Trevor E Viirre Obituary
It is with great sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Trevor Elliott Viirre at St. Joseph’s Health Centre on Monday, September 28, 2026, at the age of 47, following a short illness.
Trevor was a man who could never be overlooked. Endowed with a big personality, quick wit, and natural charisma, his genuine warmth and big heart made everyone feel welcomed, valued, and supported. He was always ready to lend a helping hand and brought laughter and light wherever he went.
Loving son of Sue (née Godin), partner Bob Bielek. Dear brother of Russell (Emily) and Sonja Taylor. Proud uncle to Kaija and Wynn Taylor, and Azeline and Henrietta Viirre. He was predeceased by his beloved father, Ron (2010). He will be deeply missed by his surviving aunts and uncles; Norman Viirre, Margaret Pizzale, Roger Godin, and Michelle Godin as well as his numerous cousins and a remarkable circle of lifelong friends who were like family to him.
Trevor was the valedictorian of the Timmins High and Vocational School class of 1998, before earning a BSc in Chemistry from the University of Western Ontario in 2002. He subsequently completed culinary training at the Stratford Chefs School in 2004 and embarked on a career as a chef and bartender at some of the finest establishments in London, Timmins, and Toronto.
Trevor lived life with heart, humour, and an unmistakable spark. Though his absence will be deeply felt, his legacy lives on in the laughter, kindness, and memories he shared with all who had the privilege of knowing him.
In lieu of flowers, remembrance donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or Cystic Fibrosis Canada would be greatly appreciated.
A Toronto Celebration of Trevor’s Life will be held on Thursday, October 8, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (Words of Remembrance at 7:00) at Lost Craft Stockyards, 837 Runnymede Road, Toronto.
A Timmins Celebration of Life will be held at the Miron-Wilson Funeral Home at a later date.
