Rodney Lapointe Obituary

Rodney Lapointe

1970-2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Rodney Lapointe, beloved father, brother, son and friend, who passed away on December 11th at the age of 54. Born on January 19th, 1970, in Sudbury, Ont., Rodney brought energy and laughter into every room he entered. His infectious spirit and zest for life were undeniable, leaving a lasting impression on everyone he met. Rodney will be forever remembered for his kind heart, sense of humor and altruistic nature. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. He is survived by his beloved daughters Alyx (Ethan) and Emma (Josh), his father, Bruno (Gisèle, predeceased), his sister Tammi (Mike) and his nephews Tyler and Jake, as well as his ‘‘hockey brother’ Jordan Fois. He was a loving partner to Lisa Grace, who was by his side until the very end.

Cremation has occurred in accordance with Rodney’s wishes. A celebration of life will be held in the summer. In lieu of flowers, donations to Maison McCulloch Hospice or Canadian Cancer Society are appreciated. We are grateful for the love and support during this time and take comfort in knowing that he was so well taken care of by Lisa, as well as the nurses and PSWs from the 4th floor at Health Sciences North and the staff at Maison McCulloch Hospice.

Cremation services provided by Simple Wishes of the North and Crystal Crematorium.

C'est avec beaucoup de tristesse que nous vous annonçons le décès de Rodney Lapointe, père, frère, fils et ami, qui nous a quitté le 11 décembre à l'âge de 54 ans. Né le 19 janvier 1970 à Sudbury, Ontario, Rodney resplendissait de bonne humeur. Son esprit contagieux et sa joie de vivre étaient indéniables alors qu’il laissait une impression durable sur les gens qui l’entouraient. Rodney restera à jamais dans notre mémoire pour son grand cœur, son sens de l'humour et sa nature altruiste. Son souvenir vivra à jamais dans le cœur de sa famille et de ses amis. Il laisse dans le deuil ses filles bien-aimées Alyx (Ethan) et Emma (Josh), son père Bruno (Gisèle, prédécédée), sa sœur Tammi (Mike) et ses neveux Tyler et Jake, ainsi que son « Hockey Brother » Jordan Fois. Il laisse aussi dans le deuil sa partenaire Lisa Grace, qui était à ses côtés jusqu'à la toute fin. La crémation a eu lieu conformément aux souhaits de Rodney. Une célébration de la vie aura lieu cet été. Au lieu de fleurs, des dons à la Maison McCulloch Hospice ou à la Société canadienne du cancer sont appréciés. Nous sommes reconnaissants pour l'amour et le soutien de la communauté pendant cette période difficile, et nous sommes réconfortés de savoir qu'il a été si bien soigné pendant les dernières semaines de sa vie par Lisa, ainsi que par les infirmières et les PSSP du 4e étage d'Horizon Santé-Nord, et du personnel de la Maison McCulloch.

Les arrangements funéraires furent confiés à Simple Wishes of the North, Sudbury et le Crématorium Crystal
