It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Mato Sonicki, beloved father, grandfather, and friend, who left us on 21st of April 2025 at the age of 91. Mato was a man of great strength, integrity, and kindness, whose presence touched the lives of everyone who knew him.
Born on 27th of May, 1933 in Hrvatsko Selo, Croatia, Mato was a dedicated husband to Jane (Lalic) Sonicki and loving father to his child, Maria. He was a proud grandfather to Petar and Kristina and cherished the time he spent with his family, always offering love, wisdom, and support. His devotion to his family was unmatched, and his legacy will live on through the values he instilled in all of us.
Mato was known for his warm heart and hardworking nature. He had a unique ability to make those around him feel special and valued, whether through a conversation or a shared laugh with a shot of Slivovica or Kruskovac (Croatian liquors). He was always willing to lend a hand, share a story, or offer guidance to anyone in need. His humility and kindness left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who were fortunate to know him.
In addition to his family, Mato had a deep connection to his Croatian community. He was respected and loved by many, and his contributions—both big and small—made the world a better place. Whether through his work, his friendships, or his quiet acts of service, Mato’s impact will be felt for generations to come.
Mato was predeceased by his father Marko Sonicki, his mother Eva (Medved) Sonicki, brother Viktor Sonicki, sister in law Ruza Sonicki and his niece Jasna Sonicki. He is survived by Maria (Lalic) and Alain Rinfret and his two brothers Ivica (Erna) Sonicki and Joza (Andela)Sonicki and many nieces, nephews and cousins, family, friends who will continue to honor his memory with love and gratitude.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to St Nikola Tavelic Montreal Parish in Mato’s honor.
Mato will be deeply missed, but his spirit, love, and wisdom will remain with us always. Rest in peace, dear tata. Your journey may have ended, but the love you gave continues to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew you.
