The family of
C.J. Pictou, Jr. (Christopher James), regret to announce the passing

Juvenile Diabetes at the St. Martha’s Regional Hospital,

1985. “Butter Boy” as Kiju called him, had a love
for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT), hockey and basketball
from an early age and that took him all through high school and
beyond. The only thing that rivalled that was his love for
the powwow trail, drumming, and singing his way throughout Canada and
the U.S. C.J. was a Red Seal Pipefitter and worked all over
Canada making friends along the way. He was known for his TMNT, his
crazy memory for sports, and most of all, his
humour.

his life, his daughter Kailey Augustine, both of Paqtnkek.

Paul (Tyler Watters) of Paqtnkek MN; nephew, Muin Meuse-Pictou of Bear

huge circle of powwow family and friends that he held near and dear to
his heart.
C.J. was
predeceased by paternal grandparents, Robert James Pictou, Sr. and
Annie Mary Francis; maternal grandparents, Wallace Coutts
and Helen (Coutts) Bernasconi, among many other family and
