With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Claudio Puddu, who left us peacefully at home on October 20, 2025, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Claudio was a man of great integrity and devotion, a loving husband, father, brother, and friend. He found joy in life’s simple pleasures — cooking, fishing, enjoying the outdoors, and sharing laughter and meals with those he loved most.

He will be deeply missed by his devoted wife Donna, his sons Anthony (Jackie) and Marco, his sisters Josie (Sal Bagazzoli) and Silvana, and his brother Antioco (Sue). He is also lovingly remembered by his mother-in-law Carol Dumouchel, sisters- and brothers-in-law Dianne (Randy), Debra, Jim (Susie), his zia’s Gemma and Graziella Massarella, and many cherished nieces, nephews, and friends. Claudio is predeceased by his beloved parents Fernando and Gina Puddu, and his father-in-law Jeanot Dumouchel.

A heartfelt thank you goes to Nurse Kimberly West, whose daily visits, uplifting spirit, and famously corny jokes brought Claudio much comfort and light. Though sorrow may touch our hearts, we know this is not the end. We have journeyed through many lives together and we will meet again.

A visitation will take place on Sunday October 26, from 1-3 p.m., at Bay Gardens Funeral Home, located on 947 Rymal Road East, in Hamilton. A Funeral Service will commence in the Chapel at 3.p.m. Cremation will follow.

Claudio will be held dear in the hearts of his family, relatives, and many friends. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Claudio, may be made to the charity of your choice.

The family wishes to extend great thanks for all the love and support during this difficult time.
