February 28, 1979 - July 22, 2017

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Daniel (Dan) Jason Tonaj, beloved son, brother and uncle. Daniel passed at his home in Kitchener, Ontario on Saturday, July 22, 2017 at the age of 38. He will be forever missed by his parents Gloria Zoratti, Mark and Debbie Tonaj. Dan was adored by his sisters Melissa, Chantal, Eryn, Devon and Sarah; admired by his nephews Owen and Keaton; cherished by his grandparents Marty and Pauline Tonaj, Clelia and the late Jerry Zoratti, Ruth and Gerry LaFreniere, his aunts and uncles, Joe and Sue (godparents), Paul and Cindra, Larry and Monica, Marino and Denise, Michael and Sandra, and the late Sandy and the late Denise, as well as his many cousins, extended family and friends.

Daniel was born on February 28, 1979 in Hamilton. Dan loved sports, with a particular fondness for hockey and golf. A musical maestro, Dan was always excited to serenade his family and friends at any occasion. When he wasn’t toiling away on large-scale home improvement projects, Dan loved to sing and socialize with friends at Tracie’s Place Restaurant and Karaoke in Hamilton. A skilled handyman, Dan often spent weekends assisting family and friends with home projects, expecting nothing in return aside from quality time with those he loved most.
