Obituary
Francisco O. Lagundi passed away peacefully at the age of 47 on the morning of Monday, December 17, 2018 at Scarborough General Hospital in Scarborough, Ontario. He was born on October 4, 1971 in Tuguegarao, Philippines. He migrated to Canada in 1992. Attended Devry College of Institute in 1993 to 1996, where he graduated as a Valedictorian in Electronics Engineering Technician.
Francis worked as a Bench Technician in the barcode industry for many years, a career which he really enjoyed and loved. He not only knew how to fix and program handheld barcode devices but he also knew how to fix computers. He was an avid fan of Ian Broudie of The Lightning Seeds, well known for his heart-shaped carrots, played endless nights of World of Warcraft (at least before he met his wife), and never missed an episode of Game of Thrones. Camping on weekends with his family and friends was one of his favorite activities during the summer months. Never start a conversation with a) his beloved Maple Leaf team and b) the politics, because Francis really, as in, really gets into it. Music was his passion. He was a retired DJ, as a self-taught guitarist, he owned three guitars including acoustic, electric, and bass, a great singer and songwriter. Music kept him sane and it became his therapy during his battle of illness of pancreatic cancer. Francis was one hard worker, easy-going, simple, funny man, who wanted nothing but peace and happiness around him.
Francis was survived by his wife and daughter, Maria “Dee” and Aleina Rain Lagundi, by his parents Ur and Susan Buyser, Antonio and Bona Del Rosario, by his sisters and brother, Samantha and Vanessa Buyser, Connie, Eloisa and Julius Del Rosario, by his nephew and niece, Joaquin and Quincee Vinluan, by his cousin-in-law, Anna Fe Larin, and by his many relatives and friends.
