We are heartbroken to share the unexpected passing of Zenon Patrick Lipinski at 76 years old at Trillium Hospital in Mississauga.
He is survived by his daughter Tracey Lipinski and his son Zeny Lipinski (Jennifer), along with his grandchildren Zachery, Kaitlyn, Zenon, and Emily. He was preceded in death by his dear wife Patricia Lipinski (Wilkinson) and sister Wanda Kerr (Lipinski).
Zenon was born in Poland and immigrated to Canada during WWII as a young child with his father and sister. He lived in Brampton for much of his life before moving to Orangeville to raise his son with Patty, where he stayed until his final days.
Zenon dedicated 35 years of service to the Peel District School Board. He also had an impressive lacrosse career that spanned six decades. Zenon played for the Philadelphia Wings professional lacrosse team in 1974 and 1975. Earlier, he won a Mann Cup as a player with the Brantford Warriors in 1971. Throughout his lengthy career, he received numerous awards, including several Mann Cups as General Manager with the Brampton Excelsiors Organization. He proudly holds memberships in the Brampton Sports Hall of Fame, Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame, and Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
In retirement, Zenon enjoyed living comfortably with his son and family in Amaranth, ON. Each year, at the first hint of winter, he would fly Air Canada to Brazil. He cherished time spent with friends down south and loved savoring sweet mangos and cold beers on the beach. In later years, you could often find him at home supporting his grandchildren at their sporting events.
A generous person, Zenon’s influence will remain through all those whose lives he impacted both professionally and personally.
The visitation will be held at Wards Funeral Home in Brampton on August 6th from 2-4 PM and 7-9 PM. The Service will take place at St. Mary’s Church in Brampton at 10:30 AM on August 7th followed by a gathering at Dixon Union Cemetery in Caledon where Zenon will be laid to rest next to his wife.
If you wish, memorial donations can be made to Brampton Minor Lacrosse in Zenon’s name where a fund will be established to assist disadvantaged youth getting started in lacrosse within Brampton.
