It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gaston Bertrand Dolbec on February 27, 2022 at the age of 74. He was predeceased by his proud and loving mother Olivette Briand.
He will be greatly missed and remembered by his beloved spouse and devoted friend Janine Ewing-Dolbec, loving children Alexandre (Marie-Pier Haide), Olivia (Logan Gleason-Blois), his brother Mario of St. Jerome, QC and grandson Tommy.
Gaston’s early childhood was in Saint-Alexandre Québec; he was a devoted son and brother. He excelled in his studies. Gaston joined the National Defence Armed forces and served his country in several overseas operations, risking his life to protect Canadians. He continued his career and was an outstanding manager, mentor, and he took pride in helping his employees.
Gaston was most proud of his role as a devoted father and loved his children dearly. He was always there for them; he was kind, fair, and understanding.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Gaston’s memory to the Red Cross would be appreciated.
C'est avec une grande tristesse que nous annonçons le décès de Gaston Bertrand Dolbec le 27 février 2022 à l'âge de 74 ans. Il a été prédécédé par sa fière et aimante mère Olivette Briand.
Il manquera beaucoup à son épouse et amie dévouée Janine Ewing-Dolbec, ses enfants Alexandre (Marie-Pier Haide) et Olivia (Logan Gleason-Blois), son frère Mario de St-Jérôme, QC et son petit-fils Tommy.
Gaston a passé sa petite enfance à Saint-Alexandre, Québec ; il était un fils et un frère dévoué. Il excellait dans ses études. Gaston s'est joint aux forces armées de la Défense nationale et a servi son pays dans plusieurs opérations outre-mer, risquant sa vie pour protéger les Canadiens. Il a poursuivi sa carrière et a été un gestionnaire exceptionnel, un mentor, et il était fier d'aider ses employés.
Gaston était surtout fier de son rôle de père dévoué et aimait tendrement ses enfants. Il était toujours là pour eux ; il était gentil, juste et compréhensif.
De préférence à des fleurs, des dons à la mémoire de Gaston à la Croix-Rouge seraient appréciés.

Gaston was a smart man, inescapably funny, easy to like, and loved entirely by his family and those fortunate enough to know him. The presence he had in the hearts of his loved ones was enormous, and so too their grief in his passing. My love to the family. Rest in peace Gaston.

Thank you to everyone who sent us their condolences, my dad would have so appreciated everyone taking time to say something.
And to my dad: I’m still missing you everyday, there’s a giant hole in my heart. But I can say that I’ve felt you with me every single day since you passed, so thank you for continuing to be a constant beautiful and reassuring presence in my life even though you are no longer physically here. You’re still the best dad I could have ever asked for.
Bonne nuit papa, je t’aime x
Janine Ewing-Dolbec
I miss you terribly - it will be very difficult indeed, not being able to talk to my best friend of 30+ years. Thank you for our wonderful family and being a pillar to us all. You will be lovingly remembered by Alexandre, Olivia, Marble, Tommy, and Mario. You brought us much joy and laughter.
Until we meet again . . . Love Janine

My sincerest condolences to Janine, Olivia, and the rest of Gaston's family. Having also lost my dad around the same age as Olivia I send her all my love knowing how difficult it is. I will always have the fond memories of uncle Gaston with me in my heart. He was so kind and he will be so missed.
Que de souvenirs sur l'avenue Livingstone, où nos enfants ont partagé tellement de moments... Toutes mes sympathies à Olivia et Janine.
