After a short stay in the hospital, Jean-Guy Dupuis passed away on Thursday June 3, 2021 at the Health Sciences Centre at the age of 87 (3 days short of 88).
Jean-Guy is survived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Jeannette (née Champagne) and his family: Guy (BarbTeichroew), Louise (MaureenOlson), Raynald (Gaétane Sabourin), Philip, Justin and Raymond Champagne (Lisbeth Savard) as well as his 14 grand-children and two great grandchildren.
He was predeceased by his parents, Wilfrid and Marie-Louise (née Gagné).Jean-Guy was the 7th of ten children: ♰Théodore (♰Germaine Trudel), ♰Roger (♰Léontine St. Godard),♰Alida (♰Edmond Bouchard), ♰Thérèse (♰Charles-Émile Roy), ♰René (♰Rose-Marie Godard and♰Roma Aquin),♰Aimé (♰Jeannine Bérard), ♰Ulysse (♰Jeannine Baril), ♰Gérard (Irène Brunette) and ♰Arthur (♰Dorothée Vincent).
Jean-Guy was born and raised on River lot 183 in St. Jean-Baptiste where he spent almost the entirety of his life. On November 22, 1958, he married Jeannette Champagne and together they started their family. A good provider, Jean-Guy supported his family with the farm until the early 1970’s at which time he decided to pursue a different career: carpentry. Having completed his upgrading, he went to Red River College to obtain his certification in carpentry. This career brought him to job sites near and far as he worked on construction sites of houses, apartment blocks, Assiniboine Park Zoo, various bridges and even a grain elevator. He was willing to travel long distances for work to ensure that his family was well looked after. When work as a carpenter was brought to a standstill due to a strike, Jean-Guy started working at a bus manufacturing plant in Morris (Sheller-Globe, which later became Superior Bus Manufacturing). His leadership skills were so appreciated that he became foreman and subsequently production manager for the company. When the bus plant in Morris closed down, he returned to his carpentry work. He pursued this career until the age of 67 at which time he started a job with the rural municipality of Montcalm maintaining the water quality for the region. He was renowned for the cleanliness of the water plant facility and the meticulous records he kept.
Besides work, Jean-Guy appreciated nature. He loved animals both domestic and wild. Fishing along the riverbank where he grew up brought him rest from the busyness of family life and work. He also enjoyed gardening; sharing and eating the fruit of his labors brought him both great pride and joy. When time allowed it, he loved to gocamping with family and friends. As life slowed him down, he marvelled at the sight of songbirds coming to his bird feeders. When travelling was not an option, he immersed himself in books which allowed him to travel without leaving the comfort of his reclining chair. Above all this, his greatest pleasure came from helping anyone in need be it his children, grandchildren, neighbors,and the community (he was an active member of the local Knights of Columbus)with his many skills and his life experiences. Jean-Guy will be missed by many.
The family would like to thank the staff of the Pavillon (Villa Youville) in Ste Anne for the care and attention they gave to Jean-Guy in his year living there. It brought peace of mind to know his needs were wellmet at a time when visitors were limited due to the pandemic.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Paroisse St Jean-Baptiste Parish in his honour.
Cremation has already taken place. A funeral service will be held September 25, 2021 at 3:00pm at the St Jean-Baptiste Catholic Parish which will be followed by interment at the parish cemetery.
Après un court séjour à l’hôpital, Jean-Guy Dupuis est décédé le jeudi 3 juin 2021 au Centre des sciences de la santé à l’âge de 87 ans.
Jean-Guy laisse dans le deuil son épouse bien-aiméede62 ans, Jeannette (née Champagne) et sa famille : Guy (BarbTeichroew), Louise (Maureen Olson), Raynald (Gaétane Sabourin), Philip, Justin et Raymond Champagne (Lisbeth Savard) ainsi que ses 14 petits-enfants et ses deux arrière-petits-enfants.
Il fut précédé par ses parents, Wilfrid et Marie-Louise (née Gagné). Jean-Guy était le 7e de dix enfants : ♰Théodore (♰Germaine Trudel), ♰Roger (♰Léontine St. Godard), ♰Alida (♰Edmond Bouchard), ♰Thérèse (♰Charles-Émile Roy), ♰René (♰ Rose-Marie Godard et ♰Roma Aquin), ♰Aimé (♰Jeannine Bérard), ♰Ulysse (♰Jeannine Baril), ♰Gérard (Irène Brunette) et ♰Arthur (♰Dorothée Vincent).
Jean-Guy est né et a grandi sur le lot de rivière 183 à Saint-Jean-Baptiste où il a passé presque toute sa vie. Le 22 novembre 1958, il épouse Jeannette Champagne et ensemble ils fondent leur famille. Bon pourvoyeur, Jean-Guy a fait vivre sa famille comme fermier jusqu’au début des années 1970, époque à laquelle il a décidé de poursuivre une autre carrière : la charpenterie. Après avoir terminé sa mise à niveau scolaire, il est allé au Red River College pour obtenir son certificat en charpenterie. Cette carrière l’a amené sur des chantiers de près et de loin puisqu’il a travaillé sur des chantiers de construction de maisons, d’immeubles à appartements, du zoo du parc Assiniboine, de divers ponts et même d’un élévateur à grains. Il était prêt à parcourir de longues distances pour son travail afin de s’assurer que sa famille ne manque de rien. Lorsque le travail de charpentier a été interrompu en raison d’une grève, Jean-Guy a commencé àtravailler dans une usine de fabrication d’autobus à Morris (Sheller-Globe, qui deviendra plus tard Superior Bus Manufacturing). Ses qualités de leader ont été tellement appréciées qu’il est devenu contremaître puis directeur de production pour l’entreprise. Lorsque l’usine d’autobus de Morris a fermé ses portes, il est retourné à son travail de charpenterie. Il a poursuivi cette carrière jusqu’à l’âge de 67 ans. Par la suite,il a commencé un emploi avec la municipalité rurale de Montcalm pour maintenir la qualité d’eau pour la région. Il était réputé pour la propreté de l’usine de traitement d’eau et les dossiers méticuleux qu’il tenait.
À partdu travail, Jean-Guy appréciait la nature. Il aimait les animaux domestiques et sauvages. La pêche au bord de la rivière où il a grandi lui permettaitde se reposer de l’agitation de la vie familiale et du travail. Il aimait aussi le jardinage; et manger le fruit de son travail lui procurait à la fois une grande fierté et une grande joie. Lorsque le temps le lui permettait, il aimait faire du camping avec sa famille et ses amis. Alors que la vie le ralentissait, il s’émerveillait de la vue des oiseaux chanteurs qui venaient à ses mangeoires. Lorsque le voyage n’était pas une option, il se plongeait dans ses livres qui lui permettaientde voyager sans quitter le confort de son fauteuil inclinable. Par-dessus tout, son plus grand plaisir était d’aider toute personne dans le besoin que ce soient ses enfants, ses petits-enfants, ses voisins ou la communauté (il était un membre actif des Chevaliers de Colomb) avec ses nombreuses compétences et ses mots de sagesse. Jean-Guy sera grandement manqué.
La famille tient à remercier le personnel du Pavillon (Villa Youville) à Ste Anne pour les soins et l’attention qu’ils ont apportés à Jean-Guy durant son annéechez eux. Il était bonde savoir qu’il était en bonne compagnieà un moment où les visiteurs étaient limités en raison de la pandémie.
Au lieu de fleurs, la famille demande que des dons soient faits à la Paroisse St Jean-Baptiste en son honneur.
Cremation has already taken place. A funeral service will be held September 25, 2021 at 3:00pm at the St Jean-Baptiste Catholic Parish which will be followed by interment at the parish cemetery.
