PERETIN, Fabian Steve, May 21st, 1972 – July 3rd, 2023 With broken hearts and profound sadness, we announce the sudden passing of our deeply loved son, brother, father, and grandfather Fabian at the age of 51. Born and raised in Hamilton, Fabian was the most loved and cherished son of Fabian Sr. and the late Nina Thompson. Father to Kaitlyn Marriage and Jayden Peretin, whom he deeply loved, brother to Kathy (Kelly) Fleck, Carol Jurcich, Liana (Wally) London, grandfather to Devin, Dax, and Dayne and uncle to many nieces and nephews. Fabian was a kind and gentle soul who had the biggest heart and an even bigger smile. In his younger and more happier days, Fabian was full of adventure, laughter and joy. He loved the outdoors, and spending time with family and friends. He befriended everyone with a welcoming heart and outgoing personality. He was well liked by everyone and was truly one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. He was caring and sensitive and would do anything for you. Those who knew him felt his kindness and generosity. Fabian took pride in his educational successes and artistic skills. He became a knowledgeable skilled mechanic by trade, and never hesitated to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. His passion for drawing shined bright in his many artistic creations. He found love and married his sweetheart Sandra Carranza on Valentine’s Day. He was a romantic at heart. He deeply loved and was loved. Heartbreakingly, Fabian also suffered from lifetime struggle with addiction, which he fought so desperately to try to overcome. But the heavy burdens, guilt, and shame he carried deep within his heart, and the immense grief he felt took its toll. Fabian lost his battle surrounded by friends. Fabian’s belief and refuge he found in the Lord will carry him home to light and love for all eternity, where he will finally be free and find peace. He will be forever remembered, loved, and missed for the man that he was and he goodness he carried deep within. Visitation will be held on Thursday July 13th, 2023, from 5 – 9 pm at Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main St Dundas. Funeral Mass will be held at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, 50 Brucedale Ave. E Hamilton on Friday July 14th, 2023, at 1:30 pm. Interment to follow at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery, 254 Garner Rd W. For those who wish donations in Fabian’s memory can be made to your local Food Bank or Mission Services.
Born February 10th, 1951 in Fort Meade, Maryland to an army family, Karen lived throughout the United States and in Turkey into her high school years. She completed high school in the U.S., and went on to obtain a B.A. at the University of Massachusetts. Then she was off to Newfoundland for her M.A. at Memorial University, culminating in a PH.D. in Anthropology from McMaster University. Soon after arriving at Mac she met John (Meneok) who became her husband of 44 years, 8 months and 22 days when, sadly, she left us. Karen enjoyed many hobbies, including but not limited to singing in the Canadian Martyrs Church choir, and photographing nature or “objects of unusual size”. Karen, always the cultural anthropologist, enjoyed a varied career finishing as the Senior Ethics Officer at McMaster. Karen was a devout Catholic and she had a long history with Canadian Martyrs Church, where her funeral mass will be held Tuesday, July 11th at 11 am. Viewings will be held from 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm on the 10th at the Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main St., Dundas. She leaves behind her husband John, son Luke, sister Andrea, and a plethora of nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and friends. In celebration of Karen’s life, perform an act of random kindness, or give your family an extra long hug (whether they want it or not). A light has gone out of the world and it falls to us left behind to try to make up the loss.
