RENE (PETE) GAUDRY It is with deep sorrow that the family and friends of Rene "Pete" Gaudry announce his passing, following a massive heart attack, on Tuesday, October 9, 2001, at the age of 35. He was predeceased by his father Neil Gaudry (M.L.A. for Saint Boniface, on February 18, 1999). Rene Gaudry leaves to mourn his mother Leona Gaudry (nee Rainville), his brother Roger, his sister Nicole, his beloved Joanne Desrosiers, his dear aunt Annette, numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, friends and all the members of his new Desrosiers family. Rene Gaudry was born on March 2, 1966 in Saint Boniface where he grew up. At the time of his untimely passing, Rene Gaudry was finishing an internship at Momentum Corporation where he was starting a new career. He graduated with Honours from Robertson College after successfully completing a Computer & Accounting course. A man with an outstanding kindness, Rene looked after his mom after the passing of his dad whom he called his guardian angel. Rene loved his mom with the passion, the respect and the patience that a son has for the one who gave him birth. An exceptional brother for Roger, Rene was always present where and when it counted. With warmth and amiable tone of voice, he always found the time to listen and then offered a word of encouragement to cheer up. Rene was the family big teddy bear that always had a little joke for everyone. Rene was close to his little sister Nicole whom he affectionately looked after. Side by side, they both lived the richness of life through confidence that only a brother and a sister know how to appreciate the importance. Rene was indeed for Nicole the big brother of whom all the little sisters in the world dream. Rene was stepping into the great adventure of love. Seduced by the kindness, the delicateness, the goodness and the charm of this 64" giant, Joanne was becoming the woman of his life. Rene had conquered Joannes heart with whom he enjoyed nature by looking at the sunset, the moon or the shining stars. His friends trusted Rene, "Pete". As for him, a secret confided in him was a personal commitment from him. His numerous buds appreciated the special attention he gave to friendship; through wishing his best wishes for a birthday or an anniversary of which he never forgot the date. Rene enjoyed public contact. With the small children with whom he enjoyed having fun, or the seniors whom he served with passion and devotion at lAccueil Colombien, or through lAuberge du Violon during the Festival du Voyageur, Rene served his community with heart.
