It is with deep sorrow and much love that we announce the passing of Sandy DesCotes on Friday, December 16th, 2022, of St. Albert. He passed away peacefully surrounded by his family shortly after his 63rd birthday.
Sandy will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by his wife of 39 years, Beth; his daughters, Alexandra (Jackson) and Rachel; grandchildren, Sutton and Callighan; and his brothers, Steven (Shelley) and Donald (Sherry). He will also be missed dearly by numerous other family and friends.
He was predeceased by his parents, Gerald and Muriel DesCotes of Montreal, Quebec.
Sandy was born in 1959 in the city of Montreal. He was raised alongside his two older brothers playing hockey. His passion for the game continued into his college and university years where he met his wife, Beth. They were married in 1983 and later raised their two daughters in Beth’s hometown of Sutton, Quebec. During this time, Sandy worked as an electrician. In 1997 Sandy moved with his family to St. Albert where his brother, Donald resided. Sandy loved the outdoors and spending time with his family. He was proud of his Scottish heritage and enjoyed riding his Harley on warm summer days. His encouraging words, hearty laugh and self determination will be deeply missed.
