Ilmashrudeen Tullah

He will be deeply missed by his wife of 17 years, Sayona and their two sons, Rahim and Armaan; his parents Nizam and Elizabeth; his siblings, in-laws, nieces and nephews, and countless other relatives and friends.

Ilmash was born on November 22, 1974 at his family’s home in Adelphi Village, Berbice, Guyana and immigrated to Canada in 1978. After spending 5 years in Toronto, his family moved to Brampton in 1983 where he grew up, attended school and eventually met his loving wife Sayona in 2001. They later married in 2005, became parents and grew a successful business together.

While Ilmash left us early, he accomplished many things in his short 47 years and was a brilliant, self-made man. He was a role model to his sons, nieces and nephews who all loved him dearly. Family and friends will always remember Ilmash for his strength, thoughtfulness, generosity, kindness, funny wit, and of course his endearing bashfulness. Among other things, he was blessed as a great listener whose advice was highly regarded. He had a love for classic Indian and West Indian music, and also anything fun and upbeat that he would attempt to dance to, even with his two left feet. Considering he was never a dog person, when they got his Odin (or Odor as he liked to affectionately call him) they instantly connected and loved each other. He had a love for great food - duck curry, goat curry, anything from a good Guyanese Chinese restaurant, steak, and of course a big thick juicy beef burger with lots of mayo. More than his love for good food, he enjoyed sharing it with his beloved sons and wife.

Ilmash’s presence in our lives will be greatly missed but he will continue to live on in all our hearts.
