GUY PHILIPPE LAGASSE
September 7, 1957 - January 25, 2021
Guy is survived and will be remembered by his son Réjean (and Réjean's mother Carrie Batt); siblings, Michelle (Dan Chatham), Roland (Lyette), Jacqueline, Jacques, and sister-in-law Gisèle Lapointe; nieces, Natalie and Janelle Janzen (Mitchel); nephews, Alain (Natalie) and Mario, great-nieces, Olivia and Audrey; cousins, his roommate John and numerous friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Jeffrey and Armande, and his brother Paul Émile.
Guy grew up in St Vital on Hastings Blvd., attended École St. Eugène, École Précieux-Sang, and attended Red River College where he obtained his Surveyor's licence. He is remembered for living life on his own terms, his love of life, his sense of humour, being charming, kind and having the gift of the gab/being personable. He enjoyed cooking, reading, playing chess, watching and playing sports (tennis in the summer, basketball in the autumn, hockey in the winter, golf in the summer). He was an audiophile afficionado, music historian buff extraordinaire (particularly jazz, progressive, and fusion) and an avid stereo electronics enthusiast. He would often volunteer at the Jazz Festival. Guy's favourite bird was an owl which makes sense since he was a night owl.
Thank you to John Roy for taking care of Guy and Cathy MacGillivary for setting up the zoom meeting so we could say goodbye.
If desired, donations in Guy's memory can be made to Kingston Youth Shelter (www. kingstonyouthshelter.com), or a charity of your choice.

I am saddened to learn of Guy's passing. Guy was a friend from way back in high school and occassionaly we would bump into each other, usually at the Norwood Hotel. Many an evening was spent in the basement of the family house in st vital, playing chess, drinking scotch and listening to jazz, laughing at everything. Hanging with Guy was always a good time. I wish I would have kept in touch with Guy over the years, but life gets in the way sometimes and before you know it 25 years has passed by. The world needs more kind, gentle souls like Guy. He will be missed. - Posted by: Bob " Harv" Cormier (Old friend) on: Feb 07, 2021
