elevated EwQMC Obituary
elevated EwQMC It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, Carmelo Verdirame, on August 4, 2025, at the age of 77. Born in Scicli, Ragusa, he later moved to Canada, where he built a life and married the love of his life, Maria, with whom he will now be re-united with. Together, they created a strong and loving family. Carmelo was a devoted husband and father, leaving behind his daughters, Priscilla (Vincenzo), Monique (Antonio), and Jessica (Antonio), as well as his cherished grandchildren; Alessia, Sebastian, Celina, Matthew, Manuel, and Mia.
elevated EwQMC A man of deep faith, and hard work, Carmelo’s passing has created a significant void in the hearts of everyone who knew him, especially his siblings, nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends, both near and far.

We invite you to remember him for the profound impact he had on the lives of all who were fortunate enough to know him.
