Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryALBERT (BERT) DUPASQUIER
With heavy hearts and deep sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved husband, dad, and grandpa, Bert Dupasquier, at the age of 66. Bert fought his hardest until his last breath and we feel so fortunate that he was able to council us until he ultimately passed away peacefully in his sleep on January 7, 2025, at the St Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, MB. He leaves to mourn his wife of 45 years, Bev; children, Leah and James (Gillian); and grandchildren, Benjamin and Rose.
Bert also leaves to mourn two brothers, Normand (Mimmo) and Roger (Louise); and sister, Estelle (Roland). Also left to mourn are his mother in-law, Gerry; two sisters in-law, Joyce (Bruce) and Donna (Lynol); and brother in-law, Garry (Jackie); along with nieces, nephews, and many other family members and friends.
Bert and Bev were married in May 1979. They started their life together in rural Alberta before returning home to Manitoba in 1992. Bert worked in the agriculture industry for over 40 years. They made several places their home over the years and collected many friends along the way, who became additional family members to them. Bert enjoyed curling, fishing, favourite TV shows and spending time with his family and friends.
A celebration of life will be held at 1:00pm on February 1, 2025, at The United Church in Meadowood, 1111 Dakota St., Winnipeg, MB. The service will be livestreamed on the church’s webpage (ucim.org).
We wish to thank the staff at the St. Boniface hospital, palliative ward for the care and love he received in his final days.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to: Cancer Care Manitoba, 675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB., Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (CPFF) https://cpff.ca/donate/, or a charity of your choice.

Bev, Donna and I were saddened upon hearing of Bert's passing. Your children and grandchildren are a huge legacy to his life with you and his passing.

Words are failing me and I am saddened that I reach out to Bev and Leah (and James who I never had the pleasure of meeting) at this most difficult time. Bert seemed to never have a bad day. He remained positive, full of life and energy, even while facing his illness. Bert was always eager to meet new people, talk to people and figure out solutions to problems. He had a hearty laugh and a wicked sense of humour and he shared that gift with everyone he met. I will miss our coffee chats. But his spirit will never be forgotten. - Posted by: Diana Wiesenthal (Colleague and friend) on: Jan 18, 2025
