Obituary of Reda El-Sawy
The family of Reda El-Sawy is saddened to announce his passing on August 22, 2025, at the age of 84. He is survived by his wife Mona (née Habib), his children Bassel and Deena (Nick Varzeliotis), his grandchildren Zain and Faris, as well as extended family in Egypt.
Reda was born in Egypt in 1940. He left his homeland to pursue a career in medicine, first in the UK and later in Canada, where he ultimately made Ottawa his home. There, he settled with his family, built a rich life for them, and made lifelong friends, retiring from the practice of medicine after 50 full years.
Reda poured his heart into his passions – his family, his work, and his garden — all of which he approached with dedication, pride, and joy. His restless energy also carried him into many other interests: he immersed himself in medical and gardening journals, enjoyed hosting and attending social gatherings with friends, including monthly backgammon sessions for many years, delighted in listening to Umm Kalthom, and loved to travel and cook food from all over the world. He also threw himself into physical activity. In his youth he captained his water polo team, and later in life, he took up tennis, cycling, cross-country skiing, and even learned to downhill ski well into middle age.
Reda was strict and serious, but at the same time had a playful sense of humor and a hearty laugh. He had strong opinions about almost everything, but became increasingly open-minded as he aged, shaped by a full life of joys and hardships alike. Reda was warm, generous and affectionate and always had room in his heart for new friends. His gift of life and love — the donation of his kidney — will live on in his cherished son Bassel.
In his final year, Reda lived at Governor’s Walk Retirement Residence, where he received compassionate and dignified care. His family is sincerely grateful to the staff for their kindness and support.
