Obituary of Desmond Huggins

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved Desmond Cartelupe Huggins.

His bright light was summoned home on May 26th, after a strong valiant fight with prostate cancer, surrounded by his family. Desmond managed his illness with strength and grace. Throughout his battle, he remained positive and had an infectious attitude.

Desmond was born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago. He worked as a teacher before moving to Canada in 1974, where he raised his four children. He found passion in working with his hands and began his career as a mechanic. He worked hard and tirelessly to provide for his family. He and his wife Gloria enjoyed retirement in Trinidad and Tobago. 

Desmond was an avid music lover, had a passion for cars, and enjoyed spending time liming with friends and family. He was known for his infectious laugh and his kind and compassionate spirit. He selflessly devoted himself to others with his unfailing love, guidance, patience and care. His kindness and generosity will be remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Desmond was predeceased by his:

•           Parents Evans and Hilda

•           Beloved wife Gloria

•           Brother Hardin McLean

•           Sisters Monez Martin and Eunice DeBellotte

He is survived by his:

•           Children – Kevin, Aisha, Otis & Chantel

•           Brother Stanley Huggins

•           Sisters Esther Belle & Sylvia Huggins

•           Grandchildren -  Matthias, Alexa, Tamika, Naomi, Tamia, Keziah, Malachi, Celina & Isaiah 

•           Nieces, nephews & extended family in Canada, Trinidad & Tobago United States & the world 

A life so lovingly lived will be beautifully remembered. 

To honor Desmond’s wishes, he will be flown home to Trinidad & Tobago. 

We will continue to celebrate his life and legacy before he is laid to rest in eternal peace. 

The family appreciates all of your prayers and kind gestures during this difficult time. 

Desmond inspired us with his strength, his faith, and his grace. He will remain in our hearts and mark our souls forever.
