January 22, 1958 – March 9, 2025
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Romuald (aka Roman) Augustyn, a devoted husband, loving father, and cherished friend, who left us on March 9, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Roman is survived by his wife Alicja, sons Lucas and Kayetan, and sister Bozena. He was predeceased by his parents, Jan and Jadwiga, and brother Alojzy.
Born in Nowa Ruda, Poland, Roman and his wife Alicja made Canada their second home. Roman always embraced life with an open heart and an adventurous spirit. He was a dreamer, an avid reader, and an intellectual who found joy in deep conversations and new discoveries. His love for travel and culinary adventures took him to many corners of the world, but his greatest passion was always his family.
Roman was my lifelong love and partner, and together, we built a life filled with laughter, exploration, and unwavering devotion. As a father to our two sons, he nurtured them with wisdom, kindness, and an unbreakable bond that will live on in their hearts.
Roman had an extraordinary ability to make friends wherever he went. His warmth, humour, and generosity touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He embraced life with a contagious enthusiasm, reminding us all to cherish every moment.
Roman worked as a GIS Specialist for Lakehead Conservation Authority until his retirement in March 2024. He loved his work and the wonderful people he had the privilege of working with.
We invite family and friends to join us in celebrating his life. A virtual Zoom gathering to commemorate Roman's life will be scheduled at a future date. Details and invitations will be provided to family and friends in due course.
His love will forever guide us, and his spirit will live on in the adventures we take, the books we read, and the love we share.
