With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of a beloved patriarch, Dr. Anilkant Mody, who completed his journey on April 5, 2024 at the age of 93. He leaves behind a legacy of love, compassion, and boundless generosity that touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Born in Gujarat, India, Anil immigrated to Montreal, Canada in 1960, where he became an integral part of the Gujarati community. For 65 years, he shared a deeply devoted marriage with his beloved wife, Kumud Mody, nurturing a bond that stood as a testament to enduring love and commitment.
As a father to Parimal Mody (Rupal), and Priti Muradia (Rajiv), and a cherished grandfather to three wonderful girls; Tara, Priya and Malika, and devoted brother to late Hasmukh, late Chandrakant, late Saryu, Kokila & Vipul, he epitomized the values of family, instilling in his loved ones a sense of unity, resilience, and the importance of cherishing every moment together.
Throughout his remarkable life, Anil served as a pillar in the Gujarati community, extending his hand in support to those in need. Whether it was sponsoring individuals to Canada and the US, offering assistance to budding entrepreneurs, or providing invaluable notary services, his unwavering dedication to helping others knew no bounds.
Anil found immense joy in human connection, relishing every moment spent in the company of his family and friends. His infectious laughter, warm smile, and genuine interest in others endeared him to all who crossed his path. He particularly delighted in capturing moments with his loved ones through photographs, cherishing these memories as timeless treasures.
Thank you to Frederick Persaud (our Personal Support Worker) and Grace Macleod (our Pallative Nurse) who offered great support and kindness for the last several months.
Though Anil may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the countless lives he touched and the indelible mark he left on the hearts of all who knew him. While we mourn his loss, we also celebrate the completion of a life lived with purpose, compassion, and unwavering love.
Visitation will be held at Beechwood, Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services, 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa on Tuesday, April 9 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., with service to follow at 11 a.m. Following the service, a reception will take place in the reception suite at Beechwood.

We have extremely fond, warm, sweet and everlasting memories of our dear Anilbhai Mody since we came to Ottawa from Mumbai, India in 1969. Right from the first day, we found him to be extremely warm, generous, kind and considerate. We will never forget his priceless knowledge about accounting, mathematics and especially, about the real estate market industry, both residential and commercial. Even today, i have the book very well written by him about A to Z of real estate market, This is the BEST ever memory of dear Anilbhai that will stay with us forever. Last but not the least, we will never ever forget his compliments to both of us every time we met him. He used to say, very sincerely, warmly, honestly AND WITH A BIG SMILE "YOU ARE THE BEST COUPLE"
HIS LIFE WAS AND WILL BE ABSOLUTELY EXEMPLARY
OM SHANTI.....SHANTI.....SHANTI.......!
