Vito Lavallata

Vito Lavallata, a steadfast beacon of love and care, departed this world on June 3, 2025, leaving behind an irreplaceable void in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know him. Born on February 19, 1938, Vito embraced life with open arms, with a zest for adventure that was truly infectious. His spirit was woven into every fishing trip, journey taken, and game of soccer or hockey watched, reminding everyone that joy is found in the simple pleasures of life.

Vito’s warmth and genuine kindness were qualities that instantly drew people to him. He was not just a father to Grace and John, but also a devoted husband to his late wife, Anna. The love they cultivated was a testament to the beautiful partnership they shared, a foundation that enriched the lives of all around them. Cherished brother to Angelina and the late Maria.

At his core, Vito was a lover of nature. Fishing became not just a hobby, but a ritual where he found peace and reflection.

Vito also had a profound love for sports, particularly soccer and hockey, where the thrill of the game ignited a spark in his spirit. He would gather with friends and family, united by a shared excitement that transcended mere entertainment and became a celebration of community.

As we gather to celebrate Vito’s remarkable life, we invite those who loved him to join us for a visitation at Westminster Funeral & Reception Centre in Toronto from 4 PM to 8 PM on June 9, 2025. A funeral service will take place the following day, June 10, 2025 at 10 AM, followed by Entombment at Westminster Cemetery & Mausoleum at 10:45 AM.

As we bid farewell to a cherished soul, we carry forward his lessons of love, kindness, and unwavering support for one another. Rest in peace, Vito, your light will continue to shine brightly in our hearts.
