Dennis Marc Brunette
July 25, 1951 to June 29, 2022
Passed away peacefully at North Bay Regional Hospital on June 29, 2022 with family by his side after a courageous battle with kidney disease.
He will be dearly missed by his wife of 32 yrs. Susan (nee Ordidge), his daughter Stephanie Flynn (Danny), his son Stephen Brunette (Kim), his step daughters Jenn Sweet, Kate Pitman and his grandchildren Ben, Rylie, Ethan and Jack.
Dear brother of Christine Drage (Rob), Gilbert Brunette (Carmen), Bob Brunette (Debbie), Mickey Brunette (Brenda) and Mike Brunette (Leanne).
Lovingly remembered by his sisters-in-law Lynne Lighthall (Peter) and Deb Valliant (Gord).
Dennis was a locomotive engineer with the CNR from 1974 to 1988. He then followed his passion and established Bruman Leasing Ltd. later to be known as Bruman Construction Ltd. which he operated from 1984 to 2010. Upon retiring he enjoyed vacationing in Cape Coral and Killarney. Dennis was an avid boater who spent time exploring Lake Nipissing and the Great Lakes. His favourite boating area was the North Channel and in 2011 the family cottage was constructed in Killarney. He was instrumental in the construction of the Bruman Dog Park and fortunate enough to enjoy time spent with five Great Danes over the past thirty years. Holly misses him.
As per Dennis’ wishes, cremation has taken place and his ashes will be scattered on Georgian Bay at a later date.
The family would like to thank all the doctors and nurses who looked after Dennis in the dialysis unit the past five years, in particular Dr. Tanya Schulman and Dr. Saunders who were there for support and guidance during a very difficult last few hours. Thank you also to Tiffany, 3rd floor CCU who was supportive and kind to the very end, a truly amazing young woman. Another thank you to Paul Lalonde, the best dialysis buddy and a dear friend who supplied Den with endless bagels and rides to and from dialysis.
As an expression of sympathy, donations to the North Bay Regional Hospital’s Renal Dialysis Fund or the North Bay Humane Society would be greatly appreciated.
