Elvis Espinoza

February 19, 2025

With deep sorrow and profound love, we announce the passing of Elvis Espinoza, who left this world peacefully at University Hospital on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, at the age of 65, surrounded by the family he cherished and the love he spent his lifetime nurturing. A devoted husband, a loving father, an adoring grandfather, a cherished brother, and a true friend to all who knew him, Elvis lived a life filled with love, laughter, and faith.

Born in Chinandega, Nicaragua, Elvis carried his Nicaraguan pride with him wherever he went. Although Elvis’ roots were deeply tied to his beloved homeland, his greatest act of love was leaving Nicaragua 36 years ago to build a better future for his family in Canada, a testament to his unwavering love for his family. For 44 beautiful years, he was the beloved husband of Mercedes Espinoza, a love story marked by devotion and the small, thoughtful gestures that made their bond so special. He was the proud and loving father of Elvis Antonio Espinoza, Martha Xilonem Espinoza-Carter (Michael), and Stephanie Gabriela Espinoza (Bronson), a guiding light in their lives, always ready with wisdom, humour, and a helping hand. As an adoring and doting grandpa (abuelo) to Jordan, Yasmin, Natalia, Mila, Maya, and Léo, he embraced them with the same endless playfulness and warmth that made everyone around him feel loved. Elvis was a cherished brother to Rosadelia, Indiana, Antonio, Walterio, and Gregoria. He is now reunited with his late parents, Antonio and Clotilde Espinoza, and brothers, Santiago and Francisco, in eternal peace.

Elvis’ Catholic faith was the foundation of his life. A proud and active member of his Parish, for over three decades he served as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion and as a lector, living his beliefs with a powerful strength. He walked through life with a deep sense of gratitude and joy, embracing each day with a spirit of service, whether that meant lending a hand to a neighbour or spending hours on the phone with his siblings, making sure they felt his love no matter the distance.

A lifelong diligent professional, Elvis dedicated himself to a career in accounting, spending the last 25 years at Davis Martindale while eagerly anticipating a well-earned retirement. Despite his busy work life, he always made time for what mattered most: his family. He was sure to dedicate time every weekend to family gatherings, filling their homes with the joy of family dinners, laughter, and music—because Elvis loved music.

Elvis was a man who lit up every room he entered. His smile—one of a kind—could brighten anyone’s day. His sense of humour was magnetic, and he took great joy in making others laugh with his playful personality. A true gentleman, he embodied kindness, generosity, and an ever-present willingness to help.

To know Elvis was to love him. A man of boundless energy and charm, he had a love for music, dancing, and singing that was infectious—if there was music playing, Elvis was moving. No gathering was complete without him leading the way, making sure laughter and joy filled the air. Whether it was a party filled with friends or a simple moment in the living room, he would find a way to turn it into a celebration. His fun-loving spirit truly made him a magnet for friendship.

Elvis Espinoza lived a life full of unshakable devotion to his family, his friends, and his community. He had a heart as big as his laugh and a spirit that will live on in the countless memories he created with those he held dear. His quirks, his laughter, his humour—there are enough stories to fill a book. And though his voice is now silent, his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who love him. May his soul find eternal peace, and may his memory continue to dance in our hearts forever.

A visitation to honour and celebrate his life will be held at Northview Funeral Chapel and Cremation Centre, 1490 Highbury Avenue North, London, on Friday, February 28, 2025 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Parish Prayers to be held at 7:30 p.m. The funeral mass will be held at St. Francis – St. Martin Parish, 46 Cathcart Street, London, on Saturday, March 1, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Burial at St. Peter’s Cemetery to be followed by a reception at Northview Funeral Chapel. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to the CJD Foundation or the Heart and Stroke Foundation in Elvis’ memory.

Aunque fueron muy pocas veces que pude ver a Elvis en persona, todas las correspondencias que tuve con él por correo electrónico siempre mostraban lo amigable y querido que fue. Me da mucha tristeza saber del fallecimiento de Elvis y mando mucho cariño y condolencias hacia su familia. Que descanse en paz y en la eterna gloria de nuestro señor y salvador Jesús. “Sin embargo, lo que ahora sufrimos no es nada comparado con la gloria que él nos revelará más adelante.” ‭‭Romanos‬ ‭8‬:‭18‬

Tube la gran oportunidad de conocer al señor Elvis, una gran persona y siempre muy amigable y enterarnos el día de hoy que ya no está con nosotros me dio una gran tristeza. Y de todo corazón lo sentimos mucho y le damos nuestro sentido pésame a la esposa, hijos y demás familia y que papito Dios les de mucha fortaleza en estos momentos tan difíciles. Dios los bendiga siempre.

Querido tio: Hoy tu cuerpo posara físicamente en esta tierra pero tu alma descansa en paz junto a nuestro Señor. Tu familia te extrañará a montones pero los recuerdos sembrados con tanto amor en nuestros corazones estarán ahí hasta el día que nos reencontremos. Ese día seguro estarás con una copla (bomba) bien sonada dándonos la bienvenida a cada uno. El señor obra de maneras extrañas pero aun con este dolor doy gracias porque permitió en este tiempo procesar su partida, mis primos, mi tía mer, mis primos, mis tíos y su Míster ( mi papa) seguiremos en este mundo con la dicha de haber tenido en nuestras vida a una persona tan genial!. Con todo mi amor y cariño Tu Regina babucha ...... Ps. Hasta pronto!

~ Regina Espinoza

Recuerdo al Tío Elvis con su alegría, su entusiasmo, sus chistes y cuentos alegres, sus bromas y sus bailes, una persona de grata compañía. Pude ver como quería a sus sobrinos, a los cuales los llamaba con sobrenombres, no imagino el amor hacías sus hijas e hijo, hacia la tía Mercedes... Su personalidad y carisma hacían que fuera una persona fácil de estimar, admirar, querer. Estoy seguro que ahora esta junto a Jesús, en el cielo. Fortaleza y ánimo a toda la familia. David Ubeda

Just because we lived in different countries doesnt mean the closeness and the love wasnt there. I know mi Tio (Padrino) as well as his siblings were raised to be very closed to each other & love each other no matter what, that it extended throughout the following generations. We all made the effort to get together to celebrate anything as long as we were together,& mi Tio Elvis was no exception, almost always was there present. His contagious laughter, optimism and love was the icing in the cake. He will forever be loved and missed. RIP Tio Elvis

To the Espinoza Family, It is with heavy hearts that we remember our friend and teammate, Elvis. Whether it was through his contagious smile or the small gestures that brightened our days, Elvis touched the lives of so many people over his 25 years of working at Davis Martindale. While we grieve this tremendous loss, we also celebrate Elvis's kindness, loyalty, and dedication that he showed to everyone that had the privilege of knowing him. Those 3 characteristics are truly the legacy that he leaves at Davis Martindale. Our thoughts are with family, friends, and loved ones at this time. With deepest sympathy, The Davis Martindale Team

Dios es misericordioso. Él tiene un plan perfecto para cada uno de nosotros. Se es difícil despedirse de un ser querido pero nos queda el consuelo que nos veremos en la vida eterna. Fue muy inesperada su enfermedad y partió muy rápido. Quedo con el gozo de haber podido compartir la última vez que estuvo en su querida Nicaragua. Lo recordaré como era cariñoso y muy alegre. Lo quiero mucho tío Elvis. ❤️ Descanse en paz 🙏

~ Walkiria Espinoza

Mi tio Elvis Espinoza, el menor de los hermanos de mi papá, partió dejando un vacío profundo en nuestros corazones. Aunque la distancia geográfica nos mantuvo físicamente separados, el cariño y el respeto que sentía por él nunca disminuyeron. Su partida, marcada por una enfermedad extraña e inesperada, me ha dejado con un dolor y vacio no puedo describir con palabras. Mi tio era un hombre especial, alegre, justo, de esos que dejan huella con su bondad y su manera única de ver la vida. Aunque no estuvimos cerca, su recuerdo siempre estuvo presente, y ahora más que nunca, lo aprecio y lo extraño con mucho cariño. Que descanse en paz, querido tío. Tu recuerdo vivirá siempre en mí memoria y corazon, hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar. RIP.

~ Santiago Miguel
