Obituary for Brad Richard Sudeyko
Brad Sudeyko died on Monday, November 4 in Newmarket, Ontario, with his wife, Tavia Ormsby, by his side.
Born August 15, 1978, he was raised and spent his life in and around Newmarket, where his parents still live.
After attending Sacred Heart Catholic High School he studied archeology and anthropology at Trent University.
Brad became smitten with Tavia 16 years ago while working construction in Barrie and she was working at the nearby Tim Hortons. Inseparable from then on, they married 6 years later and made a home in Holland Landing.
From working on site Brad was promoted to project management. He loved his work and working at Cambria Design Build.
Brad would have celebrated his 4 year sobriety birthday in January. He spent this time engaged with treatment, community and meetings, and helping others who needed it. It remained a priority for him to attend meetings until his health condition made it impossible to do so.
Anyone else fighting stage 4 colon cancer might have learned modesty, but through months of home care and then in hospice he never felt the need to shield his hairy chest from us, forever to be known as the king of the open bathrobe.
Interests and insights were drawn from history, philosophy and engineering. Brad loved movies, growing herbs and scotch bonnet peppers, and, above all, he loved sharing laughter with the many people there for him throughout his life.
Brad was a giving son to Sam Sudeyko and Mary Sudeyko (nee Harker), thoughtful son-in-law to Beverly Taylor (Norris Dystant) and Donald Ormsby (Barbara Ormsby) and a warrior big brother to Teresa Sudeyko (Amy Nugent) and Donnae Dystant and a darling uncle to Ruth Nugent.
Visitation will be held at Roadhouse and Rose Funeral Home on Friday, November 8 from 2-4 and 7-9 and the funeral will be Saturday at 11, with a reception to follow. 157 Main Street, Newmarket. www.roadhouseandrose.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to the Brad Sudeyko Memorial Award at Georgian College of Applied Arts and Technology:
