Domenico “Domenic” Agostino

It is with deep sadness and much love that we announce the peaceful passing of our dear husband, father, Nonno, and brother, Domenico “Domenic” Agostino, in Markham, surrounded by the love of his family.

Domenic was born in Mammola, Reggio Calabria, Italy, to the late Nicodemo and Giuseppina Agostino. At just 15 years old, he immigrated to Canada with courage and determination, where he began his lifelong trade as a barber. Through hard work and dedication, he built a beautiful life and family.

He shared an incredible 60 years of marriage with his beloved wife, Maria Concetta, a true testament to love, commitment, and partnership.

Domenic was known for his joyful spirit. He was happy, giving, fun, and hardworking—often the light of every party, bringing laughter, warmth, and energy wherever he went. He had a way of making people feel welcome and valued, leaving a lasting impression on everyone he met.

He was a devoted and loving father to Nick (Jackie), Frank, and Paul, and a proud and cherished Nonno to his granddaughters, Marina (Luke) and Alana (Sarah). His love for his family was endless, and his pride in them was felt in every moment they shared.

Later in life, Domenic faced health challenges following a stroke at retirement, which led to dementia. Through it all, he remained strong and resilient—never complaining and always making the best of each day, showing quiet courage and grace.

Domenic was predeceased by his siblings, the late Vincenzo (Amelia) and late Raffaela (late Joseph). He is lovingly remembered by his sisters, Carmela (Antonio) and Josie (Rocco).

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved him.
