Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Cesar Manikad Arias, Sr., a beloved father, husband, grandfather, Tito, Kuya, Ninong, cousin, community leader, and a friend, on March 3, 2025, at Trillium Hospital in Mississauga, surrounded by his family. He was born on November 17, 1940 in Lucena City, Philippines.
A retired Financial Controller, he was a dedicated leader in the Filipino community who worked tirelessly to bring people together and foster a sense of unity and purpose. His unwavering commitment to making a difference inspired everyone who knew him.
As a former president of many associations, including, Barangay Pilipino, Rizal Cup Bowling League, Mississauga Pilipino Athletic Association (MPAA), Kalayaan Filipino Cultural Organization (KFCO) and the founding president of Amigos Golf Group, his contributions to the community were immeasurable.
As an avid sports fan, he cheered passionately for his favorite teams—the Toronto Blue Jays, Toronto Raptors, and his beloved Toronto Maple Leafs. He enjoyed playing golf, tennis, bowling, softball, and swimming. His enthusiasm for sports was infectious and he brought joy to every game he played or watched.
Family was at the heart of everything Cesar, Sr. did. His home was the hub of many celebrations for family and friends, ensuring everyone felt welcomed and supported. Christmas gatherings at his home were legendary; filled with love, laughter, and known for cooking everyone’s favourite dishes, like pancit canton, kare-kare and beef mechado.
Cesar, Sr. is survived by his loving wife Estelita, his daughter Anne Marie, son-in-law RJ, son Cesar, Jr., daughter-in-law Ayanna, grandson Zac, sisters Minda and Digna and many nieces, nephews and godchildren. He is preceded in death by his sister Gloria. He was a cherished and caring presence to his sisters-in-law, Ellie and Rorie. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
A funeral service will be held on Thursday, March 13 at Assumption Catholic Funeral Home 6933 Tomken Road, Mississauga, Ontario L5T1N4 at 11am to celebrate and honour Cesar Sr.’s life. PLEASE NOTE: NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR BEVERAGES WILL BE PERMITTED.
