From his youth right through to recent years, Xavier has been the picture of passion and spirit. His journey through life was filled with great adventure and colourful stories – and his bubbling energy and sense of humour brought smiles and laughter to everyone in his presence. Throughout it all, he always demonstrated compassion and care for those that were less fortunate; he also showed courage and grace, when faced with significant personal obstacle.
On August 11, 2020, following a sudden and serious illness that took hold, Xavier passed away, peacefully, with the comfort of his family by his side at Mississauga Hospital. He was 74.
Xavier is the son of the late John and Luiza Sequeira, and brother of the late Clement Sequeira, late Jesuinho (Jesse), late baby brother Xavier-Victor. He will be remembered with much love and fondness by his sisters Virgilia (Willie), Annette, brother Justin (Tina), niece Avril, nephews Shaun (Iwona) and Brendan (Camille), and young grandnephew Aaron.
In accordance with current COVID-19 protocols, a semi-private funeral service will take place on Monday August 17 (video broadcast details below). His family gratefully acknowledges all thoughts and prayers in these days of bereavement.
