It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Manuel Sousa on February 15, 2026, at the age of 74. Manuel was a kind, gentle, and genuine man whose warmth and easy smile left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. He will be remembered for his generous spirit, his quiet strength, and the love he gave so freely to his family and friends.

Manuel leaves behind his devoted wife, Nancy; his beloved daughter, Christina (Rob); foster daughter Leanne Kasian and his cherished grandchildren, Malory, Madysen, and Marcel, who brought immense joy and pride to his life. He is also survived by his loving sisters, Maria, Ilda, and Connie, and his brother, Danny.

He was predeceased by his dear son, Marcel, and by his parents, Maria and Manuel, who he held close in his heart throughout his life.

Family was everything to Manuel. He found his greatest happiness in time spent together — sharing stories, laughter, and simple moments that became treasured memories. His legacy of love, kindness, and dedication to those he cared about will continue to live on in all who were fortunate enough to know him.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, March 5th at 12:00 p.m. at Earl Grey Community Centre, 360 Cockburn Street. All who knew and loved Manuel are welcome to attend and honor his memory.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
