December 30 2022 residing in the province of Quebec for funeral details
It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Costa “Gus” Christopoulos on December 30, 2022 in a cycling accident in Florida. Beloved husband and life partner of Tina Ferstman. Proud father of Andriana, devoted son of Panagiotis “Peter” and Athanasia “Sia” Christopoulos, loving big brother and brother-in-law to Anna and Peter (Dimitrakopoulos), Angelo and Mary (Kolokotronis). Treasured uncle of Nicolas and Thomas “Thano” Dimitrakopoulos, Nancy and Paulina Christopoulos. Gus will be greatly missed by his family, friends, colleagues, clients, cycling cronies, golf, hiking and ski buddies, and all those whose lives he touched.
Gus grew up on Sewell St. in Montreal in a multicultural neighbourhood. During those formative years he participated in many activities at Sun Youth Organization, where he played sports, coached baseball, and worked part-time through university in their crime prevention program. Gus and Tina met while studying Exercise Science at Concordia and created a life together centered on their many good friends, travel, and active outdoor adventures. They married in 1992, magically blending their different cultures and backgrounds, and were a formidable team for forty years at home and out in the world. Gus loved being a parent and Andriana’s presence in his life enriched him beyond words.
Gus’s strong work ethic, his passion for health and fitness, and his genuine way with people, all came together to help build a very successful business at Fitness Depot. After retiring a year and a half ago, he was delighted to spend more time with his family and friends, travelling, and pursuing his lifelong passions including fitness and cycling. His last Facebook post, from Jensen Beach, Florida – a picture of him and Tina with an ocean sunset in the background – read “Just arrived at our happy place”. When he died, he was training for an epic cycling trip through the Andes in Colombia.
Gus was a quiet leader, generous mentor and loving son, brother, husband and father. We are heartbroken to lose him far too soon, but grateful for the time we had with this warm, kind and special man.
Visitation will be held at Voluntas Funeral Home, 4695 Boul. St-Jean, D.D.O. The funeral service will be at Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church, 20 Brunswick Blvd, D.D.O., followed by burial at Mount Royal Cemetery. A Shiva will follow at Tina and Gus’s home. DATES AND TIMES TO FOLLOW.
To honour Gus’s memory and an important influence in his life, the family will be setting up a special fund at Sun Youth Organization. In lieu of flowers, please consider making an in-memoriam donation to Sun Youth 514-842-6822.
