GALILEE, Warren - Passed away on April 27, 2021, at Grand River Hospital, at the age of 49, after suffering a stroke.
Devastated by the loss are Elizabeth Heald, his wife of 23 years, and his beautiful daughter, Madison Galilee.
He is reunited in heaven with his late son Dylan Galilee who passed away in 2008, at the age of 6, due to complications from undiagnosed Kawasaki disease.
Warren was also predeceased by his father-in-law, Lance Heald, and his grandparents, Warren and Grace Smithers. Warren will be greatly missed by his parents, Masey John Galilee and Elizabeth Mary Anne Galilee.
His kind-hearted nature will also be missed by his mother-in-law, Janet Heald, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Warren was born with congenital heart disease that led him to have three open-heart surgeries in his life to repair and then replace his heart valve.
This, however, did not impact Warren's love of life. He was active and healthy, and always bounced back quickly from these interventions.
Warren and Elizabeth were deeply connected. They were each other's best friend and soulmate, and seldom was a cross word spoken in their home.
Madison also had a very special bond with her Dad. He called her every day on his way to or from work to share some funny story, or just to say he loved her.
He will be missed. Warren's family will receive friends and colleagues from 2:00-4:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 2, 2021 and 5:00-7:00 p.m. on Monday, May 3, 2021 at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, Kitchener.
Warren will be cremated and a private memorial service will be held. A Celebration of Warren's Life will be held at Elizabeth and Warren's home on Saturday, June 19, 2021 – if pandemic restrictions allow – or at a later date.
As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Dylan and Warren Galilee "Love, Joy, Laughter" Fund at Kitchener Waterloo Community Foundation (kwcf.ca/galilee) or to the charity that Elizabeth and Warren co-founded in memory of Dylan, Kawasaki Disease Canada (kdcanada.org), would be appreciated by the family.
