Matthew Stephen Lagacé
October 20, 1988 – June 30, 2019
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our wonderful, kind, fun-spirited son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, uncle, and friend, Matthew. At the age of 30 and after a short battle with Pancreatic Cancer, Matthew passed away peacefully June 30, 2019, with his family by his side. Left to mourn are his parents Claude and Suzie, his sister Bernadette, Memère Eveline, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Matthew was raised in La Salle, MB and graduated from Collège St. Norbert Collegiate in 2006, where he found his true passion for theatre. He later graduated with a B.A. majoring in theatre from the U of M in 2012. From there he worked very hard and became an amazing Stage Manager. Matthew lived life to the fullest through his love for family, friends, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and of course Theatre and the Winnipeg Jets! Matthew was an honest, loving, genuine person who cared so much for anyone who crossed his path. Matthew touched the lives of so many and will be remembered for his generosity, kindness, humour, smiles and most importantly his hugs. Matthew brought so much joy and happiness to us all.
Our family would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Park and Mayah from Cancer Care, Dr. Christiansen and the staff on 5E at St. Boniface Hospital, as well as Dr. Woelk and the Palliative Care team from Boundary Trails Health Centre, for their amazing care and compassion for Matthew.
A funeral mass will be held at La Salle St. Hyacinthe Church, Monday, July 15, 2019. Eulogy will begin at 6:30 p.m. with Mass to follow. A reception will be held after the Mass at the Caisse Community Centre.
