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.

I am very sorry to hear of Rolly's passing. I worked with Rolly at the City. He would regularly ask how my children were doing and was always so proud to share Nick and Alexa's milestones. I will never forget his laugh and the good humour he brought to the office. To Rolly's family and friends I extend my deepest condolences. It was a pleasure to have met you and worked with you. Rest in peace Rolly.
