I am mortified to hear such tragic news on our little Fabio that my mom used to babysit when he was a child.
My deepest condolences to the Mother Maria,Loredana and her family and Mirella and her Family, from a dear neighbour who shared a beautiful friendship with your family and saw our Dear Fabio grow up. What a shame.
Can you contact me at 0872 609225 , in Italy, or my email address is [email protected]. I would appreciate a simple email with Maria's phone number so I can call to talk to her.
My prayers are with you all, especially his lovely wife and children.

My deepest sympathies goes to all of Fabios family from an old neighbour that has not seen him or the family for many many years. We moved back to Italy in 1983 and lost track. He must have been an amazing person. May he rest in peace.CATHY Sisti

How fortunate I was to be a part of Fabio's learning platform.
To watch him participate in his first hair design competition, work on his first in-class client and to share daily laughs as we all came together with vision. His passion for hairdressing was exuberant. Finding out that he had made it to the top was not a surprise, he knew what he wanted and worked hard for it. From what Ive come to learn Fabio was his own success and had a beautiful life, its just unfortunate that it was taken from him much to early. Sadness and pain will be felt by many but time will play its part and help with much healing.
The best we can do collectively is to "PAY IT FORWARD" by sharing with others what Fabio would gladly share with us, his love, kindness, compassion, humour, vision, hope and his passion for life.This will keep his light shinning here on earth. Take a moment, look up to Fabio and smile, Im sure he would love that. I send blessings and white light to all family members and close friends of Fabio's especially his mother.

My deepest condolences to Fab's family and friends on such a tragic and senseless loss. I went to high school with Fab. It's been many years since I'd seen him but it's clear that his infectious smile and giving heart have touched so many people through his life. May God bless you all.

My deepest condolences to Fabio's family. His life was shortened but he touched so many people's lives and will be remembered for his love for life; his kindness; his humour and his laughter. I remember our elementary school days at R.W. Scott he would enlighten the hallways and bring smiles to many of his classmates and teachers. Fabio will always be remembered for who he was-a wonderful person. As for his mom, Maria, and his family, may God give you strength to carry on as Fabio would have wanted you too. A big hug from the Vecchiarelli family at Dufferin & St. Clair where we all made our first footprints together. Rest in peace Fabio until we meet again. Deepest sympathy.

I went to high school with Fabio, and although I haven't seen him in quite a while, I have the clearest image in my mind of him creating so much joy with his sense of humour, day in and day out. I hope it's some small solace to his family that there are thousands of people in the world today who've been inspired by his goodness and generosity. Rest in peace, Fab!
