October 30, 1945 – July 31, 2025
Fernando Campos passed away peacefully on July 31, 2025, at the age of 79, surrounded by the love of his family.
Born on October 30, 1945, in Portugal, Fernando immigrated to Canada in 1972, bringing with him a spirit of determination, resilience, and deep devotion to his loved ones. Over the decades, he built a life grounded in hard work, quiet strength, and unwavering values.
Fernando worked as a dedicated optical technician until his retirement. Meticulous in his craft, he was proud of his work and the people he helped throughout his career. But beyond his profession, Fernando was a man of rich interests and passions. A loyal supporter of the Benfica soccer team, he followed every match with enthusiasm and heart. In his younger years and well into later life, he found peace and joy in running. He had a keen eye for photography and captured everyday beauty with warmth and detail. Fernando also had a deep interest in politics and loved engaging in thoughtful, spirited conversations about the world around him.
In addition to his many accomplishments, Fernando’s strength and determination were never more evident than when he bravely conquered Leukemia (AML) eight years ago. He faced life’s challenges with quiet courage and a steady heart.
Above all, Fernando cherished his family. He is predeceased by his parents Luciano Campos (Father), Carlota Campos (Mother); and is survived by his beloved wife, Laurinda Campos (Brito); his sons Jason (partner Christa Duggan), Allan, and Kevin; and his treasured grandchildren, Aidan and Gavin. He also leaves behind his dear sister, Raquel Valentin (Antonio Valentin), along with many loving nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who will carry his memory with them always.
Fernando will be remembered for his integrity, his gift for storytelling and jokes, his unwavering loyalty, and the genuine love he gave so freely to those around him. Though his presence will be deeply missed, the impact of his life continues to live on in the hearts and lives of all who knew him.
A private family service will be held to honor his life. In Fernando’s memory, the family invites you to take a walk, snap a photo, or cheer for Benfica — just as he would have.
