Giuseppe D’Agostino
Giuseppe D’Agostino
(November 2, 1946 – April 13, 2021)
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Giuseppe D’Agostino after losing his short-lived battle with cancer.
Giuseppe passed away peacefully at home alongside his family on April 13, 2021. He is survived by his loving wife, Lidia and is a cherished father to Teresa (Sergio), Giuliano (Maria) and Marco (Kayla). He is a proud and loving nonno to Arianna, Davide, Giuseppe Jr. (Joseph), Sophia, Caleb and Nathan. He was the youngest of 6 children.
Giuseppe was born on November 2, 1946, in Viticuso, Provincia di Frosinone, Italy. He first heard about Jehovah in Switzerland and studied with a bible student for a few months. Shortly after he had to return to Italy, but the seed of truth was planted in his heart. He met Lidia, and 3 months later they were married on April 30, 1970. They immigrated to Canada where he worked diligently to provide for his growing family. When in Canada he began to study the Bible once again, and immediately fell in love with what he had learned and was baptized as a Jehovah’s Witness on May 14, 1974. Giuseppe’s life always reflected his deep love for Jehovah and others. He did his best serving Jehovah in the congregation, and took every opportunity to share the Bible’s hope for the future with anyone.
Giuseppe had a passion for his garden, but was especially known for the love he had for his family. He enjoyed the company of his family and friends, and always opened his home to everyone with a smile. He always told his children and grandchildren to serve Jehovah, no matter what. He did not merely use words, but by his example he demonstrated his love for Jehovah to the very end.
Giuseppe touched many lives and he is deeply loved, respected and cherished by his family and friends.
“I will praise Jehovah all my life. I will sing praises to my God as long as I live.” -Psalm 146:2

“Because he has affection for me, I will rescue him.
I will protect him because he knows my name… He will call on me, and I will answer him…”- Psalm 91: 14,15

While words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one, we look forward to the time when words will fail to capture the joy of having our heavenly Father return Giuseppe to you.
We hope that knowing we are praying for your family offers some comfort.
Warm Christian Love,
Charles and Jennifer Bonadonna

We don’t know from one moment to the next what can happen in this old world, but regardless of where life takes us, we have the solid hope knowing that we will be reunited in a beautiful paradise, where ‘Jehovah will call, and he will answer.’ (Job 14:15)

Dear Lidia, Teresa, Guiliano, Maria, Sergio and Family, Marco and Family.
I am so sorry to hear to the loss of your dear one Joe. You have my heartfelt condolences.
I do not know exactly how you feel, but I do know Jehovah knows exactly how you feel. He Is waiting to comfort and console you
in this sad time,
I remember Joe as kind, funny and loved his gardening. He loved his grandchildren and he had a great zeal for the Ministry, despite the challenges he faced, he was faithful right down to the end
. Our brother will be greatly missed. But soon Jehovah will fulfill his promise of the resurrection and you will be able to see your loved one again..
Job 14:15-“You will call, and I will answer you.
You will longa for the work of your hands.”
Isaiah 41: 10-“Do not be afraid, for I am with you.m
Do not be anxious, for I am your God.
I will fortify you, yes, I will help you,
I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness”’
Dear D’Agostino Family: Our family conveys our deepest sympathies to all of you (1 Pet 5:9). Knowing him was an honour, seeing his zealous example in serving Jehovah. It will be wonderful when we can greet our loved ones again. Until that time, may Jehovah be with you, giving strength and comfort during these last days.
Nostra cara Lidia, D’Agostino family & Nigro family,
We know that there are no words to ease your sorrow. Only Jehovah’s promise that we will see our dear loved ones again can help us all to cope with the horrible pain of death in this system. We will miss him but we will also remember all the beautiful memories we shared together especially at my parent’s house in the “good old days” having him as our book study conductor when we were all in the Lido congregation! Even though we don’t see each other as often anymore, please know we love you!
All our love,
John, Rosie, Joshua and Michael

Dear Lidia and Family
We are very saddened to hear that Joe ha passed away. We have very fond memories of studying the Bible together and sharing meals together, which we will always treasure. Good memories never die, only to be added to, very soon, according to the beautiful promise that our Creator and Father has made (Job 14: 14, 15)
May all you draw comfort from the good memories and the beautiful promise we have to be reunited very soon with our loved ones in a righteous new world
Our deepest condolences to the family for your loss. We will miss our dear brother and always remember his kind smile and his love for Jehovah and the brotherhood. We will always think of him as a pillar in the congregation and look forward to seeing him again in a perfect world. Until then we pray that Jehovah keep you all in his care and keeping.
With all our love,
Mark and Angie Andricciola
My dearest Lidia, le mie più sincere condoglianze per la tua grande perdita. La tua perdita è anche la nostra perdita. Ci mancherà Joe. amiamo te e la tua famiglia.
My dearest D’Agostino & Nigro family,
Words are not enough to express the sadness I felt for our beloved Joe. I have not known him for long but the short time I get to know him and Lidia, I felt I know them for so long. His love for Jehovah is so amazing and working side by side with him in service via zoom practically everyday, despite being sick makes it much more hard to think. . Our service would never be the same without Joe.
But think for a moment, the promise of God fulfilling his promise of a resurrection will be so impressive that the difficulties and sadness we are experiencing right now will pale into insignificance. In the coming paradise the blessing from Jehovah will far surpass our imagination.
May Jehovah give you the strength that you need. We will always be here for your family and continue to support all of you.
This is Joe’s picture during one of our zoom service. This is taken three months before his death, still happy to serve Jehovah.
We love you D’Agostino and Nigro family.

I will always remember the smiles and laughs with uncle Joe, Nonna always talked so fondly of him and always looked up to her younger brother. He’ll be missed but never forgotten.
Our deepest condolences go out to Lidia, Teresa, Sergio, Giuliano, Maria, Marco, Kayla, Arianna, Davide, Joseph, Sophia, Caleb, Nathan and extended families.
We are so saddened by the loss of our dear brother Giuseppe. Giuseppe was such a kind, loving and spiritual man. His smile and genuine care for others will never be forgotten. We have fond memories of him, especially after he conducted the book study in my parents home, afterwards the family would sometimes stay a little longer for some fun association.
After my father passed, Giuseppe, despite what he was facing would always take the time to check in on my mom and encourage her, Giuseppe always put others before his own needs.
May Jehovah comfort and strengthen you, as we await the day to see him again, along with the many others we have lost.

Lots of love, Vito, Debbie, Miranna and Matteo Marolda and Anna Aristodemo
