Good morning. We start off 2026 with sad news. Below is the obituary for a member of the Trevisani.

Livio Michielin
1962 — 2025
BURNABY
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Livio Michielin on December 30, 2025, after a courageous battle with ALS. Born March 26, 1962, to Gino and Joanne Michielin, Livio’s life was defined by resilience, humor, and a profound love for his family and friends.

Livio is lovingly remembered by his wife of 39 years, Manuela, his daughter Brianna, son Tyson, mother Joanne, brother Dino (Billie), and a wide circle of family and friends. He is reunited in peace with his father and parents-in-law.

Known for his trademark sarcastic wit and infectious laughter, Livio brought joy to every gathering. Whether coaching youth soccer, walking the fairways, or cheering for his beloved San Francisco 49ers, Livio’s energy and passion were unmistakable. Even as he faced the challenges of ALS, he never lost his sense of humor or his ability to make others smile. During his illness, he became the “king of game shows,” entertaining family and friends from his favorite recliner.

Livio’s legacy is one of laughter, strength, and kindness. He was a devoted husband, a proud and loving father, and a steadfast friend. In his 28 years within the traffic and safety industry, his work was more than a job; it was a passion shared with the clients he served. His generosity, unwavering support, and positive spirit touched all who knew him. He leaves behind a lasting reminder to always keep smiling, no matter what life brings.

Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Sorrows Church, 555 Slocan Street, Vancouver, BC. Entombment will follow at Ocean View Burial Park, South Mausoleum, Imperial Street, Burnaby, BC.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the ALS Society of BC , 1228-13351 Commerce Pkwy, Richmond.

Livio touched the hearts of all who knew him with his warmth, humor, and loving spirit.

He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.

We have sad news for the Trevisani of Vancouver. A long time member and former President, Tarcisio Boffo died Friday October 31, 2025. Below is the obituary and information on funeral services for him.

Surrounded by love, Tarcisio Boffo, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully and will be deeply missed.

Tarcisio was born in Ca'Rainati di San Zenone degli Ezzelini, Treviso, Italy, on March 10, 1940, to Angela and Fortunato Boffo. He peacefully passed away at the age of 85 on October 31, 2025, returning to his heavenly home.

He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Lina; his children, Flavia (Steve) and Daniel (Michelle); his grandchildren, Joshua (Sable), Nathaniel (Kiyomi), Matisse, Milan, and Noémie; and his great-granddaughter, Rome. He is also survived by his sisters Rita, Elsa, and Rosetta, and his brothers Stefano, Ottavio, and Marcello. He was predeceased by his siblings Mario and Agnese.

At 18, Tarcisio left Italy for Switzerland, and later immigrated to Vancouver at the age of 21. Hardworking and unafraid of challenges, he built a successful life in landscaping and in building, with trust, integrity, and sheer tenacity. Everyone who knew him respected his word and admired his work ethic.

A man of deep Catholic faith and proud Italian heritage, Tarcisio found joy in bringing people together. He helped build culture and community through the Gruppo Folcloristico Trevigiano Veneto and, in 2000, commissioned the Monument to Honour Canada's Immigrants in Il Giardino Italiano at Hastings Park — a tribute to those who, like him, built new lives through hard work and hope. Above all, family was at the heart of Tarcisio's life and his greatest joy.

Tarcisio will be remembered for his warmth, humility, and devotion to family. Quiet and thoughtful, he listened more than he spoke — a man of gentle strength and a generous heart. To all who knew and loved him, his memory lives on.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, November 8 at 1:00 p.m. at Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church, 1450 Delta Avenue, Burnaby. Family and friends may view Tarcisio's Funeral Mass online at Media Sanctuary - YouTube.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to Covenant House Vancouver (covenanthousebc.org) or to the Missionaries of Charity (https://rcav.org/about/religious-communities/women/mc) in memory of Tarcisio.
