With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Edwin “Dween” Dalli on January 9, 2026. Edwin was a devoted and loving husband to his wife, Connie, a deeply cherished father to his daughters, Andi (Bonnie-Lyn) and Michelle, and a loyal brother to his siblings, Fred, Mary, Chuck and Doris. His family was his greatest pride and everything he did was rooted in his deep love and dedication to them.

As a husband, Edwin was steadfast, caring, and supportive. As a father, he expressed his love through life’s simple joys: firing up the barbecue for family gatherings, planning trips filled with laughter and adventure, and sharing his quick wit and playful teasing. He treasured time spent playing cards, enjoying a drink, and socializing with friends and family, always making everyone feel welcome and valued.

Edwin took great pride in his gardening skills. He tended to his flower beds with patience and care. He also had a remarkable ability to build things with his hands — projects created with strength, skill, and pride, many of which stand today as lasting reminders of his hard work. He was a creative, self-taught DIY guy who used every opportunity as a teaching moment for his daughters. Somehow, he always managed to find a naturally ingenious solution to any problem.

Known for his infectious wit and sarcastic humor, Edwin had a rare gift for turning ordinary moments into unforgettable memories. His greatest strengths were the personal connections he built with everyone he met and the love he poured into his family.

Though his absence leaves an immeasurable void, Edwin’s love, laughter, and unwavering presence will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew and adored him.

With gratitude, the family welcomes flowers or donations can be made to the Canadian Lung Association.
