SMYTH, Brendan - Passed away on Sunday, February 2, 2020.
He was an exceptional photographer, an experienced world traveller, a talented musician, an organizational and technical guru, a proficient skateboarder and snowboarder, a confidant, mentor, friend, husband, brother, and son.
One of his Instagram personas, @WhereMyFeetHaveTakenMe, shared a fraction of his creative output but was also a great example of how he lived his life -- eagerly seeking out adventures around the world. Indeed, Brendan’s feet took him to many incredible places.
Sometimes, however, feet take you places you never intended to go.
In 2017 Brendan developed a rare form of cancer (solitary fibrous tumour). Complications during the surgery to remove the tumour resulted in Brendan almost losing his leg. Yet, months of demanding physical therapy and rehabilitation finally allowed him to walk again and to return to work.
Unfortunately, the cancer reappeared. In spite of the situation, Brendan made every day count and continued to make time for his friends and family.
He has had a permanent impact on so many people and we are left behind as he embarks on his final adventure.
Visitation will b e held at Cardinal Funeral Home, Bathurst Chapel, Toronto on February 05, 2020 from 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM. The service will take place in the chapel at 4:00 PM.
If desired, memorial donations to the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre - The Palliative Pacer Fund would be appreciated by the family.
