It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of René Lemieux, on Thursday, June 25th, 2020, at the age of 68. René will be dearly missed by his sons Tyler and Cody Lemieux as well as his good friends Brian and Helen Nielsen. René was born in St-Octave de l’Avenir, Québec to Stanley and Rita Lemieux (predeceased). He will be dearly remembered by his siblings, Madeline Lemieux, Lucie Laflamme (Pierre), Mike Lemieux, Marie Lemieux (René), Thérèse Verellen (André), Yolande Lemieux (Michel), Francis Lemieux (Pierre). He will be sadly missed by his sisters-in-law, Sandy, Lynn and Joanne Lemieux. René is predeceased by his brothers Jean-Yves, Roger, Mario and Laurence Lemieux. René will be remembered for his love for his family and friends. He enjoyed spending his time playing baseball, crib, fishing, and camping. We would like to thank all of the staff at Finlandia Village Nursing home for their outstanding care and compassion. Donations can be made online to the Finlandia Village SISU Foundation or to the Canadian Diabetes Association. In keeping with his wishes, there will be no service or visitation. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
I am so sorry to hear of René’s passing. He was a long time neighbour and a very good one at that, letting me use his backyard pool on hot summer days. My husband and I enjoyed many chats with him; he always seemed to have a fishing story to tell. May you rest in peace, René.

So many memories of when you lived with us in Calgary. Your bird Blue who you doted on is one. You were a good man with an infectious smile! With all you Lemieux boys up there in heaven there’s probably one heck of a poker game going on! RIP, you leave a hole in the hearts of many.

René, the friendly giant with a great big heart. Your constant smile and quiet demeanour will be missed. Thanks for being such a positive human being and for making others feel good. To this day, I still remember you and Mike preparing the best fish fries and making sure there was enough food for everybody! See you in heaven one day!
