LOUIS CARRIERE
Louis is survived by his wife Jeannine, daughter Suzanne (Tim), grandchildren, Erin, Sam and Evan, sisters, Leona (Roger) and Anne Marie (Maurice), brothers, Gerry (Rita), Donat (Louisa), and many nieces, nephews and extended family. He was predeceased by his brother Claude and sisters, Sr. Denise and Jeanne (Isidore). Louis was born to Joseph and Exilda (Brisson) Carriere on October 10, 1949. He moved from the Otterburne/St. Pierre area to St. Boniface, Winnipeg when he was five years old. He graduated from College Saint Joseph. In his career, Louis worked for Domo Gas, Metropolitan Life, and in the real estate industry. He also started his own businesses with Carlev Property Management and Sea Breeze Tanning Salon. He later settled into a long career with Sears as a salesperson, retiring in 2004.
Louis was an animal lover and the head dog trainer for C&D Pet Supplies, German Shepherd Dog Club of Manitoba, and Best Friend Animal Hospital. He loved the outdoors. He enjoyed gardening and many commented that his backyard was like a park. In his hands, he could make anything grow. Louis' grandchildren, Erin, Sam and Evan, held a very special place in his heart. He would often drive them to school and loved to recount their daily adventures; especially on "Tim Horton Tuesdays". He will be forever remembered for his sense of humour, easy laugh and the "Grandpa that said bad words when driving".
In accordance with Louis' wishes, cremation has taken place and a private church ceremony will follow. Tributes can be made at www.alternacremations.ca.
Flowers gratefully declined. In Louis' spirit, celebrate life and embrace it with kindness.

I was surprised to learn of the passing of my favourite uncle, Louis Carriere. We were only five years apart, so when I was a teen Louis was almost like my big brother. We had several fun projects together, and I always admired his way with people... he could be sweet as honey... and he always stood by me. I offer my sincere condolences to Janine, and to his family and siblings. We all feel the loss of Louis very deeply. - Posted by: Ernest Ruet d'Auteuil (nephew) on: Dec 24, 2020
