Stephen “Denis” Ferreira Obituary
Stephen Denis Ferreira was born on April 10, 1932 in Trinidad and Tobago. He was known fondly by his friends in Guyana as “Burp the Twerp, the Super Duper So-and-So,” he had a love for sailing and was an exceptional runner.
In 1964, he and his wife, Claire, moved to Toronto, where he built a career as an insurance agent with Manulife—a perfect fit for him, as he loved talking wit people. He had a knack for connecting with others, always ready with a joke to brighten someone’s day. Thirty years ago, they retired to Picton, Ontario, to be closer to family.
A generous and hospitable man, he and Claire loved to welcome friends and family into their home, sharing meals, laughter, and memories. Their house was always filled with music, and they especially enjoyed dancing together.
Denis was a devoted husband, married to his beautiful wife Claire for nearly 67 years. He loved her to the end, and she misses him dearly.
He was also a proud father to six children: Tamara (Paul) Elliott, Yolande (Scott) Wentworth, Brian Ferreira, Richard (Beth) Ferreira, Peter (Brenda) Ferreira, and Mary (Chris) Smith. His legacy lives on through his 16 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren, whom he loved to embarrass—often by barking at them, (especially in front of their friends). They even wrote a song about it.
Denis was a man of faith who firmly believed in the resurrection of Christ. He looked forward to the promise of being raised again in the Kingdom of God which is to be established on this earth.
He spent the last 15 months of his life at West Lake Terrace, where he was well cared for.
Denis died on Monday, February 3, 2025, at the age of 92. A Celebration of His Life will be held in the spring. Rest in peace, Dad. We love you.
