Vythe was born in Mauritius to a big family where he was the 6th of 9 children. At an early age, he left Mauritius to travel and eventually moved to Canada in 1977. In the following years, he decided to get married, and destiny brought him to his wife of 44 years, Rani. They got married in Mauritius in 1980 and left for Canada soon after.
He started working at the Douglas Hospital as a cook, and as he was starting his family, he went to school to become a Special Educator. During his career of 35 years as a Special Educator, he brought smiles and care to many, always with patience and care.
In the 44 years of marriage, Rani and Vythe started a family, complete with their daughter, Nadia, and two sons, Deva and Kisna. They have countless loving memories of playing, joking, and spending quality time together as a family. He was a quiet man, but he was the kindest and most dependable father and husband who wholeheartedly loved his family. Eventually, this love extended to his son-in-law, Jatinder, and his three grandchildren, Samantha, Sacha and Jaxon. As a grandfather, he built a bond with his grandchildren that will keep them connected forever.
Everyone who has had the chance to meet and know Vythe knows him for his kind and gentle soul, and he was seen as a father figure to many. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the outpouring love, support, and condolences during this difficult time. The viewing will be held at Urgel Bourgie, 8145 Ch. De Chambly, Saint-Hubert, QC, J3Y 5K2 on Sunday, August 18th from 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 9pm.
