Denis Lavoie passed away on Sunday, October 16, 2022, at the age of 67 of lung cancer. He was a devoted husband to his late wife (Aline Lavoie), caring father, loving brother and grandfather and an honorable friend. He will be dearly missed by his daughter Melanie Roy (Pierre-Paul Roy) and his grandchildren, Evan Roy and Caleb Roy. He was the son of the late Victor Lavoie and late Aline Whissell and brother of Bob, Paul, Claudette, Diane, Pierre, Jeanne, Huguette, Guy, Lorraine, Lise and Rolland (predeceased by his brothers, Roger and Maurice).
Denis was passionate about his trade (steamfitter), enjoyed his fishing trips and found joy in helping others.
Family and friends are invited to a service in memory of Denis at Beechwood Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services (280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa), on Thursday, October 27 at 10:00 AM, followed by a reception.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated.

Mes sincères condoléances suite au décès de votre frère Denis. Je pense également à Roger et Maurice et aussi mes sympathies à Guy suite au décès de sa femme récemment. Ce ne sont pas des moments faciles de perdre un être cher. Je garde dans mon coeur des bons souvenirs que j'ai eus avec votre famille durant mon enfance et mes pensées et prières sont avec vous tous. Take good care.

There are no words at times like these. Denis was always smiling and laughing whenever I saw him. He brought joy to those around him and though I did not see him often he will be missed

What a wonderful person gone too soon. We are so sad, We were hoping to see you again next month. All the talk we hear about Newfoundlanders being so kind,generous,helpful,etc. well Dennis our friend we’ve never met a Nflder as nice as you. And we were raised here.
To your daughter, we are so very sorry for your loss.
We miss you dear brother. You were part of this wonderful family and added so much to enjoying life. As fussy as you were (*wipe your feet before you enter the boat), you were still a GREAT fisherman. Your brothers and cousins enjoyed taking your money at our card games, although we let you win at times. Our lives are going to be less without you.
Mes sympathies chère Mélanie.
