Edison Aslanfard
December 25, 1948 - Wednesday, November 15th, 2023
It is with a heavy heart to announce that Edison (Eddy) Aslanfard, left this world on November 15, 2023 at 11:04pm.
He was 74 years old, just shy of his 75th birthday, which would have been on December 25.
He will be sadly missed and will always hold a place in our hearts.
Devoted husband to Sylvana, his beloved wife of almost 50 years. Helpful father to 2 daughters, Tania and Tasha, and most loving Papa to his little prince, Haedyn, and his 2 grand-fur babies, Barkley and Cleo.
Eddy was stubborn at times, but he also had an enormous heart and unique sense of humor. He was generous, loyal, and brave.
Eddy’s battle with years of medical issues showed his courage in facing life challenges with a smile.
Despite the pain he felt on the inside, his strong-will always prevailed and he came out a little less grumpy on the other side. For those that knew him well, Eddy considered himself a “doctor without the diploma” and made friends wherever he went.
He could start a conversation with anyone about anything and found his own ways to make you laugh and smile. Eddy may have complained more than complimented, but he never hung up the phone without saying “I love you” and in his final days, he was sure to let us know just how much we meant to him.
He would always say, “I love you as much as you love me”. So this is for you, Dad, ‘we love you as much as you loved us’. You are finally at peace, pain-free, in paradise. In typical Eddy fashion, there are no traditional services planned, certainly no pomp and circumstance as he was simple man.
To honor Eddy’s memory, we are holding a celebration of his life on Thursday, November 23, 2023 at BARNES MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME 5295 Thickson Rd. N, Whitby, ON L1M 1W9 between 2-4 pm and 6-8pm.
We invite anyone who knew him to attend and remember all the good times.
We ask attendees to dress comfortably, just as Eddy would have done, and bring a memory or story to share.
