanne, his children Andrew, Jesslin (Kevin), and Jonathan (Randi) and his grandchildren Emma, Sabrina and Garbrielle Sim and Owen Cecon. Also left to mourn are his mother Celina Cecon and his sister Marcella Uhryniak (Murray) as well as his extended family. A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, December 14, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. in the Chapel of the Harbourview Funeral Centre. In lieu of flowers donations to the Canadian Liver Foundation would be greatly appreciated.

Renzo was a favourite friend of my family whom we saw far too seldom. He had a wonderful warmth, and his laugh made everyone better for hearing it. We send our hugs to you, Joanne, Marcella and Murray and your families. We will always remember Renzo with great affection and respect. Magda and the Godfrey Bosshardt family.
