Ivan Norman Lafond
It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Ivan Norman Lafond on May 22nd, 2025. Ivan was born Sept 8, 1963 to Gerard and Janice Lafond (nee Barker) in North York General Hospital in Toronto, Ontario. In 1969 Ivan moved with his mother and two brothers to Devlin, Ontario where they lived for a short time until permanently settling in Fort Frances, Ontario. Ivan completed his high school education at Fort Frances High School and then moved to Thunder Bay where he enrolled in University at Lakehead University. He graduated with an Honorary Degree in Art a few years later. Ivan remained in Thunder Bay where he lived and worked until the time of his passing. Ivan’s love for art was present in many of the sketches and drawings over the years with the last one being a special gift for his mother for Christmas of her beloved Tank.
Ivan was a kind soul and would give anything to those who were in need, even if it meant that he went without. His father Gerard predeceased Ivan, as did his grandparents Percy and Eileen Barker. He is survived by his mother Janice, two brothers Rick, and Paul (Stacy), his stepmother Claudette, his sisters Rachel (Luc) and Billie Jo, his special friend Tina as well as many Aunts, Uncles and cousins.
Those that knew him will sadly miss Ivan and a small graveyard ceremony will be held at the Box Alder Cemetery June 26, 2025 at 11 a.m.
