Obituary of GUY RAYMOND JOSEPH TRUDEL

Guy Trudel

December 10, 1937 - April 19, 2025

In loving memory

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dear father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

Guy was predeceased by his loving wife of 54 years, Laurette and his parents Joseph and Cleophee Trudel. We take comfort in knowing that Dad is reunited with Mom and that we now have two special angels to watch over us. We know that he is rejoining many beloved relatives and friends who have passed before him.

Guy leaves to mourn his beloved children Debbie (Victor), Donna (Brent), and Guy Jr. ((Michele); three grandchildren Serena (Allan), Liron and Janvier as well as a great-grandson Carson. Also left to mourn his passing are his siblings Marielle, Real (Jeanette), Raymond (Yolande), Claudette (John), Celine and Donna. He is also survived by sisters-in-law Rose Joubert and Ida Beaudry (Eugene).

Dad was born in St. Malo, Manitoba on December 10, 1937. He worked various jobs in Western Canada before returning to Manitoba. Dad married mom on October 16, 1962. Guy began his firefighting career in Churchill where Debbie and Donna were born. Guy and Laurette eventually moved to Winnipeg, then St. Norbert and Fort Garry where Guy Jr. was born. Dad continued his career in Fort Garry and later in Winnipeg as the fire departments amalgamated in 1974. He finally moved the family to Transcona where he retired as a Captain from Station 25. Dad was an avid fisherman and hunter. He was quick to offer a helping hand to all. Dad coached his daughter’s ringette team and encouraged his son’s hockey playing. He enjoyed watching his grandchildren play ringette and hockey and cheered them on enthusiastically.

We will miss his sense of humour, his storytelling and his presence at family dinners and celebrations. We are grateful for the care and support that Dad and his family received from the first floor staff at Concordia Place where we were told more than once that he was a staff favourite.

Rest in peace Dad. You have earned your place in heaven.

As per the family’s wishes a private service has taken place at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1800 Day Street in Winnipeg, MB.
