Denis LEVASSEUR
September 8, 1952 - April 21, 2019
Obituary
It is with our deepest sadness that our hero, Denis Joseph Levasseur, age 66 passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Sunday April 21, 2019.
On any other Easter Sunday, Denis would have gone to Easter Mass with his wife of 45 years, Suzanne and his four boys, Corey (Michelle), Jamie (Natalie), Rob (Kristie), Rick (Sarah) and his 11 grandchildren (Brandon, Paige, Sydney, Kaley, Addison, Payton, Camden, Brielle, Charlotte, Cole, Paisley). He would have been outside playing with his grandchildren on the farm, taking them on quad rides, playing anti-i-over and finishing a few chores with a shadow of kids close behind. Denis would have helped prepare the Easter meal, mixing drinks for his boys, carving the turkey, and mashing the potatoes. He would have ended the day of festivities playing cards, listening to music and making sure everyone was happy and felt his love.
Denis spent his lifetime making sure his family and his friends were taken care of by lending a helping hand at any given moment, or making sure he sat down for a beer and a visit. He had such pride, admiration and love for his 3 brothers, Roland (Darce), Louis (Paulette), Paul (Diana); 2 sisters, Rose (Denis), Carmen (Doug) and many brother and sister-in-laws, nephews, nieces and cousins. We are at peace knowing he is now re-united with his parents, in-laws, and other loved ones.
It is our honor to invite you to join us for a Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday, April 27 at 11:00 a.m. at the St. Paul Cathedral, to celebrate the life of our hero, Denis. Reverend Father Gerard Gauthier will be the celebrant. Cremation to follow. In lieu of flowers, please bring the family beer and clam…or please make a small donation to one of Denis’ favourite charities, The Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation or Haying in the 30’s (Cancer Support Society) c/o 5626 – 51 Street, St. Paul, AB T0A 3A1.

Deepest sympathy to your family in your time of sorrow

We are deeply honoured to have known Denis. He enriched our lives. Meeting Denis included, becoming close friends to his wonderful wife Sue.
We also had the opportunities to meet their families and their good friends. These friendships rapidly bloomed, flowered, and strengthened.because of Denis and Sue. We will always have him in our hearts. Surely God will bless him.

Our deepest sympathies to Sue and family on the passing of Denis. He will be greatly missed by many. I had the pleasure of working, having coffee, and driving to car shows with Denis and Sue on several occasions. Denis was always kind, generous and had an impact on our son by offering his shop for high school rock band practices. Sorry that we cannot attend the celebration of life but our thoughts will be with you all during this difficult time. We will have a beer and clam for Denis.

Dear Suzanne, it is very hard for me to write to you. We only met you about a year ago in Mexico, at Dr. Castillos Clinic. WE Eric and I can not believe that your handsome husband had to give in to CANCER. Our Heart goes out to YOU, and of course to your children and grandchildren. The blessing in all this is …. they had the best grandpa in the world and of course the best and most beautiful grandma in the world. May God be with you and your family. If things work out may we come and visit you. Love Eric and Eleonore

It is with great sadness to hear that Denis lost his courageous battle against cancer. I met Denis playing Pickleball in Province and enjoyed our long conversations while waiting to play. He always had such a positive attitude and a kind word. Sending our deepest condolences to Denis’s family.
