It is with profound sadness that we announce that our beloved Alex fell asleep in the Lord on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at the age of 64 years. Beloved son of the late Fares (Frank) Monsour and the late Helen (Elaine) Monsour (née Nassrallah). Loving brother of the late Alfred (“Alfie”) Monsour, Eli Monsour, and Alexa Monsour. He will be sadly missed by his many uncles, aunts, cousins, extended family, and friends.
Alex was a compassionate and caring individual, whose personality and humour would often brighten a room. His laugh and personality were infectious. He loved his family and friends, and he was universally loved in return. Alex had a passion for cars and the pursuit of knowledge. He was a source of strength and stability for all who knew him. Alex will be deeply missed and forever loved.
The family will receive visitors and Mass attendees at St. Elias Cathedral, located at 750 Ridgewood Avenue, Ottawa, ON, on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, from 10:00 AM until 11 a.m. Mass. Burial to follow at Beechwood Cemetery, located at 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, ON. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to St. Elias Cathedral or a charity of your choosing.

I knew Alex many years ago when we used to go to Shooters. We lost touch over the years as we got on with our lives. I am so shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. Gone too soon.
Sincerest condolences to all the family x
