It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Husband, Dad and Papa, Juan Antonio Úbeda. Tony passed away peacefully in the arms of his wife and daughter on the evening of November 6th, 2020 in Victoria, B.C. He was 78 years old.
Tony was born in Madrid, Spain on March 27th, 1942 and is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Catherine Úbeda (Cathy) and his daughter Pamela Úbeda. He is adoringly remembered by his two young grandchildren Noah and Olive, his son-in-law Johan Bosman and his family in Spain.
Always up for an adventure, Tony emigrated from Spain to Toronto, Canada in 1966. In 1970 he met his future wife Cathy, who had just immigrated from Scotland, “up the dancing” at the 21 Club. It was love at first sight and they were married 9 months later. Shortly after, Tony decided it was time for another adventure and took a job at Mullins Marine as a motorcycle mechanic in Victoria BC and moved himself and his new wife out West. It was there they built their first house and had their daughter, Pamela.
Shortly after Pamela was born, adventure called again and they moved down to Simi Valley, California to enjoy the sun. In 1980 they decided it was time to go back to Victoria. They built a couple more houses over the years but their home in Gordon Head is where they finally found home and where they settled for the last 30 years. They also loved to travel together and over the years took several trips back to their beloved homelands of Spain and Scotland.
Tony was a kind, sensitive and quiet man with a great sense of humour. He will be remembered with that classic cheeky grin on his face. He was happiest when using his hands, building things, tinkering with his cars and feeding his dogs treats. He adored his little family; spending time with his grandkids, adventuring with his wife, enjoying the food and wine of his homeland and of course, watching his favourite football team Real Madrid beat FC Barcelona.
A private service to honour his life will be held in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, on Saturday, November 14th, 2020 at 2:00 pm. In order to attend please RVSP McCall Gardens as seating is limited. All others are invited to attend virtually via Zoom.
