In loving memory of Dib Aziz Chaccour, who passed away on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at the Ottawa Civic Hospital, just before his 80th birthday. He was a devoted husband to Rosana, a father, grandfather, and brother who touched the lives of all who knew him.
Dib was born in a small village in Mount Lebanon, Lebanon. He carried a deep connection to his homeland and never gave up on it despite years of war and hardship. After moving to Canada, he brought with him his love for family, community, and gardening. He especially enjoyed planting and collecting heirloom seeds, a tradition he leaves to his children to continue.
Dib was the proud father of four children: Pascale, Rony, Jessy, and Elias. His legacy lives on through his seven grandchildren, who live across the world: Mary-Jo and Roland (children of Pascale, Canada), Chloé, Lexy, and Abigail (children of Rony, Australia), and Joya and Joe (children of Jessy, Lebanon). Dib had immense love for his grandchildren and was very proud of their personal and academic achievements.
He was also a cherished brother to his sisters and brothers in Lebanon. They will remember him for his lively spirit, his generosity without limits, and his dedication to preserving family traditions.
Dib will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
He will be laid to rest at Beechwood Cemetery on Wednesday March 25, 2026 at 1:00 pm.
