We are deeply saddened to announce the loss of Nicholas (Nick) Silieff of Carleton Place, who passed away on June 22, 2025, at the age of 71.
Nick was the loving spouse of Joanne (MacInnis) for 51 years. He was the proud father of Jennifer (Andy), Lisa (Brent), and Nick Jr. (Julie). Cherished grandfather to Spencer, Lexi, Darren, Fiona, Owen, and Emily. He is also survived by his sisters Patricia and Elizabeth (Walter), and was predeceased by his sister Tania (Mahmood).
Born and raised in Ottawa, Nick had a lifelong love of hockey—whether playing, coaching, or cheering on his kids, grandkids, or the Ottawa Senators. He also enjoyed golfing and fishing with friends and was a fan of many sports.
Nick began his career at BNR (Nortel) and went on to work more than 25 years in Ottawa’s tech industry. He took great pride in mentoring young talent and helping shape many successful careers.
The family will be holding a private event in Nick’s honour. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.
Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at Barker Funeral Home.
