Obituary of Christopher James Facca

FACCA, CHRISTOPHER JAMES It is with profound grief that we announce the passing of our beloved daddy, husband, son, brother and uncle on March 2, 2017 at the age of 39 after a short but heroic battle with cancer. Born in Milden, SK Chris attended Dinsmore Composite School where he not only excelled academically, but also in all sports. Chris attended the University of Saskatchewan in the College of Kinesiology and then in the College of Physical Therapy graduating with degrees from both colleges. Chris loved being a physical therapist showing strong leadership, professionalism and mentorship throughout his career. In addition, Chris volunteered endless time and energy with various sports teams, as trainer, athletic therapist and physical therapist. The U of S Huskie Men’s Hockey, the Saskatoon Hilltops, and Kinsmen Football were just a few of the organizations that benefited from Chris’ talent. Chris was an avid golfer with a special love for baseball and hockey. Sharing a passion of nature and the outdoors with his beloved daughters and wife was where Chris was truly happy. He enjoyed camping, lake life, sporting activities and travelling with his family. Chris will be remembered for his confidence, dedication and his sheer determination. Chris’ never wavering spirit, quick wit, and humour right up until his final days were beyond admirable. Chris will be forever missed, always remembered and never forgotten. Left to cherish Chris’ memory are his wife Jacquelyn, his precious daughters Mattea and Milece, loving parents Gary and Linda, brothers Geoff (Jocelyn, Maria, Lane), Michael (Shelley), and Matthew, grandmothers Elma and Marguerite; parents-in-law, Gary and Marge, brother-in-law, Robert (Christa, Noah, Naomi); as well as a large circle of aunts, uncles and cousins. Chris was predeceased by his beautiful sister Lindsay and grandfathers Ferry Facca and James Hay. The Facca family would like to extend a special thank you to the Doctors and staff at RUH for their care and compassion.
