Nobuo Suzuki

In Loving Memory of Nobuo Suzuki
September 28, 1935 – January 2, 2025

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Nobuo (Nobby) Suzuki, who peacefully left this world in his sleep at the age of 89.

A devoted husband for 63 wonderful years, he shared an unbreakable bond with his beloved wife, Kyoko (Kay), who lovingly cared for him in his later years. Their enduring love and devotion to one another were a testament to a life well-lived together.

Nobby is survived by his cherished wife, two sons, Steven (Trish), Glen (Robyn) and his treasured grandchild Emerson. He also leaves behind three of his siblings, Tad (Kay), Chiyo (late Cecil Mahabir), Tami (Ken Sagara) as well as many members of his extended family. His warmth and laughter will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

He is now reunited with his parents, Sukesaburo and Ko, as well as his siblings, Fujiko Harada, Kimiko Nagai, Masako Uchida, Sho (Art), Eiji (Eric). Nobby was one of nine children who deeply valued the ties that bound his family together.

Nobby was a social and spirited soul who loved life and brought laughter to all who knew him. In retirement, he joined ACTRA and delighted in being an extra in many television shows and movies. Whether enjoying music, playing cards, or spending time with family and friends, he found happiness in every moment. An avid jokester, he had a unique gift for making others smile and laugh, leaving behind memories that will warm our hearts for years to come.

The past two years of his life were spent at Regina Gardens Long Term Care Home, where he was cared for with respect, kindness, and compassion. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the staff for their exceptional care and support.

A private celebration of life will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to McMaster Children's Hospital.

Rest in peace.

Dear Kay and family ,
We were sorry to hear of Nobby's passing. We met him at Wed. euchre at the CJCC. He had an unique personality- he always said what was on his mind. He loved playing cards and later I saw that he loved singing too. He was a friendly person and had a warm smile to greet people. He will be missed by many. May your cherished memories comfort you at this time. He may be gone from the earth but will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. Sending our thoughts and prayers to the whole family.

Sorry to hear of Mr Suzuki’s passing. Have many great memories of time spent at your home in Buchanan Park. I always tried to be funny just so I could hear him laughing. Such a wonderful laugh. I’ll remember him just like that.

Dear Kay, Steve,Trish,Em, Glen and Robyn
Our thoughts are with you all. We are sending you love. We will remember Nobby’s smile and sense of humour. Ted has fond memories of Nobby driving the boys all around on fishing adventures and of late night trips to Ding Ho. The Suzuki household was always fun and loving.
