Obituary

Roger "Scott" Currie passed away suddenly on January 17, 2023, at his home in Barrie, Ontario, with his loving wife Maria at his side. 

 

He was the second son of Marie Currie (nee Maloney) and Paul Currie (deceased) of Toronto.  Scott is survived by his wife Maria Duque Currie, older brother Blair Stephen Currie, and younger sister Braunwyn Marie Currie and her loving husband, George Karkoulas, a favourite of Scott. 

Scott and Maria were married on February 20, 2010. According to Scott's brother, marrying Maria was quite likely the smartest decision Scott made during his colourful life. They met in their late 20’s and spent thirty great years together.  

 

Maria was there through thick and thin, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health. She was fighting for him when Scott took his last breath. 

 

Scott will also be greatly missed by his niece Erin Sakura Currie and his nephew Sean Scott Currie both of whom considered Scott to have been one of the funniest men on this planet. 

 

Scott is also survived by the amazing Duque Family including Maria’s mother Ms. Ines Duque, Alfredo Duque (and wife Miranda), Paul Duque (and wife Becky), Rick Duque (and wife Judy) Helen Reis (and husband Tony), Steve Duque (and wife Lina) Sandy Estrela (and husband Rudy), as well as Maria’s many great nieces and nephews.  

 

Finally, Scott leaves behind Cooper. Ginger, and Shadow, his daily companions and beloved felines.

 

Scott loved his family, the great outdoors, nature, Muskoka, his boat, and every gadget known to mankind.  Those who knew Scott were amazed at his grit and perseverance.  

 

For those who wish to pay their respects to Scott (aka ”Skeeter”), a viewing will be held at Cardinal Funeral Home, 366 Bathurst Street, Toronto, Ontarioon both Monday, January 23rd and Tuesday, January 24th from 3-5pm and 6-9pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations to The Heart & Stroke Foundation in memory of Scott would be greatly appreciated by the family.

I am deeply sorry to hear of Scott's passing. He was a person of great character and will be missed by many. While we were all working at Woolco, I witnessed him and Maria fall in love and will always remember him as a big teddy bear. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
