Jose Edward Barbosa
May 27, 1965 - October 3, 2024

Ed (Jose) Barbosa, 59, passed away peacefully in his home in Orono, surrounded by his loved ones, on Thursday, October 3, after a brave battle with cancer. He was born on the largest island of the Azores, Sao Miguel, and was raised in Toronto, Ontario. He was a devoted partner of 42 years to Tina Barbosa, a beloved father to Lindsea (Jeff) and Chelsea (Brian), and a loving Pa to Adelyn. Ed is survived by his brothers Jerry (Sandy), George (Cecilia) and Joao (Fatima), as well as his nieces and nephew. His parents, Jose and Valentina, and his grandson Rory, predeceased him.

All who knew him will fondly remember his loving and passionate spirit. Ed had a wonderful sense of humour and was the life of every party. Above all else, Ed lived for his family. He never missed one of his daughters’ ringette games or any of his wife’s races. Ed’s family will never forget the endless love and support he gave them.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, October 12, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Newcastle Funeral Home (386 Mill St S.), with a service to follow.

Our family would like to thank the Cancer Care Center at Lakeridge Health Oshawa for the care & support they provided Ed and our family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cancer Center at https://www.lhfoundation.ca/.
