It is with heavy hearts that the family announces his passing at the Maison McCulloch Hospice in Sudbury, on Thursday, June 11, 2026, at the age of 67 years after a nearly 4-year battle from cancer.
Son of late Lionel (Jos) Brisson and the late Jeannette Brisson (née Wissell) (predeceased on June 9, 2026). Loving husband of 26 years to Linda (née Rancourt), his daughter Sophie (friend Dan Wickenden) and his son Alex (still at home). He is predeceased by his newborn son Patrique in 2002. Cherished brother of Michel (Hélène), Gaëtan (Paulette), Jean-Paul (Laurie), Estelle (Bruce) and late Richard Wissell (Brenda). His wife’s family, Ray and Cécile Rancourt, Lise and Paul Branconnier and Brian and Tammy Rancourt. He will be deeply missed by many nieces and nephews, relatives and dear friends.
Biz was a man who loved deeply and lived simply. He found his greatest happiness surrounded by family and friends, whether gathered around a campfire, cheering on his beloved Montréal Canadiens or Toronto Blue Jays, or sharing a meal he had lovingly prepared.
Although he could be shy in a crowd, those who knew him best knew his warm smile, quick laugh, and generous heart. He was hardworking, dependable, and always willing to lend a helping hand. His love for the outdoors, hunting, fishing, camping, and sports brought him countless joyful memories.
More than anything else, Biz treasured his family. He was a devoted husband and a loving father. His unconditional love, quiet strength, and protective nature will remain with his family always.
The family will receive relatives and friends at the St-Charles Borromée Church in St.-Charles on Monday, June 29, 2026, from 10:00 am to 11:00, followed by a service at 11:30 am at the same location. Family and friends are then invited to share a meal at the St. Charles Community Centre on Casimir Road. To honour Biz’s love of sports, please wear your favourite hockey or baseball jersey. Donations to the Maison McCulloch Hospice https://maisonsudburyhospice.org/donate/ would be appreciated.
Although I am saddened to see him go, I am grateful that he is no longer suffering. I was raised just a few houses down from where Guy lived, and he was always supportive, encouraging, and caring.
I had the privilege of playing both with him and against him in sports. He had a wonderful competitive spirit, and I truly looked up to him because of it.
I will always cherish the beautiful memories we shared. I am truly grateful that Guy was part of my life.
My heartfelt and sincere sympathies to his family and friends.
Sincerely,
Pierre A. Bedard

Linda and family.
Having just met last year in St Charles at the Ray and Cecile Rancourt homestead and sharing some of my personal cancer journey challenges, I was heartbroken to hear the news of Buz’s passing.
Wishing you my sincerest sympathies and I am sure the Rancourt and Quenneville family will be there to support you. Take care.
