With shattered hearts and broken souls, we announce the passing of our dearly loved son Joseph Paulo Swain-Faria, in the early morning hours of November 17, 2024, at the young age of 32.
Joseph was born five and a half weeks prematurely on October 9, 1992, weighing just 4 lbs. Against the odds he grew strong, loving, kind, caring, funny, intelligent and more perfect every day and it never changed. He genuinely cared for everyone in his life, no matter if they were family, friends, co-workers or even a stranger in need of kindness. He had the most tender heart that could be hurt deeply, but he'd never say a word about it to protect another's feelings. His drive to achieve and "do better" as he'd say, was nothing short of awe inspiring. From making sure he had good grades so he could get a part-time job at 15...to working three part-time jobs, while going to school full time and graduating with three Diplomas for Academics and Trade. His drive and passion only heightened with the birth of each of his boys, his little hearts. In his words..."my boys deserve everything that a Dad can be proud of". The love for his boys was everything and he was the very best Dad a child could hope for.
Ones left to love Joseph are his sons, Ezra, Alistair, Soren, Hayden and Jack - mother Mandy, stepdad Chris, father Paulo (Sandra), sisters and brothers - Devin, Sara (Coasta), Cearra (Lachlan) and Bruno. As well as so many family members, loved ones, friends and co-workers. Spending five minutes with my son was all it took to fall in love with his heart.
Joseph was a son, a brother, a grandson, a nephew, an uncle, a bestie/friendo and most importantly to him, a Daddy...and he loved us all with all his whole self. Especially his babies.
Joseph had so many interests throughout his life, including working as a roofer when he wasn't fond of heights, building things, learning new trades, doing breakfasts with his best friends, hanging out with his family...but his music, Anime, Manga and his video games were top on his list when he needed to decompress.
Your laugh, your hugs, your love, your dimples, your heart, your presence....YOU will be missed and loved beyond my last breath, my beautiful perfect baby boy.
Funeral Service to be held Thursday, December 5, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. at Wojcik’s Chapel of Memories, 1020 Main Street. Viewing will be at 1:00 p.m. Reception to follow Service.

Joseph was not just a good friend but a great one. It didn’t matter if you spoke last week or five years ago, he was always there to converse like a second had not passed. While I haven’t seen Joe since high school, we stayed in touch throughout the years. Sharing Netflix passwords and favourite animes, and watching him become a Dad. He was truly a joy to be friends with. His passing has left me heartbroken and deeply disturbed but this hurt will never tarnish my memories of him. A good man, a fantastic dad, and a person whose absence in this world has not gone unnoticed. When given the opportunity I will always be proud to share my memories of him. I deeply wish this wasn’t reality and my entire heart goes out to his family and his precious children. I’ve been praying for each of you everyday. I truly hope that despite how challenging and difficult this time has been, his family are able to find the road that leads them to healing and peace. While I may be a stranger to them, I hope they know someone is thinking of their healing. Joseph, may you rest peacefully. - Posted by: Katie Lauren (Friend) on: Dec 02, 2024
