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.

Family and friends are invited to visit at Beechwood Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services at 280 Beechwood Avenue, on Thursday, August 1 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Faustina Parish at 2571 Ottawa Regional Rd 174, Cumberland on Friday, August 2 at 11 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Bruyere Foundation (Donate Now - Bruyère Foundation) or Diabetes Canada (Make your one time gift now. - Diabetes Canada).
