GRAVES, Adam Richard Graves
GRAVES, Adam Richard Graves -
November 15, 1987 - April 12, 2024
Beloved husband, father, son, brother and friend, Adam Richard Graves, passed away on 12 April 2024 at the age of 36.
Adam died in Toronto, Canada where he was living with his loving wife Clare and their beautiful 20-month old son, Cayden.
His family and friends are in shock at Adam’s sudden and untimely passing, and grateful to the many people who have expressed their own sadness at this loss.
Hearing happy stories of Adam, sharing special memories and receiving offers of support through this incredibly difficult time have been hugely comforting to Clare and the family. Adam was born on 15 November 1987 in Chester to Ellen and Colin Graves.
He grew up with sister Charlotte in Ellesmere Port and attended The Firs Primary School and Wirral Grammar School.
At school he excelled at English Literature, Music and Media. At Yale College in Wrexham, he started on his path towards a visual effects career, studying A-Levels including Film Studies, Media Studies
and Art, before commencing his degree in Film & Television Studies at Aberystwyth University.
He was always self-motivated and knew exactly what he wanted to do; where many young people attempt different careers, drifting between jobs and changing their course, Adam was always determined to pursue a career in television and film effects, and was keen to put in the hard graft to get there.
It was at Aberystwyth University that he met and fell in love with Clare and after completing their degrees, they moved to London to pursue their respective careers: Adam in visual effects and Clare in teaching. They worked hard, living in a tiny flat in King’s Cross, and enjoyed exploring the city at the weekend, making new friends and frequenting the local pubs.
In 2017, an exciting job opportunity as a Compositor for Legend 3D presented itself, so Clare and Adam took a huge step and moved to Toronto – the home of the film production industry. It was competitive but Adam threw himself into his passion for film and television and kept climbing up the ladder. Adam and Clare enjoyed their lives in Canada, laying down roots when they adopted their cat, Smudge, and enjoying their shared interests of WWE and Formula One.
When he passed, Adam was working as Creative Head and Visual Effects Supervisor at Vitamin VFX. He had recently discovered that he has been nominated twice for Achievement in Visual Effects at the 2024 Canadian Screen Awards, akin to the Baftas and Oscars.
His family and friends were so proud of his tenacity, his dedication and the responsibility he felt to support his family. In March 2018, Adam proposed to Clare on the seafront at Aberystwyth, outside of The Bay, a bar where they had originally met. This was done in front of Clare’s Dad as one of his final wishes, and it was magical to share this happy occasion together. In 2022, Adam and Clare became parents to their vibrant, happy boy, Cayden and were married the following year back in the UK.
Adam was delighted to be a dad, and never happier than when he was making Cayden laugh, and spending time together as a family at Niagara Falls. Clare was thrilled to experience Adam as a father, and after the loss of her own dad in July 2018 and Adam’s mum in November 2022, their family was finally able to share some joy and peace. It is these cherished memories that will live with Clare forever, and which she will work hard to share with Cayden as he grows.
It is vital to Clare and the whole family that Cayden knows as much as possible about his dad, and the wonderful bond they shared that tragically ended too soon.
Adam’s funeral service will be held at 1.00pm on Friday 26 April at: The SIMPLE ALTERNATIVE FUNERAL CENTRE - PICKERING 1057 Brock Road Pickering, ON L1W 3T7 Prior to this, from 12.00pm - 1.00pm, visitation will be available for friends and colleagues, should they wish to say a personal goodbye to Adam. After the funeral, there will be a gathering at the family home: 24-1350 Glenana Road Pickering, ON L1V 2V9
Anyone who knew and loved Adam is welcome to attend, and the family is grateful to anyone who would like to come and pay their respects. On this site, there is a digital guestbook where you are invited to leave condolences and happy memories of Adam, as well as a media area for music, photos or videos. If you could take a moment to write about the times you shared with Adam, and upload any images you have of him, these will be collected for Cayden to enjoy and learn more about his dad in the coming years.
The whole Graves family would like to thank everyone who was part of Adam’s life and brought joy to him, offered him opportunities to grow and put a smile on his face.
His life was too short, but he lived bravely and we are choosing to celebrate his memory and show thanks for his life.

DESLANDES, Paul Anthony Deslandes
DESLANDES, Paul Anthony Deslandes -
November 10, 1965 - April 11, 2024
Paul Anthony Deslandes was born on November 10, 1965, in Kingston, Jamaica through the loving union of Ivy May Deslandes and Jerome Alphonso Deslandes.
He was the youngest of their nine children. Paul spent his formative years in Jamaica, while attending Mico Practicing All Age School. He emigrated to Toronto, Ontario, Canada to join his mother Ivy and sister Jean in 1975, where he attended elementary and post secondary school.
Paul was passionate about food and became an outstanding cook and baker after experimenting with his mother’s recipes, cookbooks, and drawing inspiration from the Food Network.
He had so much insight and knowledge about different types of foods, herbs, and spices, and created his own rubs and sauces. He was also very health conscious, and knowledgeable about the healing properties of various plants, fruits, and vegetables - often educating his family about these provisions and creating remedies when they were sick. Although self-taught, Paul was a chef and an herbalist in his own right!
As a musicologist, Paul really loved music and knew a great deal about music (reggae, R&B, hip-hop and soul), as well as different artists. He was an avid collector of records, cassettes and CDs.
With his knowledge and expertise of the different genre in music, he exposed his family and younger generations to his unique collections. He even fronted as a music producer to get his nieces and nephews to sing over mixed tunes. As the family DJ, he often played music at events such as birthdays and other gatherings.
Paul took great pride in his custom music systems that he built himself from salvaging broken speakers, repairing them, and making them better than they were in the first place. The house was always filled with music that he played from his custom systems.
It soothed his soul knowing that others could share the experience and the intricacies of the music he enjoyed by his favourite reggae artists including Sanchez, Wayne Wonder, Luciano, Garnet Silk, Frankie Paul, Beres Hammond, Super Cat, Shaggy, Sean Paul, Rayvon, Heavy D, Biggy Small, Tupac, Usher, Mary J Blige, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, Anita Baker, Safe and Toni Braxton, just to name a few. Paul aka (Pablo) was first called Pablo by his sister Patricia, because of his musical talents that reminded her of a reggae artist named Augustus Pablo. Paul had a mellow personality that was like a gentle, humble giant, not to mention his amusing sense of humor. Those close to Paul knew that they could always give him a call if they were ever feeling down.
This is because Paul was very
compassionate, patient, loving, and kind especially towards his nieces and nephews. It was endearing to Paul to be called “Pablo” by close family and friends.
Paul was very spiritual, holding a strong belief in the Creator. He turned to the Lord and often read his bible. He shared this with his family to ensure that they do the same. It is for this reason that we know that he is certainly in a much better place now. Paul passed away on April 11, 2024, and left behind a loving extended family and a circle of friends.
He leaves behind his eight siblings who love him dearly: Sonia, Valerie, Michael, Audrey, Jean, Patricia, Rose, and Andrea.
He also left behind twelve nieces and nephews who loved him dearly: Marsha, Shelene, Christel, Kisrene, Shawna, Aundre, Sheldon, Daniella, Tanya, Lache, Sade, and Miguel. Additionally, twenty-one grand nieces and nephews including: Daniel, Allysha, Kaisha, Jarell, Kahelle, Brooklyn, Dana, Jorell, Tejean, Thalia, Summer, Kianna, Isabella, Ashton, Chandler, Krystal, Elijah, Gabrielle, Raven, Isaac, and Olivia.
Along with great grand nieces and nephews including: Channing, Harper, Denver, Avah, Zayn, Chosen. Lastly, Paul also left behind his loving aunt, Francis Rose Carey, cousins, extended families and friends.
Paul was preceded in death by his loving father Jerome, mother Ivy, niece Dionne, and nephew Marlon. Paul will forever be remembered as a wonderful brother, uncle, cousin and friend, and for his fun personality, humour, love, empathy and compassion for others, passion for music and food, and all the amazing memories.
He has left a lasting impression on all those who met him, to live life to our full capacity and following our passion.
Paul reminds us all to love one another and always trust the Creator.
