GUZMAN , Jaime (Jamie) Guzman

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Jaime Guzman on August 18, 2025, in Toronto, Canada, at the age of 83.

Jaime was born on May 11, 1942, in Cali, Colombia, to Francisco Guzman and Rosalbina Guzman Ramos. The second eldest of eight children, he grew up in Colombia before moving to Canada in 1967 in search of a better life. He first lived in Montreal and later settled in Toronto, where he met and married Maria (née Rodriguez), his loving wife of many years.

He will be forever missed by Maria, his daughter Cindy and her husband Cary, and his grandchildren Carter and Cody, who brought him endless joy.

Jaime worked as a technician at Bell Canada for 22 years and was known for his strong work ethic. Outside of work, he loved running and proudly completed many marathons. He also enjoyed cycling, walking his dogs Bruno and Toby, and spending time with his grandchildren. Family was very important to him, and he helped many of his relatives start new lives in Canada with the same kindness and generosity he showed to everyone he knew.

Jaime will be remembered as a gentle, caring man whose quiet strength touched many lives.

A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, September 6, 2025, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Cardinal Funeral Home, 92 Annette Street, Toronto, Ontario.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jaime’s memory to Parkinson Canada, UNICEF Canada, or Doctors Without Borders.

Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at Cardinal Funeral Homes.
