SUMMARY:John Masuka Hidaya
DESCRIPTION:In Loving Memory\n\n\nIn Loving Memory of John Masuka Hidaya\nCelebrating a Life of Love, Resilience, and Laughter\nWith profound sadness and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, John Masuka Hidaya, on November 5, 2026, at the age of 83. He was born on April 18, 1943, in Bariadi, Tanzania.\nBorn and raised in Tanzania, John was a proud member of the Sukuma people, the largest ethnic group in the country. He trained and practised as a doctor in Tanzania before beginning a remarkable journey that would take him across continents and shape the lives of generations to come.\nJohn married his beloved wife, Ruth Seru Masuka, and together they built a loving family, raising their children with dedication, strength, and care.\nWith determination, courage, and the generous support of Ruth’s siblings, John brought his family to Canada in pursuit of new opportunities and a brighter future. Together, he and Ruth established their home in Regent Park, Toronto, where they embraced a new chapter and created a lasting foundation for their family.\nBeyond his professional accomplishments and extraordinary life journey, John will be remembered most for his wonderful sense of humour. Dad was truly hilarious. His jokes, stories, playful teasing, and the way he loved to tickle his children and grandchildren brought endless laughter and joy to everyone around him.\nHe was known for a favourite saying that perfectly captured his playful spirit:\n“I don’t like you, but I love you.”\nThose words will forever remind us of his unique and unforgettable way of expressing affection.\nJohn leaves behind a legacy of resilience, love, laughter, and family that will continue through his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, relatives, and many dear friends.\nWe extend our heartfelt gratitude and love to all family and friends, especially those joining us from Tanzania and around the world through the livestream. Though separated by distance, we are united in love, remembrance, and the cherished memories we share.\nJohn’s journey began in Tanzania and continued in Canada, but wherever he went, he carried his roots with pride and touched the lives of those around him. His memory, wisdom, kindness, and laughter will remain with us always.\nForever loved. Forever remembered. Forever missed.\nMay his soul rest in eternal peace.\nReception at Ajax community Centre located at 75 Centennial Rd, Ajax, ON L1S 4S4. The reception is from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM.\n\n \nTechnical Difficulties Disclaimer:\n*In the event of technical difficulties, kindly refresh the webpage.
