elevated 8SAca October 24, 1966 ~ May 25, 2020
elevated 8SAca It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Elias Antoine El-Chaar. He passed away at his home, with his children by his side.
elevated 8SAca Elias will forever be remembered as a loving Dad to Alicia and Daniel. He will forever be remembered by his wife Anna El-chaar. He will forever be remembered in the hearts of his siblings; Samira (Tony) Carriere, Samir (Claude) Chaar, Zena (Joseph) Francis, Najla (Salim) Sleimane and his loving nieces and nephews.
elevated 8SAca Our dad was born in Lebanon, on October 24th, 1966. He grew up with five siblings. He has left behind fifteen beautiful nieces and nephews that he adored and praised like they were his own. He was raised in Lebanon and was drafted into the Lebanese Special Forces Commando Army in the early 80’s. He spent most of his life in the autobody and auto glass business which led to his passion for cars and motorcycles. From a young age our dad was always working hard to help his entire family. He had a powerful willingness to always help friends and family wherever he could.
elevated 8SAca Our dad came to Canada in 1990 to start a better life. His plan was originally to stay in Montreal but ended up in Toronto. He lived with his brothers for a few years then later met our mother, Anna Martelli. By 1995, he got married and 1 year later had Alicia. By 2001, he had Daniel.
elevated 8SAca We will forever remember our dad always wanting to be outdoors, building so many different things. Our dad always was up to something, some sort of project. As we have always said about him, he could never stay still. The cottage became a special place for our dad where he taught us so much of what we know today. We have so many memories of him teaching us how to swim, drive, or even just to have fun. He always wanted us to be with our cousins to enjoy life and always stick together.
elevated 8SAca Our dad also loved to be with friends whether it was hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, going for a boat ride, or simply having long chats and enjoying each other’s company. Our dad loved to sing, dance, party, and drink. He also loved to travel and took us to so many beautiful countries where we will never forget the experiences we shared there. Our dad enjoyed hot sunny weather and always wished he lived on the beach. Our dad always wanted to have a good time. His energy and love of life is what we will miss the most.
elevated 8SAca My brother and I will never forget his teaching of lectures and life lessons. We will never forget his ‘bad’ dad jokes but it is now time that we reflect and realize what he was really trying to teach us. Our dad wanted nothing but the best for us and worked so hard for us to have such an amazing childhood and good life. Our dad always wanted us to help others and be the good neighbor just as he was.
elevated 8SAca Our dad had a tough struggle towards the end of his life in his illness but his recent journey reminded us about one of his best characteristics, his strength. Our dad was a fighter right up until his end. We are so proud of him and all that he went through.Our dad was too good for this world and he will be dearly missed by so many. We will never forget him and we will continue to honor his name.
elevated 8SAca Dearest dad, may you finally rest in peace. It is now our turn to continue to make you proud of us, as you always wanted us too.
elevated 8SAca My brother and I want us all to try and focus on the good memories as we grieve during this difficult time. We have included a link for you all to watch to remember some of the good memories that we were able to gather of our beloved father, as he should be remembered;

نام بامان عند الله يا اخي التوأم
لن ينسى الله كل خير صنعته في حياتك
لقد حصلت على ثلاثة اسرار الكنيسة
سر مسحة المرضى
سر التوبة
وسر الأفخارستية
اولادك بامان
لا قوى للشر عليك بعد اليوم انت ابن ملك الملوك ملك المجد
يسوع المسيح القائم من الموت
الراحة الدائمة اعطه يا رب
ونورك الأزلي فليضء له
الراحة الدائمة اعطه يا رب ونورك الأزلي فليضىء له
اشكرك ابونا على صلاتك ومحبتك

Dear Cousin,
Despite the distances and the long years of physical separation due to our different paths in life, I always kept a cherished memory of you, I remember when I was a child how I used to look up to you, to the loving, caring, young and cool cousin, full of life and energy, extremely funny and adventurous, you were so attached to your motorbike! I still remember your smile, hear your laughter after you throw a joke, your beautiful face is permanently fixed in my memory!
Your early loss wounded my heart and the hearts of your extended family members in Lebanon who love you equally, Khalak and Khaltak are drowned in their sorrow…
I present my deepest and heartfelt condolences to your brothers, sisters and your children whom I am eager to meet to see your smile through their smiles, to hear your laughter in theirs and watch your lovely face in their beautiful faces.
I am confident your Dad, your mother (Amto Nohad), my mother and others late loved ones, embraced you in heaven and showered you with their unconditional love.
You are in a better place Habibi Rest In Peace, until we meet…
All my love!
Your cousin Elie

To Alicia, Daniel, and his loving family, I send you my sincerest condolences.
I can’t help but express how important he was to me and to all of us, he tought us how to be the best part of ourselves, and always respect others before anything else.
As he parts ways with us, it’s not the end of his legacy, but our time to carry on the legacy that he left behind for us.
Let’s us stay strong together in these difficult times, and show him how much we’ve grown because of him. Let’s make him proud as he watches over us from from the heavens.
May he always be engraved in our hearts and souls until the very end.
Rest in peace.

Dear Anna, Alicia, Daniel & family,
On behalf of the Jung family and with a sad heart, I am sending our condolences. Eli was an incredible cottage neighbour and a dear friend of our family. When I think of him, I remember an energetic, charismatic, hard-working, and dependable family man. He always seemed to be on the go and I loved hearing about his latest projects. For such a busy guy, he still made plenty of time for his kids — we know he loved you both more than anything. I hope you all continue to find comfort in your own memories of him as well as the new ones shared with you in the coming days and weeks by the rest of us who cared for him. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.

To the Bereaved Family of Eli
Our sincerest and deepest condolences for your loss. We will never forget the good things and advice that Eli gave us on our cottage like plowing the snow on our drive way in the winter time. And especially the improvement of our garage. He did a great job. He may be gone but his memories will remain in our hearts.
Eli, may you rest in peace and be with God.
Sincerely,
Peter Galapon & Family
Dear Anna, Alicia & Daniel,
Our deepest condolences to all of you and Eli’s extended family.
So many great memories at the cottage with Eli – making ice rinks, swimming at the ’sand bar’ and making the best bonfires. Growing up with Eli at as a neighbour and friend at the cottage was priceless. He taught my family and I so much. He will be missed forever and always.
We will pray for Eli and all of you.
Dear Anna, Alicia and Daniel,
Our deepest condolences. Eli was not only our cottage neighbour but was our wonderful and reliable friend.
We will especially miss having coffee with him in the morning, and drinks at night.
Whether we were hunting, sitting around a bon fire, working on our next project , or having our life chats anywhere… Eli was a true friend to us. We have amazing memories, but the cottage will not be the same without Eli’s humour, hard work and appetite for life.
Sending out love and prayers always.
Dear Anna,
My sincere and deepest sympathies to you and your whole family. May care and love of those around you provide comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead.
Dearest Anna,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. The beautiful tribute posted by Alicia and Daniel shows what an amazing husband and father you had in Eli. It is obvious that he was loved by everyone who knew him and that his impact will live on in with everyone that crossed his path in life.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers,
Pina
