Obituary of Rogelio Manuel Mella

Rogelio Manuel Mella also known as, Kelo, Chico, passed away on October 15th, 2022 as a result of a cardiac arrest. He is survived by his loving wife, Magaly Mella, his children Nicolas Mella (Glodiana), and Jonathan Mella (Marissa), his grandchildren Alexander, James and Isaiah, his mother Ana Rosa Tapia Tobar, his predeceased father Rogelio Segundo Mella, his siblings, Mario Mella (Gloria), Antonio Mella (Judith), Jimena Mella,

Miguel Mella (Jimena) and Valeria Mella (Carlos) and several nieces and nephews.

Rogelio immigrated to Canada from Chile in 1978, as a refugee due to a Chilean dictatorship.

Rogelio had a zest for life, had a great sense of humour, was always a gentleman and loved his family dearly. He enjoyed spending time with his three grandsons, family, friends and his second family of friends, Rumbo Al Sur.

Rogelio loved to share his wisdom, was passionate about soccer and from time to time you could find him at the roulette tables.

Rogelio will be deeply missed by all of his children, grandchildren, his extended family and many nieces and nephews and friends.

May he rest in eternal peace.
