Branko Ivanisevic
October 10, 1949 - June 1, 2025
Branko Ivanisevic, age 75, passed away peacefully on June 1, 2025, at University Hospital in London, Ontario, surrounded by his family.
He was born on October 10th, 1949, in the village of Kozlovac, that belongs to the city of Benkovac (in former Yugoslavia). At the age of 19, Branko immigrated to Canada in search of a better life and worked diligently to build one. Through faith, sacrifice, and devotion, he created a loving home and lasting legacy for his family. He was a proud lifelong member of St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church.
Branko was proud of his 35-year career at General Motors, where he worked with dedication and integrity. His honest work was a reflection of his faith, character, and devotion to his loved ones.
He was the embodiment of strength, kindness, and humility. A man of tremendous character, Branko was known for his selflessness, strong work ethic, and deep love for his children and grandchildren. He devoted every day to his family, finding his greatest joy in their presence and the moments shared together. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for those he loved.
Branko was predeceased by his beloved wife, Jeka Ivanisevic, who passed away on February 14, 1984. He is survived by his loving daughter Branka Casey (Adam), and devoted son Cedo Ivanisevic (Claudia). He was a cherished Deda to Emily, Caitlin, Maia, Daniel, and Katia.
Visitation will take place at Northview Funeral Chapel, 1490 Highbury Avenue North, London on Wednesday, June 4, 2025 from 2:00 to 4:00 and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. with prayers at 8:00 p.m. The funeral service will be held at St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church, 5567 Wonderland Road South, London on Thursday, June 5, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. with the interment to follow at Woodland Cemetery, London.

My uncle was Branko Pasic (George, Steve and Nick). I attended St Sava many times over the years - and played soccer on the church team with your dad. He was a great friend and always had a smile on his face. My condolences to your family. May his memory be eternal.
I was lucky to have Branko as my godfather, and I now understand more than ever why my parents chose him for that role. He was selfless, caring, and always made time for me. Some of my most cherished childhood memories are with him. I remember the quiet joy of eating turkey sandwiches together in the parking lot after a long day at Canada’s Wonderland, and the unforgettable excitement of watching a massive building being demolished downtown. The kinds of things that might seem ordinary, but which became unforgettable because I shared them with him during such formative years for me. I guess he had a way of turning the simplest moments into lasting memories. He showed his love with his time, attention, and steady presence. One day, I hope to be that same kind of presence in someone else’s life as a way of honouring the life he lived. Rest in peace, Kum.
We wish to convey our deepest sympathy for the whole family . I know he meant so much to you all and he will be sorely missed. His legacy lives true to his testament for life as his spirit lives on.

Kum was the person that everyone could count on. If you needed something, he was there, no questions asked. I never once heard him complain, in fact he would always see the bright side to every situation and offer kind words. One of my favourite memories as a kid was swimming in his pool all summer at his old house. It was always open for us and we would spend hours having fun in the backyard. He loved to talk about his grandkids. He is so proud of them. I look forward to meeting with them in the future because I am sure they have beautiful stories to share with me. Kum truly embodies what it is to be a positive person who sees the cup half full. He has touched many peoples lives for the better. Love you Kum
