I really don't have the words to express how deeply saddened I am that this beautiful light has been extinguished in our physical realm. His beauty, warmth and kindness is enduring and I just hope that the family can feel it's ethereal glow even now. A heart of gold stopped beating, Two shining eyes at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. God knows you had to leave us, but you didn't go alone, for part of us went with you the day He took you home. Mariana, Maria, Anissa, Marco...to all of your family. We hold you in our hearts and send you so much love. Borrow on our strength. We'll be here to hold you.

My deepest condolences to Anisa and Gustavo’s family. Gustavo was talented, smart, loving and a great friend. He always made me feel welcomed and loved. He was the kind of friend you can cry with and then watch a scary movie right after. I’ve always been so proud of everything he’s accomplished along with Anisa, they made such a great team. I’ve always looked up to Gustavo and I will really miss my friend.

Dear Gustavo, unfortunately we didn't have much contact, first because we left São Paulo, and then you left Brazil and so did we. But every time we went to your house, you were always affectionate with your family and also very shy, because of the distance from all of us. But you really became a beautiful man with a huge heart. We're sorry you left so soon. Our condolences to our cousins and Anisa's family. receive our love

To my oldest, dearest, and most best friends’ little brother, Gustavo. Life is an interesting journey, our story….as much as we can try and plan, and point ourselves in the direction we want to go, it can have a major plot twist, that can all change in an instance, that was never, ever expected and furthermore such a heartbreaking ending, than what we could ever have anticipated. In this case, tragedy is the word that comes to my mind, when I think about the events that have taken place, in the past year and a half, as you fought so hard and suffered, and then when you took your last breath Tuesday morning. It was all just so very, very tragic. Everyone’s time on this Earth is limited, nothing guaranteed. When we hear about the death of a stranger, our hearts go out to them and we sympathize and empathize with the ones left here to mourn and grieve them. That said, it never really sinks in, until it happens to someone, who was a part of our own story….who we knew and cared for. I will always remember you Gu , just as I knew you. A kind, loving, happy little boy, who was sooooo enthralled with his big sister that there was never a moment when I was around that you wanted to be away from her. “Maaaaa, Maaaaaa!!!!!”, you’d shout in excitement, from beside her while pulling at her shirt or tapping her to get her attention, when I’d be over visiting, followed by some adorable stuttering and a mixture of what I recall to be Portuguese and English words that would spout out of your mouth, and I wouldn’t have the slightest idea of what you said, because my goodness you could talk soooo fast….but I knew whatever it was, it was said with such love and adornment for your sister Mariana. After my moving to B.C. as a teenager, I never saw you into your teenage years and adulthood, but I sure felt like I did, the way your sister alway boasted (she was so proud of all your accomplishments and the man you’d become) about your amazing personality, your big heart, your calm and collective and humble demeanour, your patience, your many gifts and talents…the list could go on and on….and so will you Gu….I’m so sorry, that your journey Earth-side got cut short….it’s hard for me to understand it when good people have to leave so early. You, and your beautiful spirit however, will live on, in the hearts, the memories and the actions of those who knew you, love you and people who will miss you deeply. The world got a little darker the day you left, for so many people, but when I look up in the sky, as I do so often, and count all the big, beautiful bright glowing stars upon us, for the people I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of my life, who have already made their journey home, there will now be one up there shining brightly for you too, to represent a little opening into heaven, where our lost ones love can pour through and shine down upon us, to let us know you are always there with us, all around us, in spirit. May you Rest In Peace Gustavo. You will be greatly missed. Until the road decides our paths should cross again, Brittany Raynsford To: Mariana, Bryce, Mia & Collie, Maria, Frank & Emilie Marcos, & John, Anisa & family, & all close family & friends, Extending our deep and heartfelt sympathy to each and every one of you. Thinking of you at this time of sorrow with a wish for strength and courage as you face the coming days ahead. With love sent from across the miles, Brittany & Laurel Raynsford

We are so sorry for your loss. We can’t imagine what you are going through. We always enjoyed Gustavo’s company and conversations when we came by to visit. He grew up to become a wonderful man and soul. Cute Story I will always remember: Camping in Algonquin park and trying to make Gustovo’s first Canadian camping experience a great one. I am sure his mother can elaborate better than me. I was in a tent with my puppy “Apollo” and pack of wolves came through my site. Puppy woke me up and I not thinking about what was out there threw dog in car. Wolves lost interest and went to neighbouring site where Gustovo was in a deep sleep. Wolves were in the kitchen tent making noise looking for leftover BBQ and Mom , sister and Frank were freaking out seeing this happen… Next day we looked at the paw prints and Gusto asked what animal it was. Not to scare the boy we said they were large raccoons. Trip was memorable and Gustovo I think had a successful Canadian experience. Sending sympathies. Treasure the little memories . Wishing you nothing but comfort and strength. Peggy Gemert and John Malcolm
