Denis Rondeau

Denis Rondeau

1956 - 2014

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and uncle, Denis Rondeau.

Denis met the love of his life, Nicole (nee Labossiere) in Somerset, Manitoba. After a brief courtship they were married. In the 38 years that followed Denis and Nicole were blessed with four beautiful children; Nicholas (Jessica), Joshua, Jonathan and Devon (Tyler Downey) and one Grandchild, Liam, whom he cherished.

Denis' working life started in the fields on the family farm. A short time later, in 1987, he joined the RCMP. He spent 26 years serving and protecting at his various detachments and became a well respected sergeant by the time of his retirement in 2013.

As well as his wife and kids, Denis will lovingly be remembered by his mother, Edith, brothers Gilles (Janine) and Richard (Ilona), sisters Yolande (Michael McCannell) and Annette (Daniel Dion) and many nieces, nephews and in-laws. He was predeceased by his father, Raymond.

Denis will be fondly remembered for his love of hunting, the Montreal Canadiens and being Mr. fix-it, which was greatly appreciated by many.

Until we meet again Denis, "hakuna matata". You will never be far from our hearts.

A celebration of Denis' life will be held at St. Leon Roman Catholic Church, St. Leon, Manitoba on Wednesday, January 14, 2015. Memorial service at 2 pm followed by Funeral Mass at 2:30 with Father Armand Le Gal officiating. A reception will be held at St. Leon hall immediately after the service.

In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to The Heart and Stroke Foundation.
