TREVISAN, Danilo Luigi (Dan)

With deepest sorrow, we announce the passing of Danilo Trevisan on May 24, 2017 at age 71. Dan died peacefully at home surrounded by his family. He was the loving husband of Mary Ann (nee Mahony), and proud father of Steven (Julie), Lisa (Jeff Simpson), Sean (Rob Stockman) and Julie (Jason Gordon). He was a devoted Nonno to grandchildren Chris and Sarah Trevisan and Emily and Cara Gordon. He is also survived by his sister, Nellie Belluz-Hall, and a loving extended family of brothers- and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews. Dan was predeceased by his parents, Rosa and Giuseppe Trevisan.

Dan was a committed high school teacher who worked for the Hamilton Wentworth Catholic District School Board for over 20 years. He had an incredible ability to connect with people, building relationships with students and colleagues alike. An avid cook and gardener, Dan was energetic and optimistic even in the face of his long illness. His wit, thoughtfulness and compassion will be dearly missed.

The family would like to extend sincere thanks to Dr. Imre Szilvassy, Dr. Christian Finley, Dr. Rosalyn Juergens and the staff of Juravinski Cancer Center. Thanks also to the VON nurses and palliative care team who provided assistance and support. Memorial donations can be made to the Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre Foundation.

MaryAnn, Steve, Lisa, Sean and Julie. Our deepest condolences on Danny's passing Danny has been in our lives from the time he used to torment Lil and Barb DeNardis on bus rides to Bishop Ryan in the morning. We were classmates at B.R. and we were also on the celtic football team as team mates. Danny was the only defensive back who wore glasses, but his speed made up for his lack of vision and no receiver ever got behind Dan Trevisan. We landed at Western together and it was there that Danny refined his love of the spoken word. so much so that Danny was one of the first BR graduates to be invited back to teach English at BR. He quickly worked his way up the ranks and became the first assistant head of English at Bishop Ryan High school. He took a turn in his career pathway and worked at IBM but soon returned to teaching and when computers came on the scene he took to them like a duck to water. He became the knowledgeable nerd who was willing to help one and all with computer problems, his only compensation was the odd coke. A very intelligent man with a rapier sharp wit always encouraging others to read and grow. When we set up the first window based computer lab at St. Charles Continuing Education Danny was there lending a hand. He suffered much with no complaining that was his nature. We pray and hope that the good Lord will welcome Danny with open arms.
