Obituary of Maximiliano Urzua

On Tuesday July 16th, 2013, the Urzua & Lazakis Families received a life changing telephone call to inform them that Maximiliano (MAX) Urzua, father of Victor Urzua and Pamela Urzua Lazakis and husband to Patricia Urzua, was killed in a horrific motorcycle accident, near New Hope, Pennsylvania. Max was only 67 years young. It is evident to us that he has touched so many lives. The outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming and so greatly appreciated to say the least. The family is moved by all the love and encouragement they have received over the past few days. Flowers and candles have appeared at his work place, heartfelt letters, hundreds of calls asking what we can do to pay our respects, people making food in order to alleviate any menial tasks such as cooking. We thank you all with so much love. The Urzua & Lazakis families will receive friends at the DeStefano Funeral Home, 1289 Keith Ross Drive, Oshawa, ON (south side of Taunton Road, just east of Thornton Road) 905-440-3595, on Friday, July 26th from 6-7 p.m. A service to celebrate Max's life will be held in the Chapel at 7 p.m. For those that knew Max well, know that he was passionate about many things, however, three things where near and dear to his heart, his motorcycle, the love of animals, and children. We have taken some solace in that he left this world doing something he loved to do. We would like his passions to live on and grant one last tribute to this gentle and loving man with a beautiful heart and soul. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made to Nova's Ark*.
