ENGEL, Merrick - It is with broken hearts that the family of Merrick Hart Engel announce his passing on Tuesday, November 17, 2020. After a long and difficult battle, he succumbed to his PSP diagnosis.
Merrick was surrounded by so much love as he travelled this painful road with bravery and pride.
Dad will be remembered for an open heart and an open home, a man who never turned anyone away, welcoming one and all without judgement.
Merrick was a most devoted father who showed his daughters the world, encouraged all the possibilities and showered them with love and attention...here in Canada and abroad.
He will be adoringly missed by daughters Amoryn (Kevin) and Charis (Joel) and the lights of his life, his grandchildren William, Harrison, Cooper and Findley.
Merrick is survived by his siblings Corinne Engel, and Jeffrey Engel (Lynda), niece Alysa-Beth Engel (Mitch Faigan) and nephew Joshua Skye Engel (Dori).
A huge debt of gratitude to his loving caregivers, Anamy Roblas, Lea Farinas, Leizyl de la Puerta, Rocel Calero, Regina Fernandez and Grace Bandada who showered him with love, affection and unmatched care and of course Dr. Samir Sinha of Mount Sinai Hospital and Dr. David Tang-Wai of Toronto Western Hospital who captained the ship with extraordinary compassion.
Goodbye Daddy.....we hope to meet again someplace under the sea.
