Luca Cirillo

Luca,

Thank you for always being so good to me when others weren’t. You were always the nicest kid in New West.

31 is way too young. Good night. Signed- école des pionniers.

Luca. We are completely heartbroken to learn of your sudden passing. Your spirit & legacy will always be remembered and honoured within our family and you will never be forgotten.

I will miss seeing and chatting with you coming back from QP and having a quick laugh.

Our Deepest sympathies to Walter, Sylvia, Stefan & Michael.

Rest In Peace sweet Luca
Love,

Flavio, Kim, Michelina & Domenic.

Luca, you were such a dynamic force in our small school. For years after you moved on we still referenced “The Luca Law”. I no longer remember what loophole we were closing with this “law” but, in your charismatic way, you had convinced us that our rules were inadequate for whatever it was we wanted/needed you to do. What I want your family to know is you weren’t only a delight in the present moment but a treasure that lingers still - a decade and a half later.

My deepest condolences to all who expected many more decades of Luca in the present.

Dear Walter, Sylvia, and family,

Our hearts are with you as you grieve the sudden loss of your beloved Luca. Though words can never truly ease such sorrow, we hope you feel the embrace of love and prayer surrounding you.

Take comfort in knowing that our precious Saviour has welcomed Luca with open arms and that he is now reunited in joy with loved ones who have gone before. May the peace of Christ gently fill your hearts, and may cherished memories of Luca bring light, warmth, and strength in the days ahead.

With all our love and deepest prayers,
Your cousin
Joe and Maria

Dear Luca, a sweet, kind and gentle soul. You were taken from all of us way to soon. You definitely have made such a huge impact in your short life here, just by reading all these tributes I know how loved you were and always will be. Your memory will live on forever.

We love you, rest in eternal peace sweet Luca 🙏

Dear Luca,
Thank you for all that you taught me and being my first love. I will never ever forget you and you will always have a huge special place in my heart. I cherish all of our memories together so deeply and I feel so lucky that I got to grow with you and love you. You were one of a kind Luca, truly.
Forever in my heart ♡

I am so sorry for such incredible loss. I was one of Luca’s teachers years ago. I still remember Luca’s positivity and kindness. Everyday his lighthearted way brought goodness to all of us. Luca was wise beyond his years. My condolences to Luca’s family and friends. ❤️

Dear Luca,

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the news of your passing. It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating together at family gatherings, and your bright smile lit up the room. Your wonderfully curly hair and infectious energy will be deeply missed.

Your love for family and friends was truly inspiring, and it's clear that you touched the hearts of everyone around you.

Though we may not have seen each other often, your presence was always felt. Your kind heart and generous spirit made a lasting impact on those who knew you.

Rest in peace, dear Luca. Your memory will live on in our hearts, and we'll continue to celebrate your life and the love you shared with us. You may be gone, but your smile, laughter, and love will never be forgotten.

With love and deepest condolences,
Alberto and Adriana

Dear Luca, words can't express the pain and sorrow in our hearts after your sudden passing. I was so honored and proud when you asked me to be your confirmation sponsor. You were really a great young man with a generous heart. Your constant smile and charm were something you carried ever since you were a very young boy.
Some things, amongst many that I always remember were when you were around 1 1/2 years old, your dad and I brought you with us to BC Place for the Ski and Outdoors show. You couldn't walk in that crowd so much, so you had to be carried a lot. Your round face, beautiful smile, curious eyes and big curly hair were so inviting to all the ladies in the building that they just had to come over to chat and see the adorable young boy. I took a few turns and carried you around on my shoulders for half the day just because even then you could draw the ladies.
Another was the long heart to heart talk we had outside at the Roma Hall parking lot when Flavio and Kim were married. You were 17 at the time, after a few, or more than a few drinks we shared some personnel things in our lives we were going through, maybe the booze or the confidence in confiding with each other? We cried a bit and then broke out into uncontrollable laughter....only we know.
I also remember how proud you were when you purchased your Yellow Audi A4 and had the sound system installed. Seeing you cruising around, low and slouched down in your seat and listening to your tunes and enjoying life was a real treat. On many occasions I've stopped by the house to hang with your dad outside the Monster Garage and you would always pop out to say hi, maybe have a few laughs and share some stories or just hang out to see what we were up too.

Luca, I will always see you there, hanging out by the steps at the garage while your dad and I sip on our double doubles while you knock down a smoke or two. You'll always be present in our hearts and in our minds and we will miss you lot's.

I'm sure you're at peace now and charming everyone in heaven. We love you kid!

Luca was more than my cousin — he was my friend, my food critic partner, and my favorite bad influence.
On my 21st birthday, I told him not to buy me that $45 tequila shot. So of course, he did — and of course, it didn’t stay down. He just laughed and said, “Now you’ve lived.” That was Luca — always pushing the moment, always making it count.
One of my favorite memories was waiting in the rain for tacos with him. We shared an ice cream I said I didn’t want, and got into a full-blown debate about who had the best fried chicken. We teamed up against his dad — and obviously, Chicko Chicken and Down Low were the winners. I wish I had my car that day — I would’ve taken him straight to Downlow Chicken, and I wish more than anything we got to go there together.
Most recently at my engagement party, in the middle of all the chaos, we had this silly, perfect moment while waiting for the bathroom— talking about why guys can pee in the yard and girls can’t. It made no sense, but I’ll remember that conversation forever, because it was so him — light, hilarious, and totally unforgettable.
The memories could go on and on but
Luca, you brought joy into every little moment. I’ll miss you. I love you. And I’ll carry your laugh with me always.

We had some really great times together, man. And shared a whole lot of laughs. From all the sleepovers when we were kids shooting Mikey with slingshots and antique bb guns, to our 3am lobster and crab lunch breaks while working nightshift clean-up at Albion together, to all the afternoons at nonna's house thinking up all the ways we could piss off Jesse. I'll miss that laugh and that lightning fast wit of yours, brother.
Rest easy, Luca. We'll miss you down here, and I hope the fish are biting today.
Your cuz,
Alberto

So sorry Walt & Sylvia & family, that's a hard pill to swallow you are all in my thoughts.

Our hearts are broken by the sudden and untimely passing of your beloved son and brother.
We will always remember him as a kind , gentle boy who always had a smile on his face.
Your love and your memories will sustain you through this troubling time
And always remember he will always live in your hearts.
May you also find comfort in knowing that your family and friends share your grief. The Turco family

I will miss debating with you Luca.
You made me laugh when I often needed it the most.

Being your teacher/ advocate/ friend has been an honour.

My dear cousin Luca,
It’s hard to put into words the sadness of losing you far too soon. You were such a beautiful soul, with a smile that could light up any room and an infectious laugh that lifted everyone around you. A member of the Cirillo tribe is gone far too early, and our family feels the weight of that loss deeply. You will always be remembered with love, and your spirit will live on in our hearts forever.

Luca…
It’s still hard to believe you have been taken from us so soon in your young life. We were together fishing less than a month before you were taken from us. You and I had a nice chat on the front porch of the cabin while the others were out in the lake. You were excited about new things in your life. Your Auntie Jen and I always remember your quiet big smile and gentle heart. We are going to miss you so much. May God grant you eternal rest sweet Luca
Aunt Jen and Zio Fred.

Dear Cirillo family,
We are so deeply saddened with the sudden and premature passing of beloved Luca.
He will be in your hearts and memories forever.

Luca,

I can’t believe you’re gone. Your contagious laugh and smile will always be remembered. Remembering back to our times as kids at Apex Mountain, using walkie talkies to communicate on the way up and our crazy boat tubing in Penticton. Our Sunday lunches at nonnas, cha cha cha parties and all the Christmas eves, nothing will be the same without you. Miss you, and forever in our hearts❤️
- your cousin Care

Luca you will be deeply missed and always remembered. I’ve been replaying in my mind our night skis on the Grouse Mtn riding the chairlift sharing stories and talking about the most random things… I can still hear your contagious laugh….Something so simple but will be always be cherished.
Forever in our hearts and minds.
Your couz Anita.

Luca, there isn’t a single day that passes that you aren’t in our hearts and our minds. You loved being surrounded by family - especially our big, loud Italian gatherings filled with love, laughter, and food. We’ll never forget the special bond you shared with Nonna Valeria and Nonno Alberto, who loved you with all their hearts.

As your Godparents, we had the joy and honour of standing with you in the same church where we will now gather to say our final goodbye. It is a heartbreaking circle we never could’ve imagined.

We will miss your laughter your presence and beautiful soul every single day.
Rest peacefully, dear Luca, you will always be our godson, our nephew and forever in our hearts.

Zio Frank and Zia Maria Teresa

Looking back at this photo of all of us cousins, I’m reminded of the good times we shared growing up. From Christmas dinners, to random Sunday lunches at Nonna’s, and summer Cha Cha Cha parties. Luca, you are and always will be such a special part of our family. We will all miss you dearly and cherish the memories we have of you. xo Nat

Dear Cirillo Family,

I am deeply saddened hearing about Luca's passing.

Me and Luca were great friends throughout high-school and continuing in the years after graduation.

It sucks that life has been busy and we couldn't connect in recent years.

Luca was always a very loving, kind and amazing person.
Every time when we would be he would always be sure to ask how the family is doing and hoping everyone was healthy and happy!

Ill always remember our times together whether it would be in moody park or queens park causing a ruckus! I will always have these great memories.

To the family I wish to extend my deepest condolences.

If ever Stefan or Mikey or anyone in the family need to chat I'm always available.

Rest easy Luca, gone far too soon but never forgotten.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Tibi Voinea.

My deepest condolences to all the family. Luca could always put a smile on my face.

Luca you've been through a lot and still showed up everyday enjoying each day and taking it one step at a time. Stefan would tell me stories about how all 3 of you brothers grew up goofing around with you as their Ring Leader. It brings a smile to my face seeing how much your brothers cherish those memories with you. I just know you all had so much fun and you were the best big brother they could ask for. I know your spirit lives on through them and the memories that are exclusively shared between you all. You are so missed Luca. Rest easy.

Luca, you left this world far too soon, and the weight of your absence is heavy on my heart. Remembering you as a little guy always brings a smile to my face. I had never seen such a beautiful boy. Your curly hair and your perfect little face would light up a room and so many hearts.
I’ll carry your memory with me always. Rest peacefully, sweet cousin, you will always be loved, and forever missed. ❤️

Not a day goes by that we don't miss you in our lives.

The weekends spent fishing and hunting will be forever be cherished memories.

Zio Lorenzo and Zia Sue

I always followed you around trying to keep up. You weren’t just my brother you were my best friend. We learned so much together and those memories will stay with me for life

Dear Cirillo family,

I was deeply saddened to hear about Luca’s passing. Even though we had not seen each other in recent years, I will always treasure the warmth, kindness, and laughter we shared.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time, and I wish you strength and comfort in the days ahead.

With deepest sympathy,
Markus Dietsche
