In Celebration of

Raymond Dwyer

April 23, 1950 -  March 10, 2026


With heavy hearts, the family announces the passing of Raymond Dwyer on March 10, 2026. With his loving spouse by his side, Ray battled a lengthy illness with a quiet strength.

Survived by his wife, children (spouses), grandchildren, brother, and relatives.

Ray was a humble man with simple pleasures, content with his lot in life. He was calm and patient. Ray worked hard, never complained, always putting others first.

Family was so important to him. He had an unwavering devotion to his wife, Janice, and a great love for his children.

Some of Ray's favourite memories were of summers at the beloved cottage on Woodland Beach, building elaborate sandcastles with his children or simply playing board games with them on rainy days. Winters at the condo in Florida were also very special, with laughter on the tennis courts and frolicking in the pool. Ray loved baseball, especially watching a Jays game at the ballpark with his son.

Forever grateful for the guidance and expertise of the Movement Disorders Clinic, Toronto Western Hospital and the attentive staff and support given at Kipling Acres Long-Term Care. One will never forget the tender loving care, kindness and compassion by PSW'S Mandeep, Gina and Natasha.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Kipling Acres Long-Term Care Home, Etobicoke, ON for enhancement of resident programs or to the Movement Disorders Clinic, Toronto Western Hospital.

Visitation will be held on Monday, March 23, 2026 from 5-8 p.m., at Turner & Porter Butler Chapel, 4933 Dundas St. W., Etobicoke.

Funeral Mass will be at 10:30 a.m., on Tuesday, March 24, 2026 at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church, 3914 Bloor St. W., Etobicoke.

Interment to follow at Parklawn Cemetery, 2845 Bloor St. W., Etobicoke.

In Ray's memory, always choose kindness.

Our deepest condolences. Ray was always warm, friendly, and welcoming. Even at our last meeting, he smiled at our silly jabs . He did his best to let us know that he was present with us. He will be sorely missed by all that knew him.
