Cesar S. Abogado, 89, passed away peacefully on May 27, 2025, at North York General Hospital, surrounded by his beloved family. Born in Borongan, Philippines, Cesar was the cornerstone of our family—a man whose unconditional love, strength, and quiet wisdom guided us through life. Cesar earned his law degree from Ateneo de Manila University. He practiced law for ten years before immigrating to Canada in 1973, where he built a beautiful life in Brampton with his wife Bernie and children. After moving to Canada, Cesar continued to serve his community as a real estate agent—a role he embraced with the same honesty, professionalism, and integrity that defined every aspect of his life. Cesar will be remembered for the unwavering love he had for his family, his strength, wisdom, principled nature, faith and devotion to God. His great sense of humour, positive outlook, warmth, and ability to find joy in the simple moments brought happiness to those around him and filled our lives with joy.
