In Celebration of

Nestor Peter Paul Chabursky

July 8, 1934 -  April 30, 2024

Nestor passed away peacefully in his 89th year with his family by his side after a brief illness on April 30, 2024.

He was born in Lviv, Ukraine to Fr Stefan Chabursky and Nadia (nee Drohomorecky). He is predeceased by his sister, Ulana and his brother, Fr Ihor.

Having emigrated from Ukraine following the war, Nestor retained his life-long and deep love for his Ukrainian homeland where he continued to maintain contact with his remaining family there.

He married his wife Daria (nee Luczkiw) on August 31, 1957 and they spent 66 happy years together.

Nestor was the consummate company man who spent his entire career with General Foods. He was a great people person and loved his work. Upon retiring, he and Daria divided their time between their cottage at his beloved Wasaga Beach and their condo in Naples, Florida as well as other travel. Nestor became a member of the Canadian Executive Service Organization (CESO) and went on several overseas business missions for sales and marketing development.

Nestor continued to be busy through his commitment to parish work, first as the president of the parish committee of St Volodymyr’s church in Thornhill and, more recently, as an usher at St Demetrius the Great Martyr church.

Nestor had an amazing zest for life together with a wonderfully positive attitude and a great sense of humour. His joyful demeanour was infectious and brought happiness to all who had the privilege to know him. His favourite motto was “I will live until I die.” And live he did to the fullest until the Lord called Nestor home.

Nestor leaves behind his wife Daria and his daughter, Tanya and son-in-law Alex, together with his brother, Myron and his wife, Irene, sisters-in-law, Roma and Christine, and his many other nieces, nephews and members of his extended family in Canada and Ukraine.

In lieu of flowers, we would ask for prayers for the repose of Nestor’s soul and donations to the Canada-Ukraine Foundation.

Eternal Memory! Вічная Пам’ять!
