Obituary of EDUARDO MEDEIROS GATA

EDUARDO MEDEIROS GATA

Peacefully with family by his side, Eduardo passed away on October 20, 2021 at the age of 74.

He was predeceased by his parents Manuel Medeiros Gata and Luisa Varao.

Eduardo is lovingly remembered by his wife Maria Judite, children Paula (Antonio) Soares; David (Melissa) Gata; grandchildren Isabella, Dominic, Angelica and Miguel.

He leaves his brother Pedro, Sisters Luisa and Ana; numerous nieces, nephews and Godchildren and cousins, all who he adored.

Eduardo was born in Sao Miguel, Acores on January 30, 1947.  In 1965, Eduardo immigrated to Montreal, then Toronto and settled in Winnipeg in 1968.  Eduardo married the love of his life Maria Judite in 1969.

Second to his family, Eduardo’s passion was working for CN Rail for 34 years, which he loved and spoke of daily; as was his green lawn and garden that were the envy of the neighbourhood.  

Nothing compared to the love he had for his grandchildren who he would go to the moon and back for.

Funeral services will be held on Monday, October 25, 2021 at Cropo Funeral Chapel 1442 Main Street at 10:00 AM, interment to follow at Assumption Cemetery.

Proof of vaccination will be required.
