THOMPSON, Andrew Murray

THOMPSON, Andrew Murray – Tuesday, July 8th, 1975 - Saturday, August 31st, 2024
Peacefully on Saturday, August 31, 2024 at Lakeridge Health Oshawa with his wife and sister by his side following a courageous battle with Glioblastoma.
Survived by his best friend and beloved wife, April (née Stauffer). He was an amazing father to son, Luke. He was the middle child of Murray and Sharion Thompson (née Herdman) and thoroughly embraced that role through his independent and sometimes contrary nature. He will be dearly missed by his big sister Lucinda (Arden) and younger brother Neil (Marlene). His many in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and neighbours will remember him for his kind heart, helpful nature and when needed brutal honesty, always delivered with humour and love. Andrew will be missed by his dog Daisy, who is proud to have converted him to dog-person. He was predeceased by his cat Seamus, who we are sure is happy to have his favorite lap now available.
Andrew was an avid athlete in his youth and was especially proud of passing on this legacy to his son Luke. Andrew worked locally in the Grocery industry for over 30 years. In this role he was a mentor to many, always teaching and passing on his love of learning to others.
Andrew loved to learn, which he demonstrated over the years by teaching himself skills ranging from 3D animation to audio equipment repair to construction. He was a quintessential Dad and loved being called on to fix things or DJ at the school events. Above all, Andrew always put the needs of others above his own and never wanted attention on his own accomplishments or generosity.
Special thanks to our Durham West Home Palliative Team, especially Corrine, Melissa and Sondra who helped make these last few months more comfortable. The loving care of the Lakeridge Health Oshawa Palliative Team will always be remembered, as they eased Andrew’s transition to be as peaceful as possible. The Neuro-Oncology team in The Pencer Brain Tumour Centre at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre fought with us to beat the odds and give us more than 2 years with Andrew. A special thank you to Dr. Barbara Ann Miller, our radiation oncologist, for her ongoing support and candor.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Hearth Place Cancer Support Centre in Oshawa or a fund to support Luke’s athletic aspirations and education through transfers to andrew_m_t@hotmail.com. A Celebration of Life will be held at W.C. Town Funeral Chapel, 110 Dundas Street East, on Thursday, September 5, 2024 from 3 to 6pm.

TSAI, Neveen Judy Tsai - November 29, 1964 – August 27, 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce that Neve Tsai (maiden name Howard) passed away in the afternoon of Tuesday, August 27th, 2024, surrounded by the love of her husband, three children, parents and siblings. Neve was born in Calgary, Alberta, on November 29th, 1964. Her family settled in Oakville, Ontario, where she was raised by her parents, Brian and Aideen, and grew up alongside her sister Rochenda and brothers Neil and Phil Howard. Neve went to study English at the University of Toronto, where she met her husband, Dave. It was love at first sight for Dave; he even told his friends that Neve would be the woman he would marry the first time he saw her. As fate would have it, the two married on June 12th, 1993. They welcomed their first child Rochelle in 1995, followed by Erica in 1997 and Liam in 2003. Neve lived a healthy and active lifestyle. She loved playing tennis, reading, being in nature, going to the cottage and travelling. She was actively involved in her children’s sports and loved attending their games. She dreamed of being an author and wrote a romance novel that her children are finishing for her and promised to get published. Neve was a wonderful person and impacted many people around her. Despite doing a lot of good in her lifetime, the accomplishments that she was most proud of were her beautiful marriage to Dave and their three incredible children. Knowing she raised them all to be strong and good people gave her great peace.
Neve never wanted to be remembered as a sick person as she spent the majority of her life extremely healthy. She did, however, want to bring more awareness to metastatic breast cancer. Breast cancer fundraisers are everywhere, but most of the money raised goes toward breast cancer prevention and early detection efforts, with under 5% going towards metastatic breast cancer, even though it causes the majority of breast cancer deaths.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Rethink Breast Cancer, an organization that focuses on women diagnosed at a younger age, those with metastatic breast cancer, and people systematically marginalized due to other factors within the social determinants of health. The website is: https://rethink-breast-cancer.raisely.com/
A private funeral service will be held at Oshawa Funeral Home on Friday, September 6th, at 1:30 in the afternoon. The family will be hosting a celebration of life for Neve at a later date.
