161266 pignetti 8x10

He was born in a small Town in Abruzzo Italy, immigrated to Canada at a young age for a better future for his family, passed away Monday Evening April 27, 2026 alongside his loving wife Maria and his daughter Flora and son Anthony.

Missed by his brother and sisters in Italy, his grandchildren Melissa, Daniel, Danica and Natalie, great grandchildren Damain, Marlowe and Remy and all his other family members and friends.

Dante Pignetti loved watching sports and played soccer both in Italy and Canada, he was a great husband but most of all he was the best father ever. Definitely one of a kind, he was a devoted family man who cherished spending time with his family and friends.

The last few months Dante fought a long battle with dementia and spent his last days with Special Care at The Cortellucci Hospital in Vaughan. We would like to thank all of the doctors and nurses for their attention to detail and supervision – he will be missed by anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
