It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Rolland (Rolly) Leon Hupé. Rolland passed away peacefully at St. Vincent’s Hospital on July 22, 2024. A beloved husband of 37 years to Anne-Marie Hupé and a devoted father to Nicholas, Alexa, and daughter-in-law Lora. Rolland loved his family unconditionally. This extended to his siblings Suzette, David, Stephane, Roxanne, Chantal, Dominic, and Ronald, and earned him the deserved title of fun uncle to many wonderful nieces and nephews. Rolland is predeceased by his father Rolland Maurice Hupé and mother Louise Kirouette.
Born and raised in Ottawa, Rolly was a former youth worker and social worker for the City of Ottawa. Rolly positively influenced countless lives. He was an artist, drummer, motorcycle enthusiast, and was fiercely proud of his family. He will be remembered for his sincere kindness, loyalty, and humour.

The world is now without a truly wonderful person. I think Rolly did everything with kindness, loved his family and others, was smart and funny, always looked for a laugh. We had some memorable times together in years long ago. Was sad to hear of the health challenge and now it's final result.
Condolences to Anne Marie, Nicholas and Alexa. You will always be able to think of your husband and father with so much pride just because he was who he was.
